Motivation • (VSM) It assumes independency between the vocabulary terms and ignores all the conceptual relations between terms that potentially exist.
Objectives • To increase the importance of core words by considering the terms’ relations, and in parallel downsize the contribution of general terms, leading to better text clustering results.

Methodology • The Vector Space Model(VSM)
Methodology • The Generalized Vector Space Model(GVSM)
Methodology • Omiotis • Wikipedia-based relatedness • Average of Omiotis and Wikipedia-based relatedness
Methodology • Pointwise mutual information
Experiments • Vector similarity • Evaluation measures
Experiments • Evaluation measures • Purity • Entropy • Error rate
Conclusions • The evaluation results demonstrated that S-VSM dominates VSM in performance in most of the combinations and compares favorably to GVSM. • In order to further reduce the complexity of S-VSM we introduced an extension of it, namely the top-k S-VSM.
Comments • Advantages • It offers a very flexible kernel that can be applied within any domain or with any language. • The ability of the S-VSM perform much better than the VSM in the task of text clustering. • It very efficiently in terms of time and space complexity • Applications • Text clustering • Semantic smoothing kernels
