Creating Text Analytics applications

The Text Analytics InfoSphere® BigInsights™ Tools for Eclipse helps you analyze your documents, view the results in different formats, discover patterns in the content, and investigate the lineage of your results.

Procedure

  1. Create a BigInsights project to contain your Text Analytics application files.
  2. Create one or more AQL files to contain the key code of your applications (extractors).
  3. Write your AQL code by using the AQL Reference.
  4. Identify the documents that you want to analyze, and import the documents.
  5. To identify the location of the AQL and other application files, set the project properties.
  6. To define one or more sets of circumstances under which your application runs, create one or more launch configurations. For example, you might want to analyze different data collections.
  7. View the analysis.
  8. To help you debug complex extractors, determine the lineage of results.
  9. To improve the processing of your extractors, measure the throughput of extractors and identify potential performance bottlenecks.
  10. To analyze the text in InfoSphere BigInsights cluster nodes, deploy your extractor.
