概要
With the WEBSOM method a textual document collection may be organized onto a graphical map display that provides an overview of the collection and facilitates interactive browsing. Interesting documents can be located on the map using a content-directed search. Each document is encoded as a histogram of word categories which are formed by the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm based on the similarities in the contexts of the words. The encoded documents are organized on another Self-Organizing Map, a document map, on which nearby locations contain similar documents. Special consideration is given to the computation of very large document maps which is possible with general-purpose computers if the dimensionality of the word category histograms is first reduced with a random mapping method and if computationally efficient algorithms are used in computing the SOMs.

Abstract: With the WEBSOM method a textual document collection may be
        organized onto a graphical map display that provides an
        overview of the collection and facilitates interactive
        browsing. Interesting documents can be located on the map
        using a content-directed search. Each document is encoded
        as a histogram of word categories which are formed by the
        Self-Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm based on the
        similarities in the contexts of the words. The encoded
        documents are organized on another Self-Organizing Map, a
        document map, on which nearby locations contain similar
        documents. Special consideration is given to the
        computation of very large document maps which is possible
        with general-purpose computers if the dimensionality of the
        word category histograms is first reduced with a random
        mapping method and if computationally efficient algorithms
        are used in computing the SOMs.
