Data Mining and Text Mining Resources

With the objective of learning data mining concepts and also applying them to my MS course project(I had promised to talk about this in one of my earlier posts), I happened to explore and compile links to some books, blogs, articles, papers etc. Here’s listing of those and it is useful to anyone who’s interested in Data Mining, Text Mining, NLP, Information Retrieval and related areas. This can serve up as a one-stop location, for my quick reference as well! 🙂
