tm_map
を使用してみました。次のエラーが発生しました。どうすればこれを回避できますか?
require(tm)
byword<-tm_map(byword, tolower)
Error in UseMethod("tm_map", x) :
no applicable method for 'tm_map' applied to an object of class "character"
ベースR関数tolower()
を使用します。
tolower(c("THE quick BROWN fox"))
# [1] "the quick brown fox"
私の コメント をより詳細な答えに拡大する:tolower
オブジェクトを台無しにしないようにcontent_transformer
の内側にVCorpus
をラップする必要があります:
> library(tm)
> data('crude')
> crude[[1]]$content

myCorpus <- Corpus(VectorSource(byword))
myCorpus <- tm_map(myCorpus , tolower)
print(myCorpus[[1]])
この方法でtolowerを使用すると、望ましくない副作用があります。後でコーパスから用語ドキュメントマトリックスを作成しようとすると、失敗します。これは、tmの最近の変更がtolowerの戻り型を処理できないためです。代わりに、次を使用します。
myCorpus <- tm_map(myCorpus, PlainTextDocument)
