Hi All,
I wanted to know then possibilities one has in order to generate
topic maps from a given source of textual documents. So what I will have is
a text source and what I am interesting in doing is to generate topic maps
between "certain" topics. For simplicity the topics among which I need to
draw associations are limited and are pre-defined (at the time of providing
the textual sources).
I think this would certainly require some NLP etc. but that too
is new for me. Also what are the possibilities that some machine learning
algorithm can be applied so that the system betters the associations (and
hence the quality of topic maps) whenever provided with more sample sets (in
this case more textual information related to the topics).
Hope to get some suggestions from you all..
Best Wishes,
-Aayush
