Abstract

See full text

Automatically detecting and summarising at least one topic in at least one document of a document set, whereby each document has a plurality of terms and a plurality of sentences comprising a plurality of terms. Furthermore, the plurality of terms and the plurality of sentences are represented as a plurality of vectors in a two-dimensional space. Firstly, the documents are pre-processed to extract a plurality of significant terms and to create a plurality of basic terms. Next, the documents and the basic terms are formatted. The basic terms and sentences are reduced and then utilised to create a matrix. This matrix is then used to correlate the basic terms. A two-dimensional co-ordinate associated with each of the correlated basic terms is transformed to an n-dimensional coordinate. Next, the reduced sentence vectors are clustered in the n-dimensional space. Finally, to summarise topics, magnitudes of the reduced sentence vectors are utilised.
