Text Mining: A Comprehensive Survey

Text mining sometimes also referred to as Text analytics is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology that extracts meaningful quantitative and functional/workable data from natural language text. Text mining is the discovery by computer of new previously unknown information, by automatically extracting hidden information from different written resources to evolve into semistructured data. This involves using various techniques that vary depending on the application need, efficiency and performance. This paper will introduce the techniques involved in text mining and also discuss its applications and issues.
