Text Analytics Toolbox

Analyze and model text data

Text Analytics Toolbox™ provides algorithms and visualizations for preprocessing, analyzing, and modeling text data. Models created with the toolbox can be used in applications such as sentiment analysis, predictive maintenance, and topic modeling.

Text Analytics Toolbox includes tools for processing raw text from sources such as equipment logs, news feeds, surveys, operator reports, and social media. You can extract text from popular file formats, preprocess raw text, extract individual words, convert text into numerical representations, and build statistical models.

Using machine learning techniques such as LSA, LDA, and word embeddings, you can find clusters and create features from high-dimensional text datasets. Features created with Text Analytics Toolbox can be combined with features from other data sources to build machine learning models that take advantage of textual, numeric, and other types of data.

Correct spelling in documents

Simplify raw text to work with the most meaningful words.

Simplify raw text (left) to work with the most meaningful words (right).

Filter Stop Words and Normalize Words to Root Form

Prioritize meaningful text data in your analysis by filtering out common words, words that appear too frequently or infrequently, and very long or very short words. Reduce the vocabulary and focus on the broader sense or sentiment of a document by stemming words to their root form or lemmatizing them to their dictionary form.

Remove Stop Words from Documents

Stem or Lemmatize Words

Stemming

Lemmatization

Removing stop words like “a” and “of” from documents.

Extract Linguistic Features

Automatically split raw text into a collection of words using a tokenization algorithm. Add sentence boundaries, part-of-speech details, and other relevant information for context.

Split Text into Words via Tokenization

Add Part-of-Speech Tags to Documents

Named Entity Recognition

Analyze Sentence Structure Using Grammatical Dependency Parsing
