Data and Knowledge Mining

In this research we focusing on mining approaches for text documents. Novel methods are developed for feature ranking, text classification, use of multi-classifier systems, the use of phrases for clustering documents, summarization, mining of text for picture contents and semantic and concept based text mining.
