Step 5: Text Mining and Recommender Systems

Abstract

One of the key areas of artificial intelligence is natural language processing (NLP), or text mining as it’s generally known, which deals with teaching computers how to extract meaning from text. Over the last 2 decades, with the explosion of the Internet world and the rise of social media, there is plenty of valuable data being generated in the form of text. The process of unearthing meaningful patterns from text data is called text mining. This chapter covers an overview of the high-level text mining process, key concepts, and common techniques involved.
