Exploring Word Cloud in SAS VA 7.3

Any good resource to recommend on using Word Cloud in SAS VA 7.3 for text analytics? How to interpret the results that are generated from Word Cloud, such as topics, weightage, sentiments etc., and draw meaningful insights from a pool of text?

Specific examples would be useful.

Thank you.

Any idea where can I find the list of English stop words in SAS website, so that I can upload them into SAS VA? I tried searching "stop list", "engstopl.sas7bdat", but all I got were documentations on how to upload. But I want the actual list of stop words.

Thanks for the help.

I'm not sure if there is documentation of what the list contains, but as it is an out of the box feature you should be able to just go into the data preparation tool and load it ( Tools > Load analytics stop list)
