Can RM visually cluster and relate topics from the content of a book?

What I want to do is take unstructured text as found in a book whether fiction ornon-fiction and get a visual that shows topics, clusters passages/sentences according to topic, and relates them semantically. 

 

I have two purposes for this. First, as a writer, to compile notes written over almost two decades so that I can find everything I've written related to a topic of interest. Second, as a reader, to map books and quickly find passages related to a topic of interest.

 

Can RM do this? Or am I barking up the wrong tree investigatint text analysis tools? Maybe there's a simpler type of software to do this?

    Hi there.


    Welcome to boards. RapidMiner can do this but it doesn't come as a prepackaged type of system, so you'd have to build the processes to do all of that and possibly hack some R or Python.

     

    Another possible easier way is to investigate using the following 3rd party extensions: Aylien and Rosette. They have support for sentence and entity extraction, taxonmy categorization, and topics.

    Hi,

     

    Another good starting point for text analytics with RapidMiner is also this video series here:

    It is a bit outdated but the concepts still hold.  And then there of course the 3rd party tools T-Bone has mentioned.

     

    Hope this helps,

    Ingo
