SAS® Text Miner

Extract information from a collection of text documents and uncover the themes and concepts that are concealed in them. SAS Text Miner enables you to combine quantitative variables with unstructured text and thereby incorporate text mining with other traditional data mining techniques.

SAS Text Miner is a component of SAS® Enterprise Miner. SAS Enterprise Miner must be installed on the same machine.

SAS High-Performance Text Mining runs on a computer grid or a single computer system with multiple CPUs. Text algorithms are multi-threaded and process in-memory, which increases responsiveness and concurrency, reducing I/O burden. It is accessible as nodes within the SAS High-Performance Data Mining environment or as two procedures PROC HPTMINE and PROC HPTMSCORE.

The most recent release is SAS Text Miner 15.3.
