hi!
i'm still working on opinion mining but i have few problems.
i have watched the videos from vancouverdata.btw,i found them really helpfull,thanks neil !
First of all,the language i use is greek so i want to create a text for the operator: Filter Stopword.Does anyone know how the text should be like? I've created a text like this: "word1|word2...."but unfortunately it is not recognized. Any idea, please?
Also, there is not a stem operator for my language.How can i create one as it seems to be very important?
Apart from these problems, i have followed the method which is showed in the 5th part of the video series but i also have a problem. The operator naive bayes : "cannot check whether input example set has special attribute "label""
What about this?Should i specify a label or an attribute in the file i use?Specifically, i use an excel file instead of database which is used in the video.
Sorry for the long post.
I'm looking forward to your answers and your help!!

Filter Stopwords by Dictionary allows you to  create your own stoplist - it reads from a file that you create.

You can try using regular expressions to create a basic stemmer if the endings of Greek words are consistent for cases and gender.

Here is a simple classifer you can adapt:

Remove the N-Gram operator and change input to Excel.  The column that contains the opinion should be set as Label in the Set Role operator.

create an ascii file with txt  or  csv extension
sample of the file data structure:

attrib1,attrib2,attrib3
apple,monkey,brick
orange,monkey,stick
