(Based on the NPTEL course transcript: "Business Analytics & Text Mining Modeling Using Python")

1. Introduction to Text Mining

Text mining, also known as text analytics, is the process of extracting meaningful insights from
unstructured text data. Unlike data mining, which deals with structured numerical data, text mining

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 16/59
transforms textual information into a structured format for further analysis using machine learning
and natural language processing (NLP) techniques.
Why is Text Mining Important?

Over 80% of business data is in the form of unstructured text (emails, social media, news
articles, product reviews).
Text mining enables organizations to automate decision-making and gain insights from this vast
amount of textual data.
With advancements in machine learning and NLP, text mining has become more efficient and
widely used in various industries.

Common Applications of Text Mining

✅ Sentiment Analysis: Understanding customer opinions in social media and reviews.

✅ Spam Filtering: Detecting spam emails based on text content.
✅ Topic Modeling: Extracting topics from news articles or research papers.
✅ Fraud Detection: Identifying fraudulent transactions based on textual patterns.
✅ Legal & Healthcare Analytics: Processing contracts, legal documents, and medical records.
2. Characteristics of Text Data
Text data differs significantly from numerical data due to its unstructured nature. Some key
characteristics of text include:

(a) Context Sensitivity

Words can have different meanings based on context.

Example: The word "bank" can mean a financial institution or the side of a river.

(b) High Dimensionality

Text data consists of thousands of unique words, leading to high-dimensional datasets.

Example: A dataset containing 10,000 documents may have 50,000 unique words, making it
computationally expensive to analyze.

(c) Sparsity

Most words do not appear in every document, resulting in a sparse matrix (many zero values).

Example: In a dataset with 1,000 documents, a word like "cryptocurrency" may appear in only 10
documents.

(d) No Fixed Structure

Unlike structured data (rows & columns), text data consists of sentences, paragraphs, and
documents with varying lengths.
Example: Tweets have character limits, whereas research papers are lengthy.

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 17/59
(e) Presence of Noise

Text often contains irrelevant characters, misspellings, stopwords, and special symbols that
need to be removed.
Example: "Hiiiii!! How r u??? 😊 " needs to be cleaned to "Hi How are you".

3. Steps in Text Processing

Since text data is unstructured, it must be preprocessed before analysis. The main steps include:

Step 1: Tokenization

Breaking text into individual words (tokens).

Example: "Text mining is powerful." → `['Text', 'mining', 'is', 'powerful']`

Step 2: Removing Stopwords

Stopwords (e.g., the, is, and, a) add no meaningful information.

Example: "The movie was very good." → `['movie', 'good']`

Step 3: Stemming & Lemmatization

Stemming: Reduces words to their root form (removes suffixes).

Example: "running, runs, ran" → `"run"`
Lemmatization: Converts words to their base dictionary form.

Example: "better" → `"good"`

Step 4: Removing Special Characters & Punctuation

Example: "Hello!!! How are you??? 😊 " → `"Hello How are you"`

Step 5: Feature Extraction (Converting Text to Numerical Format)

Once text is cleaned, it must be converted into a numerical format using:

Bag of Words (BoW) – Represents text as word frequency vectors.

TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency) – Identifies important words.

Word Embeddings (Word2Vec, GloVe, BERT) – Captures word meanings and relationships.

4. Challenges in Text Mining

Text mining faces several challenges due to the complexity of language and high-dimensional nature
of text data:

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 18/59
✅ Ambiguity & Polysemy: Words can have multiple meanings.
✅ Synonyms: Different words can mean the same thing (e.g., big vs. large).
✅ Domain-Specific Language: Medical, legal, and technical texts have unique vocabulary.
✅ Multilingual Data: Handling multiple languages in text analysis.
✅ Data Size & Scalability: Processing millions of documents requires computational power.
5. Summary
Text mining extracts useful information from unstructured text data.
Text data characteristics include high dimensionality, sparsity, and noise.

Preprocessing is essential to clean text before analysis.

Feature extraction methods like BoW, TF-IDF, and Word Embeddings help convert text into a
structured format.

Challenges in text mining include ambiguity, synonyms, multilingual data, and scalability
issues.

🚀 Next Steps: Now that we've covered text mining and text characteristics, let me know if you're
ready for the next topic: Predictive Text Analytics! 🚀

Predictive Text Analytics

Predictive Text Analytics

(Based on the NPTEL course transcript: "Business Analytics & Text Mining Modeling Using Python")

1. Introduction to Predictive Text Analytics

Predictive text analytics is the process of using machine learning models to analyze text data and make
predictions or classifications based on patterns extracted from the text. It helps businesses and
researchers automate decision-making and gain insights from unstructured text.

