7. Method of analysis: text mining
Text elicitation • Selection of sources (CNN, PCWorld, Technocrati, Deloitte, USAToday, Sentersix)
Tokineze text • Splitting text into a sequence of words
Transform cases • Unify words
Filter Stopwords • Removing common words
• Creating terms, as a series of consecutive words
Generate n-Grams • Max length: 3
Further filtering • Filter words on lenght (min. 2 letters)
Filter of possible overlappings • Overlapping on words and n-Grams
Visualisation • Using visualisation tools (word cloud, scatter plot)
