Text mining, also known as intelligent text analysis, text data mining , unstructured data management, or knowledge-discovery in text (KDT), refers generally to the process of extracting interesting and non-trivial information and knowledge (usually converted to metadata elements) from unstructured text (i.e. free text) stored in electronic form. This can be achieved either through added markup in xml, Atom or RDF formats or though the analysis of common phraseologies indicating certain relationships.

History


Labour-intensive manual text-mining approaches first surfaced in the mid-1980s, but technological advances have enabled the field to advance swiftly during the past decade. Text mining is an interdisciplinary field which draws on information retrieval, data mining, machine learning, statistics, and computational linguistics. As most information (over 80%) is currently stored as text, text mining is believed to have a high commercial potential value.

Applications


Recently, text mining has been receiving attention in many areas, most notably in the security, commercial, and academic fields.
