In this survey paper, we discuss biomedical ontologies and major text mining techniques applied to biomedicine and healthcare. Biomedical ontologies such as UMLS are currently being adopted in text mining approaches because they provide domain knowledge for text mining approaches. In addition, biomedical ontologies enable us to resolve many linguistic problems when text mining approaches handle biomedical literature. As the first example of text mining, document clustering is surveyed. Because a document set is normally multiple topic, text mining approaches use document clustering as a preprocessing step to group similar documents. Additionally, document clustering is able to inform the biomedical literature searches required for the practice of evidence-based medicine. We introduce Swanson's UnDiscovered Public Knowledge (UDPK) model to generate biomedical hypotheses from biomedical literature such as MEDLINE by discovering novel connections among logically-related biomedical concepts. Another important area of text mining is document classification. Document classification is a valuable tool for biomedical tasks that involve large amounts of text. We survey well-known classification techniques in biomedicine. As the last example of text mining in biomedicine and healthcare, we survey information extraction. Information extraction is the process of scanning text for information relevant to some interest, including extracting entities, relations, and events. We also address techniques and issues of evaluating text mining applications in biomedicine and healthcare.

The increasing interest in big data analysis using various data mining techniques indicates that many commercial data mining tools now need to be equipped with fundamental text analysis modules. The most essential prerequisite for accurate analysis of text documents is an understanding of the exact semantics of each term in a document. The main difficulties in understanding the exact semantics of terms are mainly attributable to homonym and synonym problems, which is a traditional problem in the natural language processing field. Some major text mining tools provide a thesaurus to solve these problems, but a thesaurus cannot be used to resolve complex synonym problems. Furthermore, the use of a thesaurus is irrelevant to the issue of homonym problems and hence cannot solve them. In this paper, we propose a semantic text mining methodology that uses ontologies to improve the quality of text mining results by resolving the semantic ambiguity caused by homonym and synonym problems. We evaluate the practical applicability of the proposed methodology by performing a classification analysis to predict customer churn using real transactional data and Q&A articles from the "S" online shopping mall in Korea. The experiments revealed that the prediction model produced by our proposed semantic text mining method outperformed the model produced by traditional text mining in terms of prediction accuracy such as the response, captured response, and lift.

최근 인터넷에는 기존의 데이터베이스 형태가 아닌 일정한 구조를 가지지 않았지만 상당한 잠재적 가치를 지니고 있는 텍스트 데이터들이 많이 생성되고 있다. 고객창구로서 활용되는 게시판이나 이메일, 검색엔진이 초기 수집한 데이터 둥은 이러한 비구조적 데이터의 좋은 예이다. 이러한 텍스트 문서의 분류를 위하여 각종 텍스트마이닝 도구가 개발되고 있으나, 이들은 대개 단순한 통계적 방법에 기반하고 있기 때문에 정확성이 떨어지고 좀 더 다양한 데이터마이닝 기법을 활용할 수 있는 방법이 요구되고 있다. 그러나, 정형화된 입력 데이터를 요구하는 데이터마이닝 기법을 텍스트에 직접 적용하기에는 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 전처리 과정에서 텍스트마이닝을 수행하고 정제된 중간결과를 데이터마이닝으로 처리하여 텍스트마이닝에 피드백 시켜 정확성을 높이는 방법을 제안하고 구현하여 보았다. 그리고, 그 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 유해사이트의 웹 컨텐츠를 분류해내는 작업에 적용하여 보고 그 결과를 분석하여 보았다. 분석 결과, 제안방법은 기존의 텍스트마이닝만을 적용할 때에 비하여 오류율을 현저하게 줄일 수 있었다.

텍스트 마이닝은 비정형화된 텍스트를 분석하여 그 안에 내재된 패턴, 추세, 분포 등의 고급정보들을 추출하는 분야이다. 텍스트 마이닝은 기본적으로 비정형 데이터를 가정하므로 텍스트를 단순화된 모델로 표현하는 것이 필요하다. 현재까지 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 모델은 텍스트를 단순한 단어들의 집합으로 표현한 벡터공간 모델이다. 그러나 최근 들어 단어들의 의미적 관계까지 표현하기 위해 그래프를 이용한 텍스트 표현 모델을 많이 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 텍스트 마이닝을 위한 기존의 연구 중에서 그래프에 기반한 텍스트 표현 모델의 방법들과 그들의 특징들을 기술한다. 또한 그래프 기반 텍스트 마이닝의 향후 발전방향에 대해서도 논한다.

PURPOSE: Text-mining has been shown to be useful for understanding the clinical characteristics and patients' concerns regarding a specific disease. Low back pain (LBP) is the most common disease in modern society and has a wide variety of causes and symptoms. On the other hand, it is difficult to understand the clinical characteristics and the needs as well as demands of patients with LBP because of the various clinical characteristics. This study examined online texts on LBP to determine of text-mining can help better understand general characteristics of LBP and its specific elements. METHODS: Online data from www.spine-health.com were used for text-mining. Keyword frequency analysis was performed first on the complete text of postings (full-text analysis). Only the sentences containing the highest frequency word, pain, were selected. Next, texts including the sentences were used to re-analyze the keyword frequency (pain-text analysis). RESULTS: Keyword frequency analysis showed that pain is of utmost concern. Full-text analysis was dominated by structural, pathological, and therapeutic words, whereas pain-text analysis was related mainly to the location and quality of the pain. CONCLUSION: The present study indicated that text-mining for a specific element (keyword) of a particular disease could enhance the understanding of the specific aspect of the disease. This suggests that a consideration of the text source is required when interpreting the results. Clinically, the present results suggest that clinicians pay more attention to the pain a patient is experiencing, and provide information based on medical knowledge.

