Abstract
There is an urgent need to develop new text mining solutions to tackle exponential growth in text data. Problem sizes are increasing day by day by due to the addition of new text documents. Grid aware text mining is one of the solutions for knowledge extraction from such large volume of text. Part of speech (POS) tagging is an important preprocessing task in text mining. But tagging algorithms working on a very large document collection take very long time on conventional computers to produce results. In this paper we present a framework for parallel implementation of part of speech tagging for text mining using grid computing. Globus Toolkit, which is a middleware for scientific and data intensive grid applications, is used for developing this framework in grid environment. Experimental results show that this model significantly reduces the part of speech tagging time for text mining. This model can be integrated into grid-based text mining tool, helping to improve the overall performance of the text mining process.
