Total environment for text data mining

Abstract

In this challenge, we develop and distribute an integrated environment to flexibly combine multiple text mining techniques. Text mining techniques include numerous tasks such as salient sentence extraction, keyword extraction, topic extraction, textual coherence evaluation, multi-document summarization, and text clustering. Although tools that individually perform one or more of the above-mentioned tasks exist, it is difficult to integrate and activate multiple tools for a particular task. We attempt to provide the flexibility to integrate numerous tools that exist in the community in our proposed text mining environment. Users can use a customized version of the proposed text mining environment for their specific tasks, thereby concentrating solely on their creative work.
