This scheme ignores many of the linguistic and semantic features contained in text documents. We propose here an alternative representation for documents using Lexical Chains. We compare the performance of the new representation against the old one on a clustering task.

"text": "We present here a two pass algorithm to compute a representation of documents using lexical chains and use these lexical chains to derive feature vectors. These lexical chain based feature vectors are used to cluster the documents using two different algorithms -k-Means and Co-clustering. k-Means is a well studied clustering algorithm widely used in the text domain. Co-clustering, also known as bi-clustering (Madeira and Oliveira, 2004) , is a clustering approach which was developed in the bioinformatics domain for clustering gene expressions. Since the text domain shares a lot of characteristics (high dimensionality, sparsity, etc.) of gene expression data, a lot of interest has been generated recently in applying the co-clustering approaches (Dhillon et al., 2003) to the text domain with promising results. Co-clustering (Dhillon et al., 2003; Sra et al., 2004) exploits the duality between rows and columns of the document-term matrix used to represent the features, by simultaneously clustering both the rows and columns.",

"text": "Algorithms for building lexical chains work by considering candidate words for inclusion in the chains constructed so far. Usually these candidate words are nouns and compound nouns. Lexical Chains can be computed at various granularitiesacross sentences, paragraphs or documents. In general, to compute lexical chains, each candidate word in the sentence/paragraph/document is compared, with each lexical chain identified so far. If a candidate word has a 'cohesive relation' with the words in the chain it is added to the chain. On the other hand, if a candidate word is not related to any of the chains, a new chain is created for the candidate word. Thus a lexical chain is made up of a set of semantically related words. The lexical chains obtained are then evaluated based on a suitable criteria and the better chains are selected and used to further processing. Naturally, the computation of lexical chains is predicated on the availability of a suitable database which maps relations between words.",

Both Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) and lexical chaining are very profound processes. The aim of computing the lexical chains here is to try and identify the topics in a document. If WSD has be performed as an implicit step in the lexical chain computing algorithm, it tends to deteriorate the outcome of both. We feel that the words should be disambiguated by looking at their context in a sentence/paragraph as a whole. As such, we propose to perform WSD as a preprocessing step, before the word is considered for lexical chaining. We use an algorithm by (Patwardhan et al., 2003) to disambiguate the senses of the words in reference to Wordnet. We then filter out all nonnoun words identified in the WSD stage. This is based on the assumption that nouns are better at reflecting the topics contained in a document than the other parts of speech. The result is a set of nouns which appear in the text along with its sense. We refer to these as 'candidate words'.",

This measure is a variant of the one used by (Pantel and Lin, 2002) , which defines an edit distance as the number of merge, move and copy operations required to transform the resulting clusters to the gold standard. Initially, if there are d classes in the gold standard, we create d empty clusters. The measure then merges each resulting cluster to the cluster in the gold standard with which it has maximum overlap, breaking ties randomly. Thus, the merge operation attempts to bring the obtained clusters as close as possible to the gold standard as a whole. Subsequently, the move and copy operations are used to move (copy) the documents around so that they finally match the gold standard.",

Hence, we define the edit distance as only the number of move and copy 3 operations required to convert the obtained clusters to that of the gold standard. In effect, it measures the number of documents which are misplaced with respect to the gold standard. The obtained edit distance is normalised by dividing it with the number of documents in the dataset. This will normalise the value of the measure to range between 0 and 1. The lower the value of this measure, the closer the obtained clustering is to the gold standard.",

"text": "A document is not just a bunch of loose words. Each word in a document contributes to some aspect of the overall semantics of the document. Classification and clustering algorithms seek to group the documents based on its semantics. The BoW scheme inherently throws away a lot of information, which would have otherwise been useful in discerning the semantics of the document. The BoW representation fails to capture and represent these semantics resulting in a less accurate representation for the documents. This fact is reflected by higher edit distance in the case of BoW based clustering in Table 4 . Earlier, Hatzivassiloglou, et. al. (Hatzivassiloglou et al., 2000) had studied the effects of linguistically motivated features on clustering algorithms. They had explored two linguistically motivated featuresnoun phrase heads and proper names and compared these against the bag of words representation. They had reported that the BoW representation was better than linguistically motivated features. We believe that noun phrase heads and proper names are inadequate representations of the semantics of a document and a more composite representation is required to obtain better results on semantically oriented tasks.",

During the process of computing and selecting the lexical chains, we are implicitly trying to decode the semantics of the documents. Lexical chains work on the basic premise that a document describes topics through a combination of words and these words will exhibit a cohesion among them. This cohesion can be identified using a resource such as WordNet. In the process, lexical chains capture some amount of the semantics contained in the documents, resulting in a better performance in subsequent processing of the documents.",
