3. Contextual Document Clustering was developed in joined project of Applied Mathematics and Control Processes Faculty, St. Petersburg State University and Northern Ireland Knowledge Engineering Laboratory (NIKEL), University of Ulster.

4. Definitions • Document • Terms dictionary • Dictionary • Cluster • Word context • Context or document conditional probability distribution • Entropy

5. Document conditional probability distribution Document x y word1 word2 word3 … wordn tf(y) 5 10 6 16 p(y|x) 5/m 10/m 6/m 16/m y – words tf(y) – y frequency p(y|x) – y conditional probability in document x m – document x size (5/m, 10/m,6/m,…,16/m ) – document conditional probability distribution

6. Word context Word w … Document x1 Document x2 Document xk y word1 word2 … wordn1 tf(y) 5 10 16 p(y|x1) 5/m1 10/m1 16/m1 y word1 word3 … wordn2 tf(y) 7 12 4 p(y|x1) 7/m1 12/m1 4/m1 y word1 word4 … wordnk tf(y) 20 9 3 p(y|x1) 20/mk 9/mk 3/mk … y word1 word2 word3 … wordnk tf(y) 5+7+20=32 10 12 3 p(y|w) 32/m 10/m 12/m 3/m Context conditional probability distribution

10. Entropy y context conditional probability distribution pn p2 p1 p1+p2+…+pn=1 pn p2 p1 Uncertainly measure, here it is used to characterize commonness (narrowness) of the word context.

11. Contextual Document Clustering maxH(y)=H ( )

12. Entropy 0 α 0.5 1 H( ) H( ) H( )

13. Word Context - Document Distance y context conditional probability distribution Average conditional probability distribution Document x conditional probability distribution

14. Word Context - Document Distance ) JS[p1,p2]=H( - 0.5H( ) ) - 0.5H(

15. Jensen-Shannon divergence

16. Dictionary construction Why: - big volumes: 60,000 documents, 50,000 words => 15,000 words in a context - narrow context words importance

17. Dictionary construction Delete words with 1. High or low frequency 2. High or low document frequency 3. 1. and 2.

18. Retrieval algorithms • keyword search method • cluster based search method • search by example method

19. Keyword search method Document 1 word 1 word 2 word 3 … word n1 Document 2 word 10 word 25 word 30 … word n2 Document 3 word 15 word 2 word 32 … word n3 Document 4 word 11 word 21 word 3 … word n4 Request: word 2 Result set: document 1 document3

20. Cluster based search method Documents Documents Documents Cluster 1 word 1 word 2 … word n1 Cluster 2 word 12 word 26 … word n2 Cluster 3 word 1 word 23 … word n3 Cluster context words Request: word 1 Result set: Cluster 1 Cluster 3

21. Minimal Spanning Tree Cluster name document 1 document 4 document 2 document 5 document 3 document 6 document 7 Cluster Similar documents search Request: document 3 Result set: document 6 document 7

22. Document classification: method 1 Training set Test documents Clusters List of topics Topics contexts Distances between topics and clusters contexts Classification result: cluster1 – topic 10 cluster 2 – topic 3 … cluster n – topic 30

23. Document classification: method 2 Training set Test documents All documents set Topics list Clusters Classification result: cluster1 – topic 10 cluster 2 – topic 3 … cluster n – topic 30

28. IRS architecture DBMS MS SQL Server 2000: • High-performance • Scalable • Secure • Huge volumes of data treat • T/SQL • Stored procedures

29. IRS features In the IRS the following problems are solved: • document clustering • keyword search method • cluster based search method • similar documents search method • document classification with the use of training set

30. DB structure The Data Base of the IRS consists of the following tables: • documents • all words dictionary • dictionary • table of relations between documents and words: document-word • words contexts • words with narrow contexts • clusters • intermediate tables for main tables build and for retrieve realization
