Please consider the following sample:
library(RXKCD)
library(tm)
library(wordcloud)
scores = c(2, 7, 5, 4, 4, 6, 8)
feedback = c("Cant connect",
"Excellent Service but i had trouble with login",
"Need more locations",
"Trouble with connection",
"Cant connect",
"Login issues",
"You need more locations")
df = data.frame(scores, feedback)
my.corpus <- Corpus(DataframeSource(data.frame(df[])))
#my.corpus <- tm_map(my.corpus, tolower)
my.corpus <- tm_map(my.corpus, content_transformer(tolower))
tdm <- TermDocumentMatrix(my.corpus)
m <- as.matrix(tdm)
v <- sort(rowSums(m),decreasing=TRUE)
corpus <- tm_map(corpus, content_transformer(tolower))
d <- data.frame(word = names(v),freq=v) #---some more intelligent means of counting phrases here?
From this data set I will be creating a word cloud (the mechanics of which I have worked out already).
Using this example, I am looking to pre-process the data such as that rather than single words like 'Cant' and 'locations' appearing largest, phrases like 'Cant connect' and 'more locations' would appear largest. In other words, I am looking for a way to more intelligently count the frequency of multi-word strings rather than single words alone. Is there a method of using natural language processing (or otherwise) to count frequencies of meaningful phrases rather than single words?
