《Text data mining》 offers thorough and detailed introduction to the fundamental theories and methods of text data mining, ranging from pre-processing (for both Chinese and English texts), text representation, feature selection, to text classification and text clustering. Also it presents predominant applications of text data mining, for example, topic model, sentiment analysis and opinion mining, topic detection and tracking, information extraction, and text automatic summarization, etc.
