Text mining is the process of extracting meaning, patterns, and trends from unstructured textual data. Massive amounts of unstructured text are prevalent in research. Traditional machine learning algorithms handle only numerical or categorical data. Existing data analytical platforms provide special components to facilitate the analysis of textual data.

This workshop introduces the topic of text mining and provides a tour with hands-on exercises and demonstrations of four text mining tools, each of which supports an interesting and diverse set of features.
