Abstract:

In modern Western culture, text documents are the most common communication vehicle for the exchange of formal knowledge among people. Text contains a vast range of semantic information that is difficult to decipher automatically. Text mining recognizes that complete understanding of natural language text is a long-standing goal of computer science, and focuses on extracting information from text with high relevance to the user needs. There are a number of tasks that a good text analysis tool should solve. In the following paper we consider the types of problems that can be solved using the prototype-matching methodology for text clustering, introduced by our research group. We describe how the developed methodology can be applicable to solve the diverse range of tasks: organization of scientific conferences, news clustering, analyses of financial information, or authorship attribution.
