I'm currently working on a project where everyone's expertise would be of enormous help.
To date, together, we've contributed more than 80,000 posts to the forum. I am currently mining those posts to come up with a framework that, hopefully, will make it easier for everyone to tap those posts in order to quickly find the answers to their questions if those questions have already been answered on the forum.
That is where you come in.
Please send me as many examples as you can. For each example, I need a statement of the question that was addressed, and links to posts that provided good answers to the question.
You can either post them as replies to this question, or send them to me, directly, at art297@rogers.com.
Thanks in advance,
Art
Other than a response from LinLin, I haven't received ANY other responses. However, I just discovered that art297@rogers.com was blocking most email addresses. I think the problem has been resoved but, just to be sure, please send your links to atabachneck@gmail.com
TIA,
Art
Hi. Arthur.T
I think you can use a software like Offline Explorer to download a entire forum, and then use filename + url to extract the information you want. But anyway, I have no time to do such a job yet.
Good Luck.

: This one can't be done automatically without adding bias to the task. TextMiner's algorithm can statistically identify clusters of documents by itself, but the clustering can be enhanced with models that can be obtained from Content Categorization Studio. Those models, in turn, are developed by stipulating a category (i.e., a question like "how can I obtain the previous and next record") and running the program using up to 20 documents/posts/blog entries that experts have identified as representing a correct answer to the question.
For this purpose, all SAS users are experts
What I'm looking for from SAS users, is simply a question and a link to a post/web page/blog entry/paper that provides a correct answer to the question. Obviously, the less noise included in the link the better (e.g., the full SAS reference manual would NOT be as good of a source as a post that specifically provides a direct answer to the question).
So, what I'm looking from experts like you, a list of questions (one or more) and, for each question, a link that provides an answer to the question.
Oh. That is not a good job.
Not fun . Sorry!
Hi Art,
I am repeating here what I have posted in EG forum in response to your querry regarding the "SAS Posts Mining Project".
Please find some inputs from me. These are some of the examples that I have enormously benefitted from this forum.
Thank you

Note: When you go to the real posting, you might see the phrase “this question not answered” but it has been answered.
Tom's second answer posted on May 17, 2012 12:25 PM is the one which I choose for #8.
Thanks
