Field selection.

Select which text fields you want to mine.

Top words

The Top Words algorithm extracts the most popular words from the selected fields. The popularity of a word is determined by the number of occurrences in a text cell. Short words such as "the", "and" and "or" are ignored. 

Word count

The Word count algorithm counts the number of words and the number of unique words in a text cell.

Sentiment

The Sentiment algorithm attempts to determine the sentiment of the text. Sentiment is determined by counting the number of positive and negative words and calculating an overall score. A positive score indicates a positive sentiment whilst a negative score indicates a negative sentiment. The higher the score, the higher the sentiment.
