Knowledge discovery in virtual community texts: Clustering virtual communities
Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems: Applications in Engineering and Technology, 2003Summary: Automatic knowledge discovery from texts (KDT) is proving to be a promising method for businesses today to deal with the overload of textual information. In this paper, we first explore the possibilities for KDT to enhance communication in virtual communities, and then we present a practical case study with real-life Internet data. The problem
