Load a Stop List

A stop list is a table of words that you want to ignore in your text analysis. By eliminating some commonly used words, such as the various forms of the verb “to be,” you can filter out noise from your analysis. SAS Visual Analytics supports text analysis in English and German, and includes stop lists for both languages.
To load a stop list:
  1. Select Toolsthen selectLoad Text Analytics Stop List.
  2. Make changes to the location and library if necessary. Each stop list must be stored in its own metadata folder.
    A table named ENGSTOPL or GRMSTOPL is registered in the location and library that you specified.
  3. Click OK.
SAS Visual Analytics supports one stop list for each SAS LASR Analytic Server. You load the stop list (which is a table) to memory by performing the previous steps. If more than one library is registered for SAS LASR Analytic Server, then you can use any one of them. If you load a stop list more than once or use more than one library, then the server uses the last stop list that was loaded to memory.