✅ Topic classification (categorizing news articles as sports, politics, or business).
✅ Autocomplete and next-word prediction (used in search engines and keyboards).
✅ Customer feedback analysis (understanding customer concerns from reviews).
2. How Predictive Text Analytics Works
The process follows several key steps:

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 19/59
Step 1: Text Preprocessing

Before applying machine learning, the text data needs to be cleaned and structured.
🔹 Tokenization – Splitting text into words.
🔹 Stopword Removal – Removing common words (e.g., the, is, and).
🔹 Stemming & Lemmatization – Converting words to their root form.
🔹 Feature Extraction – Representing text as numerical data using TF-IDF, Bag of Words (BoW), or
word embeddings.

Step 2: Feature Engineering (Converting Text into Numbers)

Since machine learning models work with numerical data, text must be transformed into a numerical
format:
📌 Bag of Words (BoW):
Converts text into a word frequency matrix.
Example:
Document 1: "I love programming."

Document 2: "Python is great for programming."

BoW representation:

mathematica

Word Doc1 Doc2

---------------------
I 1 0
love 1 0
programming 1 1
Python 0 1
is 0 1
great 0 1

📌 TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency):

Assigns importance to words based on how frequently they appear.
Rare words get higher weight since they carry more meaningful information.

Example:

🚀 Next Steps: Now that we've covered Text Mining Problems, let me know if you're ready for the next
topic: Prediction & Evaluation! 🚀

Prediction & Evaluation

Prediction & Evaluation

(Based on the NPTEL course transcript: "Business Analytics & Text Mining Modeling Using Python")

1. Introduction to Prediction & Evaluation in Text Mining

In text mining, prediction refers to the process of analyzing text data and making future classifications
or forecasts. Evaluation is the process of measuring how well a text mining model performs.
📌 Example:
A spam filter predicts whether an email is spam or not based on past data.
A sentiment analysis model predicts if a review is positive or negative.
A news classifier predicts if an article belongs to sports, politics, or technology.

To ensure high accuracy and reliability, we need to evaluate how well these models work using various
performance metrics.

2. Types of Predictions in Text Mining

(a) Classification (Supervised Learning)

Used when we have labeled data (each text sample belongs to a known category).
Example: Spam Detection, Sentiment Analysis, Fake News Detection.
Models: Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Decision Trees, Deep Learning (LSTMs,
BERT).

📌 Example:
Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 26/59
 Given an email, predict spam or not spam.
Given a tweet, predict positive, negative, or neutral sentiment.

(b) Clustering (Unsupervised Learning)

Used when we have unlabeled data and need to group similar texts.
Example: Topic Modeling, Document Clustering, News Article Grouping.

Models: K-Means, Hierarchical Clustering, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA).

📌 Example:
Analyzing thousands of customer reviews and grouping them into topics like pricing, delivery,
product quality.

(c) Regression (Predicting Continuous Values)

Used when predicting numeric values from text data.

Example: Predicting stock market trends using financial news.
Models: Linear Regression, LSTMs (Deep Learning).

📌 Example:
Using past Twitter sentiment to predict stock price changes.

3. Performance Evaluation Metrics

After building a text mining model, we need to measure its accuracy. Different evaluation metrics are
used depending on the type of prediction.

(a) Confusion Matrix

A confusion matrix helps understand how well a classification model performs.

📌 Example: Spam Detection Model
Actual \ Predicted Spam Not Spam
Spam 80 10
Not Spam 5 100

🔹 True Positives (TP): Correctly predicted spam emails (80).

🔹 False Positives (FP): Emails incorrectly classified as spam (5).
🔹 True Negatives (TN): Correctly predicted non-spam emails (100).
🔹 False Negatives (FN): Spam emails incorrectly classified as non-spam (10).
(b) Accuracy

Measures the percentage of correct predictions.

TP TN
Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 27/59
 TP + TN
Accuracy =
TP + TN + FP + FN
​

📌 Example Calculation:
80 + 100 180
= = 92.3%
80 + 100 + 5 + 10 195
​ ​

🚨 Problem: Accuracy can be misleading when dealing with imbalanced datasets (e.g., if 95% of emails
are non-spam, a model that always predicts “not spam” would have 95% accuracy but be useless for
detecting spam).

(c) Precision, Recall, and F1-Score

To handle imbalanced data, we use Precision, Recall, and F1-Score.

