Segmenting Tweets

[Neon84]

Hello,

I am a new user to SAS and i need help with a project on segmenting tweets on a target twitter handle. I have spooled the tweets from the target twitter account using the Twitter API and have cleaned the data and done sentiment analysis.

Next step is the SAS platform, I have a few ideas on the steps to follow but not sure about the order or direction or expected outcome. 

Any help will be appreciated please, the steps, codes, etc

Hello,

Do you have SAS Text Miner (SAS 9.4) or Visual Text Analytics (SAS VIYA).

Without any of the above, it will be difficult to deal with free text (unstructured data) and to do topic (central theme) clustering.

Let us know,

Koen

Thank you for your response.
Yes, I have access to SAS Viya.

Hello,

Sorry if I was not clear.

SAS VIYA is just a skeleton on which all kinds of modules are hung.

So the question is : do you have VTA (Visual Text Analytics) in your license?

To find out, submit :

proc setinit; run;

... and check for these lines in the LOG-screen :

• Text Mining Process
• CAS Action Set for Text Mining

Do you have them?

Thanks,

Koen

Yes i have them both.

OK. Good.

You can do visual text analytics in Model Studio or "non-visual" text analytics in SAS Studio V.

Here's an example of the latter (the programming way) :
