What's New in SAS Sentiment Analysis Studio 1.3

The Set test configuration and Search rules buttons appear in the standard toolbar.

Polarity Keywords and Product tabs are merged into the Rule tab.

The Rule pane displays the Search Result, Syntax Errors, and Rule Evaluation Result tabs.

The Project Settings Dialog dialog box replaces the Preferences Wizard. You can specify the settings for your rule-based and statistical models separately.

Positive and negative rules are now weighted the same. By default, the Relative weight of positive rules in rule-based model is set to 100% in the Set Test Configuration window.

In-place editing enables you to edit your rules in the Body field using the operations that are available in a drop-down menu.

Use the Search Rules dialog box to locate matching terms in your rules. See the results in the Search Result pane in the Rule pane.

Syntax checking occurs automatically when you either edit a rule or build a model.

Specify the coreference operator ( _ref ) for pronoun resolution. In other words, when a pronoun or another word refers to the canonical form for a term, return the canonical form.

Define rules that limit matches to the specified XML fields.

Use the Rule Editor window to edit your rules in tree format. Other editing operations are also available in menu format when you right-click on a rule.

Specify and reference intermediate entities (concepts) in your rules. Intermediate concepts can be referenced by other concepts to shorten the rule-writing process. This feature enables you to write once and reference multiple times.

Append an at sign ( @ ) to your rules to make morphological expansion possible.

Use the Set Test Configuration dialog box to specify the model settings for the testing operation.
