Draft
Introduction
Rapidminer is both a free open source and commercial product for text mining (content analysis).
“RapidMiner provides data mining and machine learning procedures including: data loading and transformation (ETL), data preprocessing and visualization, modelling, evaluation, and deployment. The data mining processes can be made up of arbitrarily nestable operators, described in XML files and created in RapidMiner's graphical user interface (GUI). RapidMiner is written in the Java programming language. It also integrates learning schemes and attribute evaluators of the Weka machine learning environment and statistical modelling schemes of the R-Project.” (Wikipedia, retrieved 20:37, 13 March 2012 (CET))
Installation
- Installation of RapidMiner Studio is very easy on Windows (tested on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, both 64 bits), when using the Installer provided on your RapidMiner Account page.
- Installation is kind of difficult on Mac OS X depending on Java versions. In 10.10, RapidMiner asks for Java 1.7 or above, even if you've got 1.8.X installed.
Note : RapidMiner is now a commercial software, so you can only use the product for 14 days, after asking a trial license.
A complete set of tools
First of all, it is important to say that RapidMiner Studio - and RapidMiner Server, that work with it - are a complete set of tools, rather than a more specific software. RapidMiner website says that "RapidMiner lets you easily sort through and run more than 1500 operations".
Because of it's complexity, i will only describe some of RapidMiner Studio's functions. However, I will show above an use example of RapidMiner Studio as a basic text miner. RapidMiner Studio's highlights are :
- A visual - code-free - environment, so no programming needed
- Available on all major operating systems and platforms
- Main function : Design of analysis processes
- Predictive analytics (with pre-made templates)
- Data loading
- Data transformation
- Data modeling
- Data visualization (with lots of visualizations)
- Extension API
- Lots of data sources : Excel, Access, Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL, Sybase, Ingres, MySQL, Postgres, SPSS, dBase, Text files, and more
- RapidMiner allows you to work with different types and sizes of data sources
Use example : text mining
As described before, RapidMiner can be used as a text mining software. I will describe here an example of text mining process, where we will :
- Load and extract words from (the text files in) two directories
- Ignore some words that are not wanted (stoplist)
- Generate the results
- View results in two different ways
Launch RapidMiner Studio and load data
As you launched RapidMiner Studio (v. 6.1.1000) you will need to install the Text Mining extension. RapidMiner works with extensions that plug into the core system. The Text Mining extension can be found in RapidMiner Marketplace, which can be accessed from Help > Updates and Extensions (Marketplace) as shows the figure 1.
After restarting the software, we can start working with it. First of all create a New Process. You will see now the main window of RapidMiner Studio, and I will briefly describe the main zones of the working space :
- In blue we have the main toolbar
- In orange we can see all the operators that we can use in our processes
- In green we have the repositories
- In purple we have the main process windows, where we will be able to see process results and progression
- In black we have parameters of each element of or process and help
From here, we will first of all find our operator Process Documents from Files (screenshot here) and we will drag it into the Process zone, in the center. At this point we have our operator in our process, and we need to set his parameters. Clic on our operator in the main process area, and see which parameters you can set on the right side. First parameter is text directories which we will set right away.
- In my case, i have a directory on my Desktop which name is "data"
- In /data/, I have /litterature/text1.txt and /photographie/text2.txt
- I will set up my text directories like suggested in the Fig. 3
In next section we will talk about operators, and we will come back to Process Documents from Files parameters to choose which vector we want RapidMiner to create.
Define StopWords and operations
Now that we have our Process Documents from Files operator in our Main Process area and our text directories set up correctly, we will need to add our StopWords operator.
