Text Mining
Text mining is about looking for regularities, patterns or trends in natural language text, and usually is about analyzing text for particular purposes. Inspired by data mining, which discovers prominent patterns from highly structured databases, text mining aims to extract useful knowledge from unstructured or semi-structured text. In layman's terms, text mining is used for a machine to read and understand any piece of text.
Text Mining Tool
hTechSight is a EU-funded project, led by the University of Surrey, which aims to exploit recent advances in knowledge-based and other systems to harness the potential of the web and turn it into an effective resource to enable businesses to monitor and boost their competitive performance. Sibilo has developed a Text Mining tool for the project.
Annotation Editor
Parmenides is a EU-funded project, which aims to develop novel techniques for the purpose of semi-automatically building and maintaining domain specific ontologies; automatic detection and extraction of events in textual data; integrating the textual temporal information which has been extracted, in a document warehouse; and temporal knowledge discovery tasks for trends analysis, temporal validity of knowledge, etc. Sibilo has developed an Annotation Editor in Java for the project.
