RSS Feeds Classification Process

I am working on a process that I read bbc worlds news from its rss url then I predict positive/negative to each news as well as over all news.

I have built two text files containing positive words and negative words. Following is my XML, but somehow the result generated is not what I want. The result from this process only predicts 4 words, which is very strange. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi,
    sorry, but I think this process does not make any sense...

    You are building a naive bayes model that will just count positive against negative words. Ok, if you just want to classify according to these prepared word lists...

    But then you are retrieving an RSS feed, processing it according to the word list resulting from your two word list files. But you throw away the result and use the same wordlist that came in to classify? This is just senseless. Use the ExampleSet instead.

    Anyway this is not the way you usually use data mining. It would be much easier for you to write a script that counts the occurring of your words. Normally you will need the information for a small sample of posts, where they are positive or negative. Then the system will learn which words are positive and which negative automatically! Much more flexible...

    Greetings,
      Sebastian

    Thank you for your reply Sebastian, I am new to Text Mining but I am trying to learn. I built this model following another post on this forum:
    http://rapid-i.com/rapidforum/index.php/topic,3078.0.html

    If I can classify text files using this model how come I cannot classify rss fees using the same model?

    Hi,

    you are using the wordlist instead of using the result of your lower Process Documents operator for classification.
    I corrected your process:
