Pragmatic Philosophical Technology For Text Mining: Categories

Modeling the world is a key part of text mining. Modeling is an activity that comes after someone makes a statement like this :  'there are restaurants in the world, let's mine some web data and find out where they all are!" This is because someone else will ask "what is a restaurant?"

Pragmatic Philosophical Technology For Text Mining

In text mining applications, we often work with some form of raw input (web pages, web sites, emails, etc.) and attempt to organize it in terms of the concepts that are mentioned or introduced in the documents.

Mining Tables For Concepts For Navigation

I've been thinking a little about how to make d8taplex more accessible. One of the challenges is that users don't necessarily know what data - or what variables - are available in the million plus time series in the system....

Data mining the intellectual history of the human race with Google Book Search

Harvard's Jean-Baptiste Michel, Erez Lieberman Aiden and colleagues have been analyzing the huge corpus of literature that Google digitized in its Book Search program, and they're uncovering absolutely fascinating information about our cultural lives, the evolution of language, the secret history of the world, censorship and even public health. It's all written up in a (regwalled) paper in Science, "Quantitative Analysis of Culture Using Millions of Digitized Books":

When the team looked at the frequency of individual years, they found a consistent pattern. In their own words: "'1951' was rarely discussed until the years immediately preceding 1951. Its frequency soared in 1951, remained high for three years, and then underwent a rapid decay, dropping by half over the next fifteen years." But the shape of these graphs is changing. The peak gets higher with every year and we are forgetting our past with greater speed. The half-life of '1880' was 32 years, but that of '1973' was a mere 10 years.

The future, however, is becoming ever more easily ingrained. The team found that new technology permeates through our culture with growing speed. By scanning the corpus for 154 inventions created between 1800-1960, from microwave ovens to electroencephalographs, they found that more recent ones took far less time to become widely discussed.

Book: Mining of Massive Datasets (free download)

Anand Rajaraman


Jeffrey Ullman

This book evolved from material developed over several years by Anand Rajaraman and Jeff Ullman for a one-quarter course at Stanford. The course CS345A, titled "Web Mining," was designed as an advanced graduate course, although it has become accessible and interesting to advanced undergraduates.

At the highest level of description, this book is about data mining. However, it focuses on data mining of very large amounts of data, that is, data so large it does not fit in main memory. Because of the emphasis on size, many of our examples are about the Web or data derived from the Web. Further, the book takes an algorithmic point of view: data mining is about applying algorithms to data, rather than using data to "train" a machine-learning engine of some sort.

Mining Data for the Netflix Prize [News]

Last October, Netflix, the online movie rental service, announced that it would award $1 million to the first person or team who can devise a system that is 10 percent more accurate than the company's current system for recommending movies that customers would like.


The contest has also generated several academic papers, Mr. Bennett said. It has turned out to be more exciting than officials expected.
