I have nothing against Marti Hearst. I met with her once a few years back on the campus of UC Berkeley where she teaches in the School of Information Management Systems. And while this document is a good overview of text mining, I can't figure out why Google has ranked it as the No. 1 hit for the search "text mining" for at least the past two years.

It is interesting to look at the results on other engines (Yahoo!, Alta Vista, Ask) where Wikipedia and Mark Sharp seem to win out. A search engine that could report back a number of different definitions and explain those differenes - now that would be a great illustration of text mining...
How interesting! I exactly thought the same. While this is a good paper it makes no sense to me how it could be ranked number one on Google. Perhaps Marti has some good friends at the big Goog.
