Fuldtekstanalyse

Fuldtekstanalyse, or full-text analysis, is the systematic examination of the content of entire texts rather than metadata or abstracts. It uses computational methods from natural language processing, text mining, and machine learning to extract information, detect patterns, and gain insights from large corpora of written material. Common steps include preprocessing such as tokenization and normalization, followed by representation (for example bag-of-words, TF-IDF, or word embeddings) and various analytic techniques.

Applications of fuldtekstanalyse span research, industry, and public policy. It supports text classification, topic modeling, sentiment analysis, authorship attribution, information retrieval, and automatic summarization. It is also used for trend monitoring, competitive intelligence, compliance screening, and the analysis of large-scale discourse over time.

Data sources for fuldtekstanalyse are diverse and can include digital libraries, scientific articles, legal documents, news archives, corporate reports, and social media. The choice of source influences the design of the analysis, from language handling to sampling strategies. Methodologically, work typically involves corpus construction, preprocessing, feature representation, modeling (supervised or unsupervised), and evaluation using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, or topic coherence.

Limitations and considerations encompass language variation, multilingual or domain-specific terminology, ambiguity, and context. Data quality, sampling bias, copyright and privacy concerns, and the interpretability of models are important factors. As text data grows, fuldtekstanalyse remains a core tool for extracting structured knowledge from unstructured written material.
