Word Cloud concepts
- [Instructor] Let's start right off the bat with a use case. An analytical tool that you may have used in the past is the word cloud. You may remember it. Basically, it highlights what words are used with what frequency in a body of text or corpus. The size of the word in the word cloud is based on the number of occurrences of that word in the corpus. The more the occurrences, the bigger the size. Word cloud can also limit the number of words shown to the top and popular ones. A word cloud can also be used to show the popularity of key words visually. One case would be to show the popularity of athletes in a sports league by showing the names of the players in the word cloud. In this particular context, we will be looking at creating a word cloud based on words found in course descriptions. Let's get started with prepping the data so we can make that happen.
