Spotting Topics with the Singular Value Decomposition
Abstract. The singular value decomposition, or SVD , has been studied in the past as a tool for detecting and understanding patterns in a collection of documents. We show how the matrices produced by the SVD calculation can be interpreted, allowing us to spot patterns of characters that indicate particular topics in a corpus. A test collection, consisting of two days of AP newswire tra c, is used as a running example.
