Abstract

Cosine similarity Latent semantic analysis (LSA) Latent semantic indexing (LSI) Queries Singular value decomposition (SVD)
In this chapter, we introduce latent semantic analysis (LSA), which uses singular value decomposition (SVD) to reduce the dimensionality of the document-term representation. This method reduces the large matrix to an approximation that is made up of fewer latent dimensions that can be interpreted by the analyst. Two important concepts in LSA, cosine similarity and queries, are explained. Finally, we discuss decision-making in LSA.
