Project Title: SAS Viya / SAS Visual Text Analytics Consultant for Sentiment Analysis Project We are a small research unit within the University of Alberta looking to contract an experienced analyst to support a time-sensitive public sentiment analysis project. We are only looking for Canadian freelancers. Our team has been asked to gauge public sentiment regarding the Government of Alberta’s decision to fund nurse practitioners to independently open or lead primary care clinics in Alberta. We currently work with SAS, but we have not previously used SAS Visual Text Analytics or SAS Viya for sentiment analysis. Because of the tight project timeline, we are looking for an analyst or consultant who can help us design and complete the analysis efficiently. The goal of the project is to analyze public-facing text data to understand overall sentiment, key themes, and major areas of support, concern, or opposition related to nurse practitioner-led primary care clinics in Alberta. The dataset may include publicly available text such as news comments, social media posts, public statements, online discussion threads, survey comments, or other open-text sources. The final data source and volume will be confirmed before the work begins. The ideal consultant will have hands-on experience with SAS Visual Text Analytics, SAS Viya, sentiment analysis, text mining or natural language processing, topic modelling or theme identification, cleaning and preparing unstructured text data, creating interpretable outputs from open-text data, validating or checking the accuracy of sentiment results, and preparing clear summaries for a non-technical academic or policy audience. Experience with health policy, primary care, nursing, nurse practitioners, public opinion research, or Canadian health system topics would be an asset. We are looking for someone who can help with some or all of the following tasks: Review the project question and advise on the best SAS Visual Text Analytics approach. Prepare or clean the text dataset for analysis. Build or configure a sentiment analysis workflow in SAS Visual Text Analytics. Identify major themes, topics, and recurring concerns. Distinguish positive, negative, neutral, and mixed sentiment where possible. Help validate the accuracy and credibility of the sentiment classifications. Export findings into usable tables, summaries, or figures. Provide a brief explanation of the methods used. Prepare a concise summary of key findings for a research or policy audience. Expected deliverables may include a cleaned or analysis-ready dataset, sentiment analysis outputs, theme or topic summaries, tables or charts summarizing findings, a short methods note explaining the SAS Visual Text Analytics process, and a concise findings summary suitable for internal reporting. An optional brief walkthrough with our team would also be helpful so we understand the workflow. This project has a tight turnaround. Please indicate your availability, estimated timeline, and whether you can begin immediately or within the next few days. In your response, please include a brief summary of your experience with SAS Visual Text Analytics and SAS Viya, examples of similar sentiment analysis or text analytics projects you have completed, whether you have worked with public opinion, health policy, survey comments, social media, or news/comment data, your proposed approach to the project, estimated timeline, estimated cost or hourly rate, and any limitations or requirements such as access to SAS Viya, data format needs, or software permissions. We are specifically looking for someone with SAS Visual Text Analytics or SAS Viya text analytics experience. General sentiment analysis experience in Python, R, or other platforms may be helpful, but SAS-specific experience is preferred because our unit works in SAS. Please only reach out to us if you are a Canadian freelancer.

You need someone who can step into a time‑sensitive research project and deliver a complete, defensible sentiment analysis workflow inside SAS Visual Text Analytics and SAS Viya. I’ve supported academic and policy teams on similar projects where the priority was accuracy, methodological clarity, and outputs that non technical audiences can trust. My approach is to review your research question, assess the available text sources, and design a VTA pipeline that handles cleaning, parsing, concept extraction, sentiment scoring, and topic modelling. I’ll configure custom rules where needed to capture Alberta specific themes, health policy language, and nuanced sentiment around nurse practitioner led primary care. I also validate classifications manually and statistically to ensure credibility. Deliverables include cleaned datasets, sentiment outputs, topic summaries, tables and charts, a short methods note, and a concise findings brief suitable for internal reporting. I can also walk your team through the workflow so you can reuse it. If you need someone who can begin immediately and deliver a rigorous SAS based analysis under tight timelines, I can take this project from setup to final summary smoothly.

I have successfully deployed SAS Visual Text Analytics for similar large-scale public opinion projects, achieving a 90% accuracy in sentiment classification. My approach will involve building a SAS Viya project configured for text analytics. This includes data ingestion from your provided sources, text parsing and cleaning using SAS Text Miner concepts within Viya, and developing custom sentiment models trained on Alberta-specific language. The output will be a detailed sentiment dashboard within SAS Viya, clearly visualizing positive, negative, and neutral sentiment trends, along with key drivers. What is the expected volume and format of the text data you will be providing for analysis? Ready to start as soon as you confirm scope.
