Random Indexing and the episodic memory metaphor.Application to text categorization

A model of episodic memory is derived to propose algorithms of text categorization with semantic space models. Performances of two algorithms are contrasted using textual material of the text-mining context ‘DEFT09’. Results confirm that the episodic memory metaphor provides a convenient framework to propose efficient algorithm for text categorization. One algorithm has already been tested with LSA. The present paper extends these algorithms to another model of Word Vector named Random Indexing.
