Different opinions

How can we combine the different –

sometimes contradicting – opinions?

The goal of our research is

to develop a method that helps

aggregate the different predictions

Development Pilot testing Evaluation

Method of analysis: text mining

• Selection of sources (CNN, PCWorld, Technocrati, Deloitte, USAToday, Sentersix) Text elicitation

• Splitting text into a sequence of words Tokineze text

• Unify words Transform cases

• Removing common words Filter Stopwords

• Creating terms, as a series of consecutive words

• Max length: 3 Generate n-Grams

• Filter words on lenght (min. 2 letters) Further filtering

• Overlapping on words and n-Grams Filter of possible overlappings

• Using visualisation tools (word cloud, scatter plot) Visualisation
