Intorduction

Text mining is the process to discover knowledge (or information, patterns) from text data, which are unstructured or semi-structured, by kinds of transformation of a text.
Researchers use text mining tasks such as:

  • Textual analytics
  • Entity extraction
  • Topic modelling
  • Natural Language processing

Text analysis
