Summary: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.
