It describes natural processing steps of tokenization, surface  syntactic analysis, and syntactic attribute extraction. From these  attributes, word and term similarity is calculated and a thesaurus is  created showing important common terms and their relation to each  other, common verb--noun pairings, common expressions, and word family  members. \u003cbr\u003e  The techniques are tested on twenty different corpora ranging from  baseball newsgroups, assassination archives, medical X-ray reports,  abstracts on AIDS, to encyclopedia articles on animals, even on the  text of the book itself. The corpora range from 40,000 to 6 million  characters of text, and results are presented for each in the  Appendix. \u003cbr\u003e  The methods described in the book have undergone extensive evaluation.  Their time and space complexity are shown to be modest. The results  are shown to converge to a stable state as the corpus grows. The  similarities calculated are compared to those produced by  psychological testing. A method of evaluation using Artificial  Synonyms is tested. Gold Standards evaluation show that techniques  significantly outperform non-linguistic-based techniques for the most  important words in corpora. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eExplorations in Automatic Thesaurus Discovery\u003c\/em\u003e includes  applications to the fields of information retrieval using established  testbeds, existing thesaural enrichment, semantic analysis. Also  included are applications showing how to create, implement, and test a  first-draft thesaurus. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461361671\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-2710-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 305\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398543634572,"sku":"9781461361671","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461361671.jpg?v=1775009658","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461361671","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
