Topic set refinement

Abstract:

A computing system including one or more processors generates a topic set for a domain. A taxonomic evaluator is executed by the one or more processors to evaluate a set of category clusters generated from domain-specific textual data against a domain-specific taxonomic tree based on a coherency condition and to identify the category clusters that satisfy the coherency condition. The domain-specific taxonomic tree is generated from hierarchical structures of documents relating to the domain. Each identified category cluster is labeled with a label. A topic set creator is executed by the one or more processors to insert the labels of the set of identified category clusters into the topic set for the domain.
