Data Mining and Text Mining
Posted on November 11th, 2012 at 10:35 pm by and

In the article “From Babel to Knowledge: Data Mining Large Digital Collections,” the purpose of the article is to describe a process called data mining. The process of data mining is very useful in terms of collecting large amounts of data and analyzing a big part of the data in order to discover a needed pattern regarding the search subject. With an infinite amount of search options, using this method might make searching for things much more faster since everything has already been put into organized categories. An example would be the Syllabus Finder which is a program that detects what something is on the basis of connected terms that go together. For example, someone can tell if something is a syllabi based on specialized key terms such as “reading assignments”, “due dates”, and the “grading scale“. However, it is not completely without any faults, just like any other technological program; it is a work-in-progress that has room for improvement.
