Current evaluation practices for IT projects suffer from several problems, which include the difficulty of self-explanation for the evaluation results and the improperly scaled scoring system. This study aims to develop a methodology of opinion mining to extract key factors for the causal relationship analysis and to assess the feasibility of quantifying evaluation scores from text comments using opinion mining based on big data analysis. The research has been performed on the domain of publicly procured IT proposal evaluations, which are managed by the National Procurement Service. Around 10,000 sets of comments and evaluation scores have been gathered, most of which are in the form of digital data but some in paper documents. Thus, more refined form of text has been prepared using various tools. From them, keywords for factors and polarity indicators have been extracted, and experts on this domain have selected some of them as the key factors and indicators. Also, those keywords have been grouped into into dimensions. Causal relationship between keyword or dimension factors and evaluation scores were analyzed based on the two research models-a keyword-based model and a dimension-based model, using the correlation analysis and the regression analysis. The results show that keyword factors such as planning, strategy, technology and PM mostly affects the evaluation result and that the keywords are more appropriate forms of factors for causal relationship analysis than the dimensions. Also, it can be asserted from the analysis that evaluation scores can be composed or calculated from the unstructured text comments using opinion mining, when a comprehensive dictionary of polarity for Korean language can be provided. This study may contribute to the area of big data-based evaluation methodology and opinion mining for IT proposal evaluation, leading to a more reliable and effective IT proposal evaluation method.

As international construction market increases, the importance of risk management in international construction project is emphasized. Unfortunately, current risk management practice does not sufficiently deal with project risks. Although a lot of risk analysis techniques have been introduced, most of them focus on project's external unexpected risks such as country conditions and owner's financial standing. However, because those external risks are difficult to manage and take preemptive action, we need to concentrate on project inherent risks. Based on this premise, this paper proposes a project-oriented risk mining approach which could detect and extract project risk factors automatically before they are materialized. This study presents a methodology regarding how to extract potential risks which exist in owner's project requirements and project tender documents using state of the art data analysis method such as text mining. The project-oriented risk mining approach is expected to effectively reflect project characteristics to the project risk management and could provide construction firms with valuable business intelligence.

It becomes more and more important for business survival to have the ability to predict the future with uncertainties increasing faster and faster. To predict the future, text mining tools are one of the main candidate other than traditional quantitative analyses, but those efforts are still at their infancy. This paper is to introduce one of those efforts using the case of company "P" in the steel industry. Even with only four month pilot studies, we found strong possibilities, if not testified robustly, to predict future industrial trends using text mining tools. For these text mining case studies, we categorized steel industry trend keywords into ten components (10 categories) to study ten different subjects for each category. Once found any meaningful changes in a trend, we had investigated in more detail what and how some trend happened so. To be more roust, firstly we need to define more cleary the purpose of text mining analyses. Then we need to categorize industry trend key words in a more systematic way using systems thinking models. With these improvements, we are quite sure that applying text mining tools to analyzing industry trends will contribute to predicting the future industry trends as well as to identifying the unseen trends otherwise.

Data mining technology is frequently used in identifying the intention of users over a variety of information contexts. Since relevant terms are mainly hidden in text data, it is necessary to extract them. Quantification is required in order to interpret user preference in association with other structured data. This paper proposes rating and comments mining to identify user priority and obtain improved ratings. Structured data (location and rating) and unstructured data (comments) are collected and priority is derived by analyzing statistics and employing TF-IDF. In addition, the improved ratings are generated by applying priority categories based on materialized ratings through Sentiment-Oriented Point-wise Mutual Information (SO-PMI)-based emotion analysis. In this paper, an experiment was carried out by collecting ratings and comments on "place" and by applying them. We confirmed that the proposed mining method is 1.2 times better than the conventional methods that do not reflect priorities and that the performance is improved to almost 2 times when the number to be predicted is small.

As the business model is receiving considerable attention these days, the ability to collect business model related information has become essential requirement for a company. The annual report is one of the most important external documents which contain crucial information about the company's business model. By investigating business descriptions and their future strategies within the annual report, we can easily analyze a company's business model. However, given the sheer volume of the data, which is usually over a hundred pages, it is not practical to depend only on manual extraction. The purpose of this study is to complement the manual extraction process by using text mining techniques. In this study, the text mining technique is applied in business model concept extraction and business model evolution analysis. By concept, we mean the overview of a company's business model within a specific year, and, by evolution, we mean temporal changes in the business model concept over time. The efficiency and effectiveness of our methodology is illustrated by a case example of three companies in the US video rental industry.

