Practical Text Mining with Perl

As a discipline, text mining is relatively young in the larger field of data mining, but is expected to become more prevalent as methodology matures and as computing power increases. This book covers text mining ideas from several perspectives statistics, data mining, linguistics, and information retrieval and shows readers how to actually perform text mining tasks using Perl. End-of-chapter exercises and an extensive case study are also included. The book is appropriate for data mining analysts, computational biologists, software engineers, students, and anyone interested in extracting information from text documents.
