The Weka_control statement does not work for me.
With docs<-VCorpus(VectorSource(a))
Get the document term matrices
BigramTokenizer <- function(x) NGramTokenizer(x, Weka_control(min = 2, max = 2))
dtm_unigram <- DocumentTermMatrix(docs, control = list(tokenize="words",
removePunctuation = TRUE,
stopwords = stopwords("english"),
stemming = TRUE))
dtm_bigram <- DocumentTermMatrix(docs, control = list(tokenize = BigramTokenizer,
removePunctuation = TRUE,
stopwords = stopwords("english"),
stemming = TRUE))
inspect(dtm_unigram)
inspect(dtm_bigram),
I get the correct output from dtm_unigram but not dtm_bigram
I have installed RWeka, SnowballC, tm, etc,
In creating dtm_bigram, I get the message
Error in simple_triplet_matrix(i, j, v, nrow = length(terms), ncol = length(corpus), :
'i, j' invalid
If I replace min=2, max=2 with n=2, I don't get the error message, but I don't get the right answer, either.
