Using Text Mining Techniques for Extracting Information

Abstract

Nowadays, research in text mining has become one of the widespread fields in analyzing natural language documents. The present study demonstrates a comprehensive overview about text mining and its current research status. As indicated in the literature, there is a limitation in addressing Information Extraction from research articles using Data Mining techniques. The synergy between them helps to discover different interesting text patterns in the retrieved articles. In our study, we collected, and textually analyzed through various text mining techniques, three hundred refereed journal articles in the field of mobile learning from six scientific databases, namely: Springer, Wiley, Science Direct, SAGE, IEEE, and Cambridge. The selection of the collected articles was based on the criteria that all these articles should incorporate mobile learning as the main component in the higher educational context.
