Mining Unstructured Data

jscribner writes "Data these days tends to an unstructured form, be it text (like the web, email, or books), spoken word, or even in DB's with unique organization (and thus a discrete language). There's a new article on Unstructured Data in Think Research; it's an overview of the challenges, progress, and potential rewards in this area. I'm leaving on your doorstep because, to me, it's a good launching point for discussion of several interesting possibilities: /. as a minable DB of ideas, email identified by interpretation rather than keywords, emotive XML, etc."

Nah. Just too dumb to grow facial hair.
