SAS Text Miner provides tools that enable you to extract information from a collection of text documents and uncover the themes and concepts that are concealed in them. In addition, you can 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.

The most current release is SAS Text Miner 13.1.

What's New in SAS Text Miner 13.1

SAS Text Miner 13.1 includes a new node, the Text Profile node, as well as enhancements to node performance and results.

New Text Profile Node
The Text Profile node enables you to profile a target variable using terms found in the documents. As a special case of this, a target time variable can be used to display how terms change over time. For more information about the Text Profile node, see Overview of the Text Profile Node in the SAS Text Miner Help.

Enhancements to Text Mining Nodes
Text Parsing node contains a new Select Languages property, which enables you to specify the languages to keep in the document collection. The results for the Text Topic node contain a new Terms table, and a new Topic Terms matrix graph. The Terms table shows terms and their weights for each topic, and the Topic Terms matrix graph shows the topic values across terms. For more information about the Text Parsing node, see Overview of the Text Parsing Node in the SAS Text Miner Help. For more information about the Text Topic node, see Overview of the Text Topic Node in the SAS Text Miner Help.