📌 Precision (Positive Predictive Value):
Measures how many predicted spam emails were actually spam.

TP
Precision =
TP + FP
​

📌 Recall (Sensitivity or True Positive Rate):

Measures how many actual spam emails were correctly detected.

TP
Recall =
TP + FN
​

📌 F1-Score (Harmonic Mean of Precision & Recall):

Balances precision and recall when both are important.

Precision × Recall
F1-Score = 2 ×
Precision + Recall
​

📌 Example:
A high precision but low recall model rarely predicts spam, but when it does, it's usually correct.
A high recall but low precision model detects most spam but also incorrectly flags many non-
spam emails.
The F1-score balances both.

(d) ROC Curve & AUC (Area Under Curve)

The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve plots True Positive Rate (TPR) vs. False
Positive Rate (FPR).
The AUC (Area Under Curve) value tells us how well the model separates classes.
AUC near 1: Excellent model.
AUC near 0.5: Random guessing.

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 28/59
📌 Example:
If an AUC score is 0.95, the model correctly distinguishes spam and non-spam emails 95% of the time.

4. Evaluating Unsupervised Models (Clustering & Topic Modeling)

For clustering algorithms (like K-Means, LDA), we cannot use accuracy since there are no true labels.
Instead, we use:

(a) Silhouette Score

Measures how well each text document fits within its cluster.
Higher score = Better clustering.

(b) Perplexity (for Topic Modeling - LDA)

Measures how well the model predicts new text data.

Lower perplexity = Better topic coherence.

📌 Example:
A topic model trained on news articles should correctly assign new articles to topics like politics, sports,
or finance.

5. Challenges in Prediction & Evaluation

🚨 Data Imbalance: If one class dominates (e.g., 95% positive reviews), accuracy alone is misleading.
🚨 Ambiguous Labels: Some text samples may fit multiple categories (e.g., “This movie was bad but
had good music”).
🚨 Context Dependency: A model trained on English sentiment analysis may fail on tweets with
sarcasm.
🚨 Computational Cost: Deep learning models like BERT, GPT require high computing power for
training and evaluation.

6. Summary
✅ Prediction in Text Mining includes classification, clustering, and regression.
✅ Evaluation Metrics measure model performance:
Accuracy (general performance, but misleading for imbalanced data).

Precision, Recall, F1-Score (better for class imbalance).

ROC-AUC (measures model discrimination ability).
✅ Unsupervised Learning Evaluation uses Silhouette Score and Perplexity.
✅ Challenges include: data imbalance, ambiguous labels, context dependency, and
computational costs.

(c) Interpreted Language

Python executes code line by line, unlike compiled languages (C, Java).
Makes debugging easier.

📌 Example: Running Python in interactive mode:

bash

>>> print("Python is interpreted")

Python is interpreted

(d) Object-Oriented & Functional Programming

Python supports both object-oriented programming (OOP) and functional programming.

📌 Example: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
python

class Car:
def __init__(self, brand):
self.brand = brand

def display(self):
print("Car Brand:", self.brand)

my_car = Car("Toyota")
my_car.display()

📌 Example: Functional Programming (Using Lambda Functions)

python

square = lambda x: x * x
print(square(5)) # Output: 25

(e) Large Standard Library

Python comes with a built-in standard library that includes modules for:
🔹 Mathematical operations (`math`)

import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect("database.db")
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users")
print(cursor.fetchall())

(h) Memory Management

Python has automatic garbage collection, which frees up memory without manual intervention.
Uses reference counting and a garbage collector to remove unused objects.

📌 Example: Checking Object Reference Count

python

import sys
x = [1, 2, 3]
print(sys.getrefcount(x)) # Output: Number of references to x

Control Structures! 🚀

Commands for common tasks and control

Commands for Common Tasks and Control in Python

The course material provides several commands and techniques to execute common tasks and control
the behavior of the Python environment, particularly in Jupyter Notebook.

Tab Completion

Tab completion is a useful feature in Jupyter Notebook.

If you type a variable name followed by a dot (`.`) and press `Tab`, a drop-down list of available
methods and attributes appears.
This helps in exploring available functions related to an object.

Object Information

Using the `?` operator after a variable or function name gives details about it.
Example:

python

my_list = [1, 2, 3]
my_list?

This will display information about the `list` object.

The `??` operator shows the source code of a function.

python

def my_func():
return "Hello"

my_func??

This will display the source code of `my_func`.

Namespace Exploration

To search for functions within a module, wildcard characters (`*`) can be used.

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 45/59
 python

import numpy as np
np.*load*?

