Text Mining with Node.js - Philipp Burckhardt, Carnegie Mellon University Today, more data is accumulated than ever before. It has been estimated that over 80% of data collected by businesses is unstructured, mostly in the form of free text. The statistical community has developed many tools for analyzing textual data, both in the areas of exploratory data analysis (e.g. clustering methods) and predictive analytics. In this talk, Philipp Burckhardt will discuss tools and libraries that you can use today to perform text mining with Node.js. Creative strategies to overcome the limitations of the V8 engine in the areas of high-performance and memory-intensive computing will be discussed. You will be introduced to how you can use Node.js streams to analyze text in real-time, how to leverage native add-ons for performance-intensive code and how to build command-line interfaces to process text directly from the terminal.
