This document summarizes and compares different methods for text mining, including term-based methods, phrase-based methods, concept-based methods, and pattern taxonomy methods. It discusses various algorithms for tasks like information extraction, knowledge discovery, sequential pattern mining, frequent itemset mining, maximal pattern mining, and closed pattern mining. The document concludes that pattern mining methods can be used to analyze text data and identify patterns, but the proposed pattern taxonomy method refines discovered patterns to overcome issues of low-frequency patterns and misinterpretation for more effective text mining.
