Text Mining Summary

Text Mining: Classification, Clustering, and Applications by Ashok N. Srivastava (Verizon, California, USA)

The Definitive Resource on Text Mining Theory and Applications from Foremost Researchers in the Field

Giving a broad perspective of the field from numerous vantage points, Text Mining: Classification, Clustering, and Applications focuses on statistical methods for text mining and analysis. It examines methods to automatically cluster and classify text documents and applies these methods in a variety of areas, including adaptive information filtering, information distillation, and text search.

The book begins with chapters on the classification of documents into predefined categories. It presents state-of-the-art algorithms and their use in practice. The next chapters describe novel methods for clustering documents into groups that are not predefined. These methods seek to automatically determine topical structures that may exist in a document corpus. The book concludes by discussing various text mining applications that have significant implications for future research and industrial use.

There is no doubt that text mining will continue to play a critical role in the development of future information systems and advances in research will be instrumental to their success. This book captures the technical depth and immense practical potential of text mining, guiding readers to a sound appreciation of this burgeoning field.

Text Mining Reviews

... a very good overview of some state-of-the-art capabilities. ... In summary, the book provides several algorithms for text mining classification, clustering, and applications, including both mathematical background and experimental observations. For readers interested in specific areas, there are several useful references. Researchers can use this book to learn more about today's field of text mining.
-Computing Reviews, March 2010

... Not long ago people were expressing concern about the deluge of information with which we were being faced. Tools such as those described in this book present one way in which we might cope with this deluge. The separate contributions are well written, and there does seem to be a consistency which can only have arisen from sound editorial work ... . This would be a perfect volume to give a new Ph.D. student about to start work on statistical and data mining methods of text analysis, and perhaps casting about for a particular area of methodology on which to focus, or for a particular application area to address. It provides a first-class overview of the scope of an area which can only grow in importance in the coming years.
-David J. Hand, International Statistical Review, 2010

This book is a worthy contribution to the field of text mining. By focusing on classification (rather than exhaustively covering extraction, summarization, and other tasks), it achieves the right balance of coherence and comprehensiveness. It collects papers by the leading authors in the field, who employ and explain a variety of techniques-kernel methods, link analysis, latent Dirichlet allocation, non-negative matrix factorization, and others. Together the papers bring unity and clarity to a disjointed and sometimes perplexing field and serve as the perfect introduction for an advanced student.
-Peter Norvig, Director of Research, Google, Inc., Mountain View, California, USA

This is a state-of-the-art, outstanding collection of overviews on text mining by a group of leading researchers in the field. The book meets an imminent need for an up-to-date overview of this exciting, dynamic research frontier and may serve as an excellent textbook on text mining for graduate students and researchers in the field as well.
