Information Extraction - TextVisualizer Problem

jcurry1

Hi Folks,

I have an issue with the TextVisualizer component that is part of the Information Extraction plugin. When I try and run any of the sample processes for the plugin (downloadable from link below) that use the TextVisualiser I get an error such as below.

Anyone familiar with the Information Extraction plugin around to help? I am using the latest RapidMiner: 5.2.008 and the latest Information Extraction plugin on SourceForge. The other Information Extraction components seem to work fine so far.

Hello All,

here the same problem, unfortunately...
I use the same examples.

Jan 6, 2013 8:57:21 PM INFO: Process //VoorbeeldenInformationExtractionPlugin/1_Read-Tokenize-Visualize starts
Jan 6, 2013 8:57:21 PM INFO: Loading initial data.

Jan 6, 2013 8:57:22 PM WARNING: Error creating renderer: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.rapidminer.operator.visualization.TextVisualizer cannot be cast to com.rapidminer.operator.visualization.TextVisualizer

Can anybody help? I'm very interested in getting the plugin going correctly...

Regards,
Kees.

I am waiting to hear back from Mr. Jungerman, the creator of the component when he finds some time to look at the issue.. In the meantime, he mentioned that it may work successfully with an older version of RapidMiner, the ones built from the Vega build. So perhaps it is worth going back... Not sure which RapidMiner release matches up with that - maybe one of the 4.x releases available below. I will try that.

If anyone has success with a specific older version, please update this thread with the version number.

Vega was 5.0.

Here is how to set up the Information Extraction plugin for RapidMiner correctly and avoid the problems and the reported CCE.
Note that the IE plugin on the marketplace is outdated and should not be used; Instead, you need to manually install the plugin.
I can confirm this procedure works for RM 6.2, and I suppose it should also for the 5.x series, given the plugin has not been updated since.

1. Install the IE plugin jar; download it from:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ieplugin4rm/

Then, copy the jar to $RAPIDMINER_HOME/lib/plugins
where $RAPIDMINER_HOME is the base directory where RapidMiner itself is installed.

2. Download the examples with

svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/ieplugin4rm/code/informationextractionplugin_Vega/trunk/informationExtraction_Vega/samples/

Then, install them by placing them into a repository of yours ("MyRepo"):

cp -r samples ~/.RapidMiner/repositories/MyRepo/IE_samples

Note that you have to first create your own repository within RapidMiner, "MyRepo" does not exist per se!
Open your repository tree (here "MyRepo") in RapidMiner, an you are done!

You can load and run the examples. Note that you might need to fix/set the paths of the text "databases", but this should be trivial.

I am trying to use the information extraction using rapidminer 8, but there is no result. I have searched more to know how to extract certian sentance that includes certain words but no results. Is there any way to do that.

this is the only reference I have found: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.645.7232&rep=rep1&type=pdf

I need help.

Thanks in advance.

hello @ZeiniNahed - so that extension has not been supported in a long time (see here). I would strongly recommend using our very popular text processing extension instead.