This searches for all objects in NumPy that have "load" in their names.

Special Commands for Execution and Control

These are commands that are not built into Python itself but can be used in Jupyter Notebook to
manage code execution:

1. Listing Installed Packages

python

!pip list

This lists all installed Python packages.

2. Magic Commands

Essential Python Programming Concepts & Built-in Capabilities of

Python
(Based on the NPTEL course transcript: "Business Analytics & Text Mining Modeling Using Python")

1. Introduction to Python Programming Concepts & Language

Mechanics
Python follows a unique approach to programming, making it different from compiled languages like
C++ or Java.
Key characteristics include:

Interpreted Language → Executes line-by-line instead of compiling the whole program at once.
Dynamically Typed → No need to explicitly declare variable types.
Indentation-Based Syntax → Uses whitespace for structuring instead of `{}` braces.

📌 Example of Python Indentation

python

for i in range(3):
print("Hello") # Indented block
Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 47/59
 print("Done") # Outside the loop

Here, indentation determines the block of code inside the loop​.

2. Essential Python Programming Concepts

Python provides several fundamental programming constructs:

(a) Variables & Data Types

Python supports different data types without explicit type declaration:

✅ int → `x = 10`
✅ float → `y = 3.14`
✅ str → `name = "Python"`
✅ bool → `status = True`
✅ list → `fruits = ["apple", "banana"]`
✅ tuple →
✅ dict →
`coordinates = (10, 20)`
`student = {"name": "John", "age": 25}`

📌 Example: Checking Data Types

python

x = 5
print(type(x)) # Output: <class 'int'>

(b) Operators in Python

Python supports various types of operators:

🔹 Arithmetic Operators ( , , , ,
`+` `-` `*` `/` `%`, `//`, `**`)
🔹 Comparison Operators ( , , ,
`==` `!=` `<` `>`, `<=`, `>=`)
🔹 Logical Operators ( , , )
🔹 Bitwise Operators ( , , , ,
`and` `or` `not`
`&` `|` `^` `<<` `>>`)

📌 Example: Arithmetic Operations

python

a = 10
b = 3
print(a // b) # Floor division: Output -> 3
print(a ** b) # Exponentiation: Output -> 1000

(c) Control Structures (if-else, loops)

Control flow statements allow decision-making and iteration.

Conditional Statements (if-else)

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 48/59
📌 Example:
python

x = 10

elif x == 5:
print("Equal to 5")
else:
print("Less than 5")

Loops (for, while)

📌 Example: Using `for` Loop

python

for i in range(3):
print(i) # Output: 0, 1, 2

📌 Example: Using `while` Loop

python

count = 0

Tuples can contain mixed data types (integers, strings, lists, etc.).

Tuple Operations

🔹 Accessing Elements (Indexing)

python

print(tup1[0]) # Output: 1

🔹 Concatenation (Combining Tuples)

python

tup3 = tup1 + tup2

print(tup3) # Output: (1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 10)

🔹 Unpacking Tuples
python

a, b, c = tup1
print(a, b, c) # Output: 1 5 9

🔹 Tuple Nesting
Tuples can contain other tuples (nested tuples).

python

nested_tup = ((1, 5, 9), (2, 6, 10))

print(nested_tup)

3. Lists
Definition:

A list is an ordered, mutable sequence of elements.

Lists are represented using square brackets `[]`.
Elements can be added, modified, or deleted.

📌 Example: Creating Lists

python

my_list = [1, 3, None, 5, True]

python

my_list[2] = "Updated"
print(my_list) # Output: [1, 3, "Updated", 5, True]

🔹 Appending Elements
python

my_list.append(10)
print(my_list) # Output: [1, 3, "Updated", 5, True, 10]

🔹 Removing Elements
python

my_list.remove(3)
print(my_list) # Output: [1, "Updated", 5, True, 10]

🔹 List Slicing
python

print(my_list[1:4]) # Output: ["Updated", 5, True]

🔹 Converting Other Objects to Lists

python

tuple1 = (1, 2, 3)
list1 = list(tuple1) # Convert tuple to list
print(list1) # Output: [1, 2, 3]

4. Dictionaries (Dicts)
Definition:

A dictionary is an unordered collection of key-value pairs.

Represented using curly braces `{}`.

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 53/59
 Keys must be unique and immutable (e.g., strings, numbers, tuples).
Values can be any data type (including lists, dictionaries, etc.).

📌 Example: Creating a Dictionary

python

student = {"name": "John", "age": 25, "grade": "A"}

print(student["name"]) # Output: John

Dictionary Operations
