thesis outline

NLP, natural language processing
current focus: data-mining field (a data-fashion)
mining as ideology
- from: mining natural resources, to: data mining [what are the differences?]
- 'data mining'?
text processing
- from: able to check results with senses (OCR), to: intuition (data-mining) [what are the differences?]
- parsing, how text is treated: as n-grams, chunks, bag-of-words, characters
data as autonomous entity
- from: information, to: data science [what are the differences?]
concern

The results of data-mining software are not mined, results are created. What elements do allow for algorithmic agreeability?

research material
