"Importing textdata from csv files"

Gary_HearneGary_Hearne Member, University Professor Posts: 6 image University Professor
edited May 2019 in Help
I teach a data mining course to business management students (with little or no programming experience) using a combination of R and RapidMiner. I try to duplicate the examples from each package in the other so that students to appreciate the differences in usability, available algorithms and results. For obvious reasons I use the graphical process approach in RapidMiner, rather than teaching XML (which I don't know anyway).

I have two csv data sets which I use in R, neither of which I have been able to import in the appropriate format to use in RapidMiner, despite playing around with what look like sensible operator options.

sms_spam.csv has two columns, the first identifies the content of the second as "spam" or "ham", while the second is a text message. (http://www.dt.fee.unicamp.br/~tiago/smsspamcollection/). I want to import this so that I can use Naive Bayes to build a classifier for messages.

groceries.csv is an example set that comes with the arules library in R. It has multiple (unlabelled) columns, with each row representing a transaction, and as many columns used as there are items - so unstructured. I want to use association rules and/or fp-growth on this.

Any suggestions on how I can get either or both of these data sets into RapidMiner in a usable form would be greatly appreciated.

    hi @User33136 - good to hear from you. I took a minute on your sms-spam.csv set. Is this what you're looking for?

    I will give the other a try later.

    Do you want me to put these on the community samples repo for your students? It may be easier for you and your students.

    Hi Scott, and thanks for your reply.

    To be honest, I wouldn't know where to start with the code. I only ever use the GUI, and my students freak at the very thought of having to adapt the R code I give them.

    I was hoping there were suitable operators available to do this - there are a few that sound like they should, but I can't get any of them to work.

    Hi Gary - 

    Haha no only the community manager can change the user id. :wink: I can change this to whatever you want. Let me know what your preferred 'handle' is.

    That code is XML - the backbone of RapidMiner and the way people swap processes. You can learn how to do it here: https://community.rapidminer.com/discussion/37047. It's just a matter of 'copy-and-paste'. I'm attaching the same process as an .rmp file to this message if that's easier for you.

    The process looks like this when you load it into RapidMiner:



    and I made a folder for you on the Community Samples repo so any student can just load and run :smiley:
