Abstract

With the massive amount of knowledge recorded in unstructured textual form, we need automated methods that can extract and manage it. Text mining is a relatively new area of research used to extract automatically nuggets of information hidden in text and to present the distilled knowledge to users in a concise and meaningful manner. The National Centre for Text Mining (located at the School of Computer Science, The University of Manchester) has developed a number of text mining services to support a wide variety of users who are struggling to locate useful information from big textual data for their needs. Join this session with Professor Sophia Ananiadou and find out how computers can help us digest large amount of information!
