Modeler Premium includes IBM SPSS Modeler Text Analytics.
IBM SPSS Modeler Text Analytics
SPSS Modeler Text Analytics offers powerful text analytic capabilities, which use advanced linguistic
technologies and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to rapidly process a large variety of unstructured
text data and, from this text, extract and organize the key concepts. Furthermore, SPSS Modeler Text
Analytics can group these concepts into categories.
Around 80% of data held within an organization is in the form of text documents—for example, reports,
Web pages, e-mails, and call center notes. Text is a key factor in enabling an organization to gain
a better understanding of their customers’ behavior. A system that incorporates NLP can intelligently
extract concepts, including compound phrases. Moreover, knowledge of the underlying language allows
classication of terms into related groups, such as products, organizations, or people, using meaning and
context. As a result, you can quickly determine the relevance of the information to your needs. These
extracted concepts and categories can be combined with existing structured data, such as demographics,
and applied to modeling by using SPSS Modeler and its full suite of data mining tools to yield better and
more-focused decisions.
Linguistic systems are knowledge sensitive—the more information contained in their dictionaries, the
higher the quality of the results. SPSS Modeler Text Analytics is delivered with a set of linguistic
resources, such as dictionaries for terms and synonyms, libraries, and templates. This product further
allows you to develop and rene these linguistic resources to your context. Fine-tuning of the linguistic
resources is often an iterative process and is necessary for accurate concept retrieval and categorization.
Custom templates, libraries, and dictionaries for specic domains, such as CRM and genomics, are also
included.

Client
System requirements
General requirements
IBM SPSS Modeler Premium must be installed on a system where SPSS Modeler Client is already
installed.
To view the system requirements, go to https://www.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity/
softwareReqsForProduct.html.
SPSS Modeler Text Analytics requirements
Upgrading from earlier versions. Before installing SPSS Modeler Text Analytics version 18.4.0 you
should save and export any TAPs, templates, and libraries from your current version that you want to use
in the new version. We recommend that you save these les to a directory that will not get deleted or
overwritten when you install the latest version.
After you install the latest version of SPSS Modeler Text Analytics you can load the saved TAP le, add any
saved libraries, or import and load any saved templates to use them in the latest version.
Installing
Important: To install, you must be logged on to your computer with administrator privileges.
Installing from a downloaded le
Windows XP
1. Double-click the le that you downloaded and extract all the les to some location on your computer.
2. Using Windows Explorer, browse to the location where you extracted the les and doble-click
setup.exe.
3. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
Windows Vista and later
Note: You must run the installer as administrator:
1. Double-click the le that you downloaded and extract all the les to some location on your computer.
2. Using Windows Explorer, browse to the location where you extracted the les.
3. Right-click setup.exe and choose Run as Administrator.
4. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
Installing from a network location

2. Right-click setup.exe and choose Run as Administrator.
3. On the autoplay menu, click Install IBM SPSS Modeler Premium.
4. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
Silent installation
Silent mode enables an installation to run on its own without any interaction; installing silently can free
system administrators from the task of monitoring each installation and providing input to prompts and
dialog boxes. This method is especially useful when you are installing SPSS Modeler Premium on a
number of different computers that have identical hardware.
Note: You must have administrator privileges to be able to run silent installations.
Windows - silent installation
You can complete a silent installation on Windows systems by using Microsoft Installer (MSI). Use
msiexec.exe to install the MSI package.
The following options can be used:
Table 1. Silent installation options
Option Description
/i Species that the program is to install the product.
/l*v Species verbose logging. For example, this form of log can be useful if you need to
troubleshoot an installation.
/qn Runs the installation without running the external user interface sequence.
/s Species silent mode.
/v Species that the Setup Program passes the parameter string to the call it makes to
the MSI executable le (msiexec.exe). The following syntax requirements apply if
you use this option:
• You must place a backslash (\) in front of any quotation marks (" ") that are within
existing quotation marks.
• Do not include a space between the /v option and its arguments.
• Multiple parameters that are entered with the /v option must be separated with a
space.
• To create a log le, specify the directory and le name at the end of the command.
The directory must exist before you start the silent installation.
/x Species that the program is to uninstall the product.
The following text shows an example of the MSI command:
c:\>msiexec.exe /i ModelerPremium64.msi /qn /l*v
c:\temp\Modeler_Silent_Install.log
