Strengthen your programming skills with tips and techniques from the experts
Dynamic programming is a powerful technique to implement algorithms, and is often used to solve complex computational problems. This article shows how to use PROC FCMP to implement the "edit distance" algorithm.
Data in the cloud makes it easily accessible, and can help businesses run more smoothly. SAS Viya runs its calculations on Cloud Analytics Service (CAS). David Shannon of Amadeus Software spoke at SAS Global Forum 2018 on his paper, Come On, Baby, Light my SAS Viya: Programming for CAS.
SAS Viya has opened an entirely new set of capabilities, allowing SAS to analyze on cloud technology in real-time. One of the best new features of SAS Viya is its ability to pair with open source platforms, allowing developers the freedom of language and implementation to integrate with the power
SAS Visual Analytics includes text parsing actions that can help tokenize sentences, and SAS Visual Text Analytics provides even better, more sophisticated methods. This article contains code samples and cites papers for more details.
Getting started with SAS Viya and RStudio -- making the connection, and submitting my first commands via CAS actions.
Which character variables have the highest frequency count? You can easily determine this using a variety of procedures that calculate frequency count. For example, the FREQ Procedure or the MEANS Procedure. This blog post illustrates this process through two examples.
See how to sample unstructured (text) data using SAS Viya and CAS actions. This post includes complete code to cluster the text documents via k-means, and treats the cluster memberships as strata for analysis.
SAS batch jobs can generate many log files that accumulate over time. In this post, we present a SAS program that cleans up old log files on your system.
Word Mover's Distance (WMD) is a distance metric used to measure the dissimilarity between two documents, and its application in text analytics was introduced by a research group from Washington University in 2015. The group's paper, From Word Embeddings To Document Distances, was published on the 32nd International Conference on Machine
SAS Visual Text Analytics provides dictionary-based and non-domain-specific tokenization functionality for Chinese documents, however sometimes you still want to get N-gram tokens. This can be especially helpful when the documents are domain-specific and most of the tokens are not included into the SAS-provided Chinese dictionary. What is an N-gram? An
