Abstract

Very short texts, such as tweets and in-voices, present challenges in classification.Although term occurrences are strong in-dicators of content, in very short texts, thesparsity of these texts makes it difficult tocapture important semantic relationships.A solution calls for a method that not onlyconsiders term occurrence, but also han-dles sparseness well. In this work, we in-troduce such an approach, theTermBasedSemanticClusters (TBSeC) that employsterms to create distinctive semantic con-cept clusters. These clusters are rankedusing a semantic similarity function whichin turn defines a semantic feature spacethat can be used for text classification. Ourmethod is evaluated in an invoice classifi-cation task. Compared to well-known con-tent representation methods the proposedmethod performs competitively.
