Text mining tools can summarize and look for patterns within large electronic documents. Such tools are still expensive and difficult to use on large scale. But a group of researchers, including one’s at the University of Alberta, are hoping to change that.
A University of Alberta professor is helping to create text analysis tools to deeply examine historical trial accounts from the U.K.’s famous Old Bailey criminal court. While the research project is important to academia, the Edmonton-based researcher said that improving the quality of text mining tools could have benefits for businesses as well.
While academia are developing tools like TAPoR, a textual analysis tool that can summarize a body of text, find collocates, identify important dates, and discover the co-occurrences of two target words, the same could be applied to business records as well.