광고성 메일이 개인 당 하루 평균 10통 내외로 오며, 그 제목만으로는 광고메일을 효율적으로 제거하기 어려운 현실이다. 이러한 어려움은 주로 광고 제목을 교묘히 인사말이나 답신처럼 변경하는 데에서 오는 것이며, 이처럼 제목으로 광고를 삭제할 수 없도록 은폐하는 노력은 계속될 추세이다. 그래서 제목을 통한 변화에 적응하면서, 제목뿐만 아니라 내용에 대한 의미 파악을 자동으로 수행하여 스팸 메일을 차단하는 방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 정상 메일과 스팸 메일의 범주화(classification) 방식으로 접근하였다. 이러한 범주화 방식에 대한 기준을 자동으로 알기 위해서는 사람처럼 문장 해독을 통한 의미파악이 필요하지만, 기계가 문장 해독을 통해서 의미파악을 하는 비용이 막대하므로, 의미파악을 단어수준 등에서 효율적으로 대신하는 text mining과 web contents mining 기법들에 대한 적용 및 비교 연구를 수행하였다. 약 500 통에 달하는 광고메일을 표본으로 하였으며, 정상적인 편지군(500 통)에 대해서 동일한 기법을 적용시켜 false alarm도 측정하였다. 비교 연구 결과에 의하면, 메일 패턴의 가변성이 너무 커서 wrapper generation 방법으로는 해결하기 힘들었고, association rule analysis와 link analysis 기법이 보다 우수한 것으로 평가되었다.

This study aims to extract key topics through text mining of incident records (incident history, post-incident measures, preventive measures) from construction safety accident case data available on the public data portal. It also seeks to provide fundamental insights contributing to the establishment of manuals for disaster prevention by identifying correlations between these topics. After pre-processing the input data, we used the LDA-based topic modeling technique to derive the main topics. Consequently, we obtained five topics related to incident history, and four topics each related to post-incident measures and preventive measures. Although no dominant patterns emerged from the topic pattern analysis, the study holds significance as it provides quantitative information on the follow-up actions related to the incident history, thereby suggesting practical implications for the establishment of a preventive decision-making system through the linkage between accident history and subsequent measures for reccurrence prevention.

Text data mining ('big data methods') is one of the most widely used approaches during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, text data mining on Scopus databases or Web of Science (WoS). Text data mining is widely used to collect literature for later bibliometric analysis, and in the end, it becomes a literature review article. Therefore, in this article, we reveal the trend of publication of literature reviews in Scopus journals from Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, and Malaysia. This article describes two essential parts, namely 1) a comparison of international publication trends and subject area of literature review publications, and 2) a comparison of Top 5 for Authors, Affiliation, Source Title, and Collaboration Country.

Background: Published manuscripts are the main source of biological knowledge. Since the manual examination is almost impossible due to the huge volume of literature data (approximately 19 million abstracts in PubMed), intelligent text mining systems are of great utility for knowledge discovery. However, most of current text mining tools have limited applicability because of i) providing abstract-based search rather than sentence-based search, ii) improper use or lack of ontology terms, iii) the design to be used for specific subjects, or iv) slow response time that hampers web services and real time applications. Results: We introduce an advanced text mining system called PubMine that supports intelligent knowledge discovery based on diverse bio-ontologies. PubMine improves query accuracy and flexibility with advanced search capabilities of fuzzy search, wildcard search, proximity search, range search, and the Boolean combinations. Furthermore, PubMine allows users to extract multi-dimensional relationships between genes, diseases, and chemical compounds by using OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing) techniques. The HUGO gene symbols and the MeSH ontology for diseases, chemical compounds, and anatomy have been included in the current version of PubMine, which is freely available at http://pubmine.kobic.re.kr. Conclusions: PubMine is a unique bio-text mining system that provides flexible searches and analysis of biological entity relationships. We believe that PubMine would serve as a key bioinformatics utility due to its rapid response to enable web services for community and to the flexibility to accommodate general ontology.

Text mining is one of the useful tools to discover public opinion and perception regarding political issues from big data. It is very common that users of social media express their opinion with newly-coined words such as slang and emoji. However, those new words are not effectively captured by traditional text mining methods that process text data using a language dictionary. In this study, we propose effective methods to extract newly-coined words that connote the political stance and opinion of users. With various text mining techniques, I attempt to discover the context and the political meaning of the new words.