The goal of this paper is to investigate changes in North Korea's domestic and foreign policies through automated text analysis over North Korean new year addresses, one of most important and authoritative document publicly announced by North Korean government. Based on that data, we then analyze the status of text mining research, using a text mining technique to find the topics, methods, and trends of text mining research. We also investigate the characteristics and method of analysis of the text mining techniques, confirmed by analysis of the data. We propose a procedure to find meaningful tendencies based on a combination of text mining, cluster analysis, and co-occurrence networks. To demonstrate applicability and effectiveness of the proposed procedure, we analyzed the inaugural addresses of Kim Jung Un of the North Korea from 2017 to 2019. The main results of this study show that trends in the North Korean national policy agenda can be discovered based on clustering and visualization algorithms. We found that uncovered semantic structures of North Korean new year addresses closely follow major changes in North Korean government's positions toward their own people as well as outside audience such as USA and South Korea.

Purpose - This is an exploratory study that aims to apply text mining techniques, which computationally extracts words from the large-scale text data, to legal documents to quantify trade claim contents and enables statistical analysis. Design/methodology - This is designed to verify the validity of the application of text mining techniques as a quantitative methodology for trade claim studies, that have relied mainly on a qualitative approach. The subjects are 81 cases of arbitration and court judgments from China published on the website of the UNCITRAL where the CISG was applied. Validation is performed by comparing the manually analyzed result with the automatically analyzed result. The manual analysis result is the cluster analysis wherein the researcher reads and codes the case. The automatic analysis result is an analysis applying text mining techniques to the result of the cluster analysis. Topic modeling and semantic network analysis are applied for the statistical approach. Findings - Results show that the results of cluster analysis and text mining results are consistent with each other and the internal validity is confirmed. And the degree centrality of words that play a key role in the topic is high as the between centrality of words that are useful for grasping the topic and the eigenvector centrality of the important words in the topic is high. This indicates that text mining techniques can be applied to research on content analysis of trade claims for statistical analysis. Originality/value - Firstly, the validity of the text mining technique in the study of trade claim cases is confirmed. Prior studies on trade claims have relied on traditional approach. Secondly, this study has an originality in that it is an attempt to quantitatively study the trade claim cases, whereas prior trade claim cases were mainly studied via qualitative methods. Lastly, this study shows that the use of the text mining can lower the barrier for acquiring information from a large amount of digitalized text.

Now is the time for IS scholars to demonstrate the added value of academic theory through its integration with text mining, clearly outline how to implement this for text mining experts outside of the academic field, and move towards establishing this integration as a standard practice. Therefore, in this study we develop a systematic theory-based text-mining framework (TTMF), and illustrate the use and benefits of TTMF by conducting a text-mining project in an actual business case evaluating and improving hotel service quality using a large volume of actual user-generated reviews. A total of 61,304 sentences extracted from actual customer reviews were successfully allocated to SERVQUAL dimensions, and the pragmatic validity of our model was tested by the OLS regression analysis results between the sentiment scores of each SERVQUAL dimension and customer satisfaction (star rates), and showed significant relationships. As a post-hoc analysis, the results of the co-occurrence analysis to define the root causes of positive and negative service quality perceptions and provide action plans to implement improvements were reported.

과거의 텍스트마이닝기법은 텍스트 자체의 복잡성과 텍스트 내에 산재한 변수의 자유도 때문에 분석 알고리즘을 구현하는데 어려움이 있었다. 의미 있는 정보를 얻기 위하여 어렵게 알고리즘을 구현했다고 하더라도, 기계적으로 텍스트 분석에 소요되는 시간이 텍스트를 사람이 직접 읽어 분석 하는 것보다 많은 시간이 요구 되었다. 그러나 최근 하드웨어와 분석 알고리즘의 발전과 함께 빅데이터라는 기술이 등장하였으며, 앞에서 설명한 제약사항을 극복할 수 있게 되었고, 텍스트마이닝을 통한 분석이 현실세계에서 그 가치를 충분히 인정받고 있다. 만약, 텍스트의 탐색 수준에서 벗어나 마이닝을 통하여 분석이 가능하다면 텍스트 분석에 소비되는 인적, 물적 자원의 비용을 절감할 수 있기 때문에 공공분야에서 절실히 요구되는 창조적인 일에 더 많은 자원을 효과적으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 인적 자원이 수작업으로 하는 공공분야 문서 분류의 결과값과 빅데이터 환경에서 텍스트마이닝기반의 문서내 단어 빈도수(TF-IDF)와 문서간 코사인 유사도(Cosine Similarity)를 활용한 공공분야 문서분류의 결과값을 비교하여 평가한다.
