Comparison of text mining tools

Abstract

Most of the data is in the form of text these days. While databases store only structured data, most of the data is unstructured like text documents, web pages, emails etc. Text mining is what is required if useful information needs to be extracted from tons of text. But where to begin, what are the popular tools, which techniques are used, what are the features. Beginning is always the toughest, so this paper tries to explore the tools available for text mining to help new researchers and practitioners in the field of text mining.
