Association Rule Creator - PDF files - Memory limitations

rashidaziz411

Hi,

I am newbie here. Let me give you an overview of what I am doing.

I am processing PDF files (generally trend reports) and want to create association rule for them. As I saw a tutorial, where someone converted pdfs into txt files in order to process it. I converted thoese PDF's online to text files and tried to excute them. I did it like this way: 

 

First, I didn't got any association rule in a result.

Then I tried to play around with the parameters of text processing, changing "PruneMethod" absoulte to percental or degree, but I got memory error, even though I have around 450GB free space. And those converted PDF files are only 7. 

 

Please guide me how to get association rules.

 

Kind Regards,

Rashid

Hi again @rashidaziz411,

 

I must admit that I am a little lost : By testing the first version of the process (the process that works with .TXT files),

with your 7 .txt files, a dataset with more 7500 attributes is generated .... and the process has .......no problem to generate

the association rules......(the calculation of the association rules is instantaneous !).

I can't explain this behavior.

 

In conclusion, I would say, that, as palliative solution, you can convert all your PDF files into TXT files...

 

Regards,
