This course describes the functionality of SAS Contextual Analysis, a single web application that brings together the techniques used in text mining, categorization, contextual extraction, and sentiment identification. SAS Contextual Analysis helps you derive key business insight from unstructured text. It uses a combination of machine learning, linguistic, and subject matter expertise to uncover trends and themes in your data--insights that otherwise would have stayed hidden but can now give you an in-depth understanding of your business.
