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
