Abstract

The knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) is concerned with the non-trivial process of making sense of data. Data mining is only a step in the KDD process that consists in pattern recognition using statistics and machine learning techniques. This literature review focuses on how text mining techniques can be applied in Psychology. In this context, the two main purposes of text mining techniques will be introduced: description and prediction. Finally, this paper highlights the use of text mining techniques as a psychological assessment tool, which differs from the use of standard questionnaires or scales.
