Make it easy to modify stop word lists #7

Closed AmeliaMN closed 10 years ago

E.g., change from "english" to "SMART" and/or modify the list itself (pass a vector of words that you want removed from stopword list or create your own stopword list).

@AmeliaMN Do we make changes to the ProcessText.R to solve this?

AmeliaMN commented 10 years ago

This is one of the more amorphous tasks... I don't have a great idea of how to do it. Maybe we need to split ProcessText into two functions, one that does all the other processing and one that does stop words? That would make it more clear that the new parameter (called something like "list" maybe) referred specifically to stop words. E.g. RemoveWords(text, list="english") RemoveWords(text, list="SMART") RemoveWords(text, list=c("the", "a", "my"))

Rename the 'RemoveWords' function (which I haven't pushed yet, sorry Amelia) to UpdateStopwords.
