{"product_id":"9783540202387","title":"Text Mining and its Applications","description":"The world of text mining is simultaneously a minefield and a gold mine. It is an exciting application field and an area of scientific research that is currently under rapid development. It uses techniques from well-established scientific fields (e.g. data mining, machine learning, information retrieval, natural language processing, case­ based reasoning, statistics and knowledge management) in an effort to help people gain insight, understand and interpret large quantities of (usually) semi-structured and unstructured data. Despite the advances made during the last few years, many issues remain umesolved. Proper co-ordination activities, dissemination of current trends and standardisation of the procedures have been identified, as key needs. There are many questions still unanswered, especially to the potential users; what is the scope of Text Mining, who uses it and for what purpose, what constitutes the leading trends in the field of Text Mining -especially in relation to IT- and whether there still remain areas to be covered.","brand":"Spiros Sirmakessis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47590403277118,"sku":"9783540202387","price":8059.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9783540202387.jpg?v=1707721370","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9783540202387","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
