Senior Design Project: Data Mining Tool

Computer Science students developed a software tool to help Idaho State Board of Education staff to search and retrieve text from archived documents. The Board has decades of documents recording minutes of past meetings, board decisions, and supporting data. Before a meeting, board members want to review past decisions and discussion, so they need lay their hands on the relevant text quickly, often without knowing the exact wording in the document. This tool employs “stemming” to look for different forms of a verb, and a thesaurus.
