Abstract

This work aims presenting a computational modeling to extract specific data from textual repository, in order to build social and complex networks. These networks structures are implicit in texts. This paper presents the model process, which involves text mining by regular expressions, and the construction of networks. To validate the model, an experimental procedure was applied to build scientific collaboration networks in the context of post-graduation programs.
