This chapter describes ideas that have been put forward for understanding the contents of text collections from a more analytical point of view. 11.1: Visualization for Text Mining There is great interest in the field of text mining, which can be defined as the discovery by computer of new, previously unknown information, by automatically extracting information from different written resources (Hearst, 1999a, Feldman and Sanger, 2006).
