Text mining is the process of discovering and extracting knowledge from unstructured data. This comprises three main activities:
Information retrieval (IR) to gather relevant texts.
Information extraction (IE) to identify and extract entities, facts and relationships between them.
Data mining to find associations among the pieces of information extracted from many different texts
In short, text mining can help make the implicit information in your documents more explicit, saving you time and money.
