Knowing where and how to apply techniques you learn is key. Text mining can mean different things to different people at different times
A simple demonstration: Intro to case study
We analyse two prominent bloggers and their posts.
We wish to uncover how they differ in their writing style and area of focus
A simple demonstration: Import and summarize data
Step 1 – Importing the blog content files and summarizing them
A simple demonstration: Visualize word frequency using a word cloud on each set
Create a graphic representation of topics and words each author focuses on
