  • A Bootstrapping Approach for Thematic Analysis
    A bootstrapping approach for thematic analysis Olivier Ferret and Brigitte Grau LIMSI-CNRS BP 133 91403 Orsay cedex [ferret,grau]@limsi.fr Abstract Thematic analysis is important for a lot of applications dealing with texts, such as text summarisation or information extraction. But it can be done with a great precision only if it relies on structured knowledge, which is difficult to produce. In this paper, we propose using bootstrapping in order to solve this problem: a first thematic analysis based on a weakly structured source of knowledge, a collocation network, is used for learning explicit topic representations that then support a more precise and a more reliable thematic analysis. 1 Introduction Applications on large text bases, as information retrieval systems, have to deal with topic identification and tracking if they aim at improving their results by presenting retrieved texts in a better way, by highlighting the most relevant passages or the thematic structure of the texts. Information extraction systems would also benefit of a precise topic identification in order to delimit a context for the searched information that gives a mean to reduce ambiguities. A problem such systems have to face consists of detecting thematically coherent pieces of text and identifying their topic, without limitation about the topics that are likely to be found. Detecting coherent pieces of text refers to text segmentation, and when it is applied to large text collections, segmentation method are based on lexical knowledge (Hearst, 1997; Salton, 1996) or on non specialized knowledge as collocation networks, thesaurus or dictionary (Kozima, 1993) when dealing with narratives.

    Natural Language Engineering 1 (1): 1{25. Printed in the United Kingdom 1 °c 2002 Cambridge University Press A Bootstrapping Approach For Robust Topic Analysis O l i v i e r F E R R E T B r i g i t t e G R A U LIMSI-CNRS, BP 133, 91403 Orsay Cedex, France (Received 30 June 2001; revised 31 January 2002 ) Abstract Topic analysis is important for a lot of applications dealing with texts, such as text sum- marization or information extraction. But it can be done with a great precision only if it relies on structured knowledge, which is di±cult to produce on a large scale. In this article, we propose using bootstrapping in order to solve this problem: a ¯rst topic analysis based on a weakly structured source of knowledge, a collocation network, is used for learning explicit topic representations that then support a more precise and a more reliable topic analysis. 1 Introduction The problem we address in this paper is the topic analysis of texts on a large scale. Topic analysis is a kind of paradox: it is a very intuitive process that seems famil- iar to every reader but it is also very di±cult to de¯ne precisely, especially in the ¯eld of linguistics. According to us, topic analysis covers three kinds of problems: topic segmentation, topic identi¯cation and topic structuring of texts. This divi- sion is closely akin to the division into the three following dimensions: syntagmatic, paradigmatic and functional. Topic segmentation consists in delimiting parts of texts that are thematically coherent.
