I am trying to remove german stop-words from a cell array. Below is the respective code:

if removeStopWords == 1
stop_words = cellstr(stopWords('Language','de'));
split1 = regexp(chatM, '\s','Split');
split1 = cellfun(@(x)strjoin(x), split1, 'Uni', 0);
split1 = cellfun(@(x)convertStringsToChars(x), split1, 'Uni', 0);
chatM = strjoin(split1(~ismember(split1, stop_words)), ' ');
end

I applied a solution from a simillar question on the forum, but it did not work for me properly and I do not understand why.

The problem is, that it removes patterns and not words: imagine you want to remove "Ok" from "Ok Okay OOk". The result will be "ay O", but I want to get "Okay OOk".

By the way, I also tried removeStopWords(str), but the result was the same. In the end I want to count the occurrence of "relevant" words, so I need to remove stop words at first.

Do you have the text analytics toolbox? You must because you are using stopWords. Try using the removeStopWords function.

Thanks, generally it solved my problem. But recently I found out that matlab supports parallel computing.

Is there a way to apply it for your sollution? That would be really great, because my original table has like 90k lines..

I'm not familiar with the requirements of parallel computing. Generally, if the process can be split into pieces without affecting the results (results of each piece are independent of the results of the other pieces), then it technically should be able to be parallelized. If you look at the product requirements for text analytics, you can see that the Parallel Computing Toolbox is recommended, suggesting that it is supported.

Do you have access to the Parallel Computing toolbox? Simplest would be to test. Note that there is an initial load time as the parallel workers start up (~30 seconds?). Test with and without parallelization. You may find it quicker to process the text without it..
