A Survey on Text Mining using Genetic Algorithm

Text mining, also known as text data mining or knowledge discovery from textual databases, refers to the process of extracting interesting and non-trivial patterns or knowledge from text documents. Regarded by many as the next wave of knowledge discovery, text mining has very high commercial values. Text Mining can be achieved directly by applying Genetic Algorithm to text classification, summarization and information retrieval system in text mining process. The various researches show the performance is improved due to the nature of Genetic Algorithm. Genetic Algorithm has been used to tackle extensive variety of optimization problems. In this paper text mining concept is discussed and how genetic algorithm is applied on it and its usage in text mining.
