Text MiningText MiningDescription: Text Mining is advanced technology for intelligently exploiting a large collection of unstructured textual data. It is similar to Data Mining in that both deal with large amounts of data and aim at knowledge discovery within that data. Data Mining, however, focuses on discovery within already structured collections — in databases, data warehouses, and other corporate and external repositories. Text Mining, by contrast, concentrates on the ever-increasing flow of text data of all kinds that come to the attention of the knowledge worker. In just dealing with the Web, for example, the average knowledge worker needs tools that help him or her cut through the irrelevant or already known information and focuses their attention on the truly important or novel. Additional sources such as news feed, email, and work product add to the need to intelligently mine textual data. Links:www.textmining.com |
