Conclusion

From the Paper
"At the intersection of text mining, linguistic analysis, statistical analysis, and latent semantic indexing techniques (Wikipedia Latent Semantic Indexing 2006). is the future of text mining that has the power to discover and report trending in highly unstructured content. At the center of text-mining's' rapid growth is the increasing sophistication of Natural Language Processing (CRM Buyer 2005). IBM and their significant research efforts in natural language processing are well documented on their website, as are the efforts and investments Microsoft is making."
