Abstract: The analysis of large volumes of textual data requires the use of text-mining approaches. They enable to discover knowledge useful for experts of different domains (e.g. Epidemiology, Humanities, etc.). The course will present some approaches in order to deal with heterogenous textual data by focusing on the identification of thematic and spatial information in texts.
