Sentiment Mining in Rapidminer

By Tom on June 7, 2012 6:18 AM | No Comments
I came across a great slideshare presentation from RCOMM 2011 about how to use Rapidminer for sentiment mining. While I wasn't there for this presentation, you can get a good idea how Bruno Ohana and Brendan Tierney applied the various operators to the IMBD movie database.

Transfer to Moveable Type complete

By Tom on June 6, 2012 7:45 PM | No Comments
I've transferred the blog to moveable type, hopefully minimizing the hacker exploits.  Wordpress, while an easy to use blogging platform, is riddled with security holes. Likewise, the same can be said with all of them (Expression Engine, Text Pattern), but I hope this nuttiness is behind me now.

What's left to do now is to clean out old useless posts, fix the links on the Rapidminer Tutorials, and take the blog into a new direction.

Thanks for your patience, things will hopefully get active again here.

Call it what you like: aggregating? Blogging? Choosing? Copyright infringing sometimes? But it's not actually curation, or anything like it. - VIA MAOXIAN. TRUE, YOU MUST CREATE TO CURATE - NOT REPACKAGE AND CLAIM IT AS CREATION.
  • About WordNet - WordNet - About WordNet - WordNet® is a large lexical database of English. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept. - MUST REVIEW AND SEE HOW TO USE WITH RAPIDMINER FOR SENTIMENT ANALYSIS
