Word Cloud Generator

"Word clouds (also known as text clouds or tag clouds) work in a simple way: the more a specific word appears in a source of textual data (such as a speech, blog post, or database), the bigger and bolder it appears in the word cloud.

A word cloud is a collection, or cluster, of words depicted in different sizes. The bigger and bolder the word appears, the more often it’s mentioned within a given text and the more important it is." as mentioned by Bootlabs.

This project is an open-source word cloud generator that uses the d3 library and the works of Jason Davies found here.

What this project is

This project is a simple word cloud generator so it is easier to generate word clouds based on certain requirements.

More interestingly most of the word cloud generators out there are too tedious to use with their configuration as well as limited options in terms of data cleaning and transformation. This project aims to be

• easy to use for a person with no programming knowledge
• providing simple data transformation and cleaning based on known ways

Stop words

For more information, please read the Wikipedia entry here

Plans are in place to implement, 3 published stop words lists.

• The Snowball list is found here
• The Terrier list is found here
• The Minimal list is found here
• Custom list from the user

Depending on interest, this list will be expanded over time.

Stemming and Lemmatization

Plans are in place to implement 2 stemming methodologies

• Porter Stemming found here
• Lancaster Stemming found here

Lemmatization will also be implemented based on the WordNet found here

Contribution
