Taming Text: An Introduction to Text Mining
نویسنده
چکیده
Motivation. One of the newest areas of data mining is text mining. Text mining is used to extract information from free form text data such as that in claim description fields. This paper introduces the methods used to do text naming and applies the method to a simple example. Method. The paper will describe the methods used to parse data into vectors of terms for analysis. It will then show how information extracted from the vectorized data can be used to create new features for use in analysis. Focus will be placed on the method of clustering for finding patterns in unstructured text information. Results. The paper shows how feature variables can be created from unstructured text information and used for prediction Conclusions. Text mining has significant potential to expand the amount of information that is available to insurance analysts for exploring and modeling data Availability. Free software that can be used to perform some of the analyses describes in this paper is described in the appendix.

SAS Text Miner uses the vector space model for representing text. In this framework, distinct terms in the collection correspond to variables and documents represent observations. For most collections, the number of variables needed to represent each document is well above what can easily be modeled. As a result, dimension reduction becomes a crucial aspect of text mining solutions. In this pap...
