Text mining tools

Several tools are already available in the text mining (or more generally unstructured data) quickly growing market. We recognize the text mining market as composed by pure players (companies which develop text mining software, e.g. Clearforest, Inxight, Temis), indirect players (which integrate text mining into their offering, e.g. IBM, SAS, SPSS), partial players (companies which use text mining to improve their core business, e.g. Fast, Verity). A section is dedicated to each player which provided us with their company description, and a cumulative section listing the most known players in the text mining arena. Hundreds of other companies are already working successfully in the worldwide market. For a list of them, go to www.kdnuggets.com.
