Text Mining and Its Applications to Intelligence, CRM and Knowledge Management

Text Mining is an interdisciplinary field bringing together techniques from data mining, linguistics, machine learning, information retrieval, pattern recognition, statistics, databases, and visualization to address the issue of quickly extracting information from large databases. This book has been structured as a self-teaching guide and has been written as a result of the authors' experiences in participating in several large-scale text mining projects.It can be used as a guide for system integrators, and designers of text mining systems, but especially for business analysts and consultants who wish to apply the powerful tools of this technology to real situations. The authors assume readers have little or no previous knowledge about mathematics or linguistics and the book will, therefore, also be a useful resource for graduate students in business and intelligence, and undergraduates in computer science.
