Term Options Management Windows
Stop word, recode, phrase, and stem exception information can be specified for many different scopes. They can be stored in the following locations: the Text Explorer user library (User scope), the current project, a column property for the analysis column (Column scope), or in a platform script (Local scope). You can save the local specifications and local exceptions for a specific instance of Text Explorer by saving the script for the Text Explorer report.
The Term Options management windows are four similar windows that enable you to manage the collections of stop words, recodes, phrases, and stem exceptions. Figure 12.9 shows the Manage Stop Words window. The Manage Phrases and Manage Stem Exceptions are identical to the Manage Stop Words window. The Manage Recodes window differs slightly. See Manage Recodes.
Figure 12.9 Manage Stop Words Window
Manage Stop Words
The Manage Stop Words window contains multiple lists of stop words that represent the different scopes (or locations) of specified stop words. Below each list is a text edit box and an add button. These controls enable you to add custom stop words to each scope. You can move stop words from one scope to another by dragging them. You can copy and paste items from one list to another list. Two buttons at the bottom of the window move the selected items from one scope to the next, either left or right. The X button removes the selected items from their current scope. You can edit existing items in the lists by double-clicking on an item and changing the text.
Language
Specifies the list of built-in stop words and to which language the user library selections are saved. If you select Apply Items for Language, the changes are saved to the main user library. The Language setting applies only to the Built-in, User, and Project scopes.
Built-in (Locked)
Lists the built-in list of stop words for the specified language. You can exclude a built-in stop word by placing it in the Local Exceptions list.
User
Lists the stop words in the user library for the specified language.
Project
(Available only when Text Explorer is launched within a project.) Lists the stop words in the current project for the specified language.
Column
Lists the stop words in the “Stop Words” column property for the text column.
Local
Lists the stop words in the local scope. You can specify them when Text Explorer is launched via JSL. These stop words are used only in the current Text Explorer platform report.
Local Exceptions
Lists words that are not treated as stop words in the current Text Explorer platform. You can specify them when Text Explorer is launched via JSL. The words listed in Local Exceptions override words listed in all of the other scopes.
Import
Enables you to import stop words from a text file. The stop words are copied to the clipboard. You can paste them into any of the lists other than Built-in.
Export
Enables you to export stop words to the clipboard or to a text file. An Export window appears that enables you to select the scopes for which you would like to export stop words and the location of the export.
The user library files are located in a TextExplorer directory. The location of this directory is based on your computer’s operating system:
• Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SAS\JMP\TextExplorer\<lang>\
• macOS: /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/JMP/TextExplorer/<lang>/
The main user library files are located in the TextExplorer directory itself. These files are not language-specific.
When you click OK, changes to the User, Project, and Column lists are saved to the user library, the project, and the column properties, respectively. Anything specified in the Local and Local Exceptions lists is saved only when you save the script of the Text Explorer report.
If you are saving stop words to the user library, the file is named stopwords.txt. If you are saving to a column property, the property is called “Stop Words”.
Manage Recodes
The Manage Recodes window differs slightly from the Manage Stop Words window. Instead of one text edit box below each list, there are two text edit boxes. The old value (specified in the top box) is recoded to the new value (specified in the bottom box).
If you are saving recodes to the user library, the file is named recodes.txt. If you are saving to a column property, the property is called “Recodes”.
Manage Phrases
If you are saving phrases to the user library, the file is named phrases.txt. If you are saving to a column property, the property is called “Phrases”.
Manage Stem Exceptions
If you are saving stem exceptions to the user library, the file is named stemExceptions.txt. If you are saving to a column property, the property is called “Stem Exceptions”.
Note: The Local Exceptions list in the Manage Stem Exceptions window lists stem exceptions that are excluded from the stem exception list. The words in this list are involved in the stemming operation.
Manage Negation Terms
The Manage Negation Terms window is available in the Sentiment Analysis report. See Sentiment Analysis.
If you are saving negation terms to the user library, the file is named negations.txt. If you are saving to a column property, the property is called “Negation Terms”.
Note: Terms that appear in the Local or Local Exceptions lists apply only to the current Sentiment Analysis report.
Manage Intensifier Terms
The Manage Intensifier Terms window, which is available in the Sentiment Analysis report, differs slightly from the Manage Stop Words window. In addition to the text edit box below each list, there is a Multiplier control. The Multiplier control enables you specify an intensification multiplier for a term when you add it to the set of intensifier terms. See Sentiment Analysis.
If you are saving intensifier terms to the user library, the file is named intensifiers.txt. If you are saving to a column property, the property is called “Intensifier Terms”.
Note: Terms that appear in the Local or Local Exceptions lists apply only to the current Sentiment Analysis report.
Manage Sentiment Terms
The Manage Sentiment Terms window, which is available in the Sentiment Analysis report, differs slightly from the Manage Stop Words window. In addition to the text edit box below each list, there is a Score control. The Score control enables you specify a sentiment score for a term when you add it to the set of sentiment terms. See Sentiment Analysis.
If you are saving sentiment terms to the user library, the file is named sentiments.txt. If you are saving to a column property, the property is called “Sentiment Terms”.
Note: Terms that appear in the Local or Local Exceptions lists apply only to the current Sentiment Analysis report.
