can DataRobot handle text data?

Hi Dave,

Short answer: absolutely! And we automatically combine that text data with other numerics or categoricals. 

Longer answer: we handle text with N-gram, TF-IDF, and FastText (Word2Vec) techniques. We also have several proprietary techniques and are incorporating deep learning. As an advanced user you can tune our text processing to include / exclude stop words, punctuation, apply lemming / stemming, etc. We even handle multiple languages. 

Regards,

Duncan
