title: Text to Predict Numbers
body: <p>I've got a dataset (~5.5k) of posts with their text and how many &quot;likes&quot; each post got. I'm looking for an algorithm that'll use the text to predict the number of likes a post will get.</p>
  <p>I'm thinking of using the Apriori algorithm, but I've only seen it used in cases where we've got something like a shopping list; [A, B] -&gt; C and so on.</p>
  <p>We don't need to predict an exact number, it is fine if the posts are arranged into classes based on their number of likes, and each post's class is predicted.</p>
  <p>What algorithm should I use? I'm using Rapidminer.</p>
