Text Mining/Data Mining

« Back to Glossary Index

The process of extracting a particular type of information, usually from an object which is larger than human perception alone is capable of processing. For example, one might want to find instances of passive voice — or a particular phrase pattern — in a novel, or collection of novels by one author. ManyEyes (see definition above) is one of the tools that can help you do this.
