The large amount of data stored in unstructured texts cannot simply be used for further processing by computers, which typically handle text as simple sequences of character strings. Therefore, specific (pre-) processing methods and algorithms are required in order to retrieve useful information via text. Text mining refers generally to the process of retrieving information and knowledge from formless text. This research work analyses about the use of classification algorithms and their uses to predict the applications of text mining. The purpose of this work is to present an analysis of recent publications concerning with text mining using classification algorithm in particular. This survey finds out some of the best suitable algorithms for text mining analyses suggested by the various researchers in their research work.
