In these techniques, exploratory analysis, summarization, and categorization are in the domain of text mining.
Exploratory analysis includes techniques such as topic extraction, cluster analysis, etc. The term “text analytics”
is somewhat synonymous with “text mining” (or “text data mining”). Text mining can be best conceptualized as
a subset of text analytics that is focused on applying data mining techniques in the domain of textual
information using NLP and machine learning. Text mining considers only syntax (the study of structural
relationships between words). It does not deal with phonetics, pragmatics, and discourse.
