Currently tag "text-mining" has a definition that somehow mixes up data mining on text and text classification. Also, there is no other general tag like "text-analysis" that covers the broader field. In my mind that broader field includes e.g. clustering of text, feature extraction, preprocessing etc.
Since we do have general application tags like image-processing or clinical-trials that cover all different aspects of the corresponding applications shouldn't we have something similar for text? It would help better annotate questions that can be answered by experts of the field.
I propose renaming the text-mining tag to text-analysis and provide a more general/loose definition.
[text-mining]
is too heterogeneous, we could have[text-preprocessing]
as well. $\endgroup$
