Short Document Categorization - Itemsets Method

Short Document Categorization - Itemsets Method

A method for automating time-consuming document categorization in a digital library. The method proposed in this paper is based on itemsets, extending traditional application of the apriori algorithm. It is suitable for automatic categorization of short documents (abstracts, summaries) impeding usage of repeated occurrence of terms, such as in term-frequency-based methods. The paper presents basic principles of this method as well as preliminary results of an on-going research. The method is designed to fit to an extensive commercial application
