Notes de l'éditeur

  1. This is a screen shot of the CecilTheLion data that Diana Moseman’s process captures. This data comes in as JSON formatted. We zip up all the data files and transfer them to VIDIA for conversion to a CSV. This data can be processed on VIDIA using tools like Rapid Miner or R. Or we can transfer the CSV back to our local computer and process it using Modeler. Or we can upload this data into Watson for analysis.
  2. This is that same data set as show in the previous slide processed with Rapid Miner on VIDIA. The graph shows word counts for any word that appears more than 6000 times in the data set (pruning). The data were tokenized, stop words were removed as well has some other noise like “http” of URLs.
  3. This is a screen capture of an IBM Watson generated dataset on Cecil the Lion. It shows how many occurrences of the topic appeared each day between the Dates selected (see above in the Dates). There is some discrepancy here between what is being show and what is selected that has to be investigated. This often happens and is a good process for students to wrestle with.
  4. This is a more sophisticated analysis of two concepts plotted together to see if any time relationships exist. Again, note that anomaly in the data near the right most part of the X axis. At first glance one would suspect a data error of some type. This would have to be investigated and explained. Note how some of the high volume days seem related.
