Abstract

Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) focuses on the computerized exploration of large amounts of data and on the discovery of interesting patterns within them. While most work on KDD has been concerned with structured databases, there has been little work on handling the huge amount of information that is available only in unstructured textual form. This paper describes the KDT system for Knowledge Discovery in Texts. It is built on top of a text-categorization paradigm where text articles are annotated with keywords organized in a hierarchical structure. Knowledge discovery is performed by analyzing the co-occurrence frequencies of keywords from this hierarchy in the various documents. We show how this termfrequency approach supports a range of KDD operations, providing a general framework for knowledge discovery and exploration in collections of unstructured text.
