Claim Text:
1. A method of improving accuracy of computerized topic identification comprising: a domain independent, language independent, computer processor automated topic identification analysis method, a) deriving, by at least one computer processor, a lexicon from at least one hypertext corpus data set to associate at least one term with at least one topic, wherein said at least one term comprises at least one word, wherein at least one sense is derived from at least one hypertext link of the at least one hypertext corpus data set, and is associated with each of said at least one term, wherein each of said at least one sense refers to a single topic of said at least one term, wherein said at least one topic referred to by said at least one sense is to be used as a candidate topic at runtime, wherein a prior probability is associated with each of said at least one sense of said each said term, wherein each said prior probability is a fraction of occurrences of a given one of said at least one term as a relationship comprising a hypertext link that links to said single topic from said each of said at least one sense; b) receiving, by the at least one computer processor, at least one content document; c) searching for, by the at least one computer processor, at least one term from the lexicon derived from the at least one hypertext corpus data set, and finding the at least one term from the lexicon appearing in the at least one content document to determine at least one candidate topic of the at least one content document; d) lexically scoring, by the at least one computer processor, each of said at least one candidate topic found appearing in the at least one content document based on the at least one term found in said search of said (c) of the at least one content document to obtain a lexical score for each of said at least one candidate topic, and accumulating said lexical score for each of said at least one candidate topic for each occurrence in the at least one content document of a term, wherein the term has an associated sense, wherein the associated sense refers to said each said candidate topic, e) semantically scoring, by the at least one computer processor, the at least one candidate topic found in the at least one content document, based on a degree to which any plurality of candidate topics are semantically related to each other comprising: wherein said at least one data set comprises: a hypertext corpus comprising at least one graph, wherein said graph comprises:
