Text Mining - n-Grams - Wordlist: How to find and count n-Grams (4-Grams) from a list in texts?
Dear RapiderMiner Community,
I have the
following problem and hope you can help me with it: I have a sample
of different texts with IDs (data imported form Excel) and a list of word
sequences containing four words each (4-grams, also imported from Excel). I
would like to have a matrix which shows me how often each of the 4-grams of the
list appears in each of the texts.
In my current
process I get a matrix which looks like the one I would like to have (picture
in the attachment), but „0“ is the only number displayed in the columns. In
other words, RapidMiner does not find the 4-grams in the texts, although I know
they occur in them. To help you
imagining what I mean I created and attached an example set of texts and
4-grams to this post (already as RapidMiner sample sets and as an Excel with two tabs). Each of the 4-grams should be in some of the texts. At the end of this text box
you can find my current process.
The real data set and 4-gram list are much bigger, so just creating n-grams with "Process Documents from Data" and picking the ones I need will not work unfortunately.
Thank you very much in advance for your support.

So what you need to do is tokenize your input again, this time on spaces so your n-grams are tokens again and can be matched with your wordlist.

First, I wanted to congratulate you . In deed, with your first post, you :
- provided your process
- provided all your data
- explained very precisely what is your problem.
So you conscientiously applied the rules of this community : it's rare and it should be emphasized, so congrats !
Now your process : You did not set "Term occurences" in the parameters of Process Documents from Data operator...
You can find the working process in attached file.
