Techniques, Applications and Challenging Issue in Text Mining
Text mining is a very exciting research area as it tries to discover knowledge from unstructured texts. These texts can be found on a desktop, intranets and the internet. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of text mining in the contexts of its techniques, application domains and the most challenging issue. The focus is given on fundamentals methods of text mining which include natural language possessing and information extraction. This paper also gives a short review on domains which have employed text mining. The challenging issue in text mining which is caused by the complexity in a natural language is also addressed in this paper.
Keywords: text mining, information extraction, natural language processing, ambiguity
