Abstract

Automatic indexing is one of the important technologies used for Tex- tual Data Analysis applications. Standard document indexing techniques usually identify the most relevant keywords in the documents. This paper presents an alternative approach that aims at performing document indexing by associating concepts with the document to index instead of extracting keywords out of it. The concepts are extracted out of the EDR Electronic Dictionary that provides a con- cept hierarchy based on hyponym/hypernym relations. An experimental evaluation based on a probabilistic model was performed on a sample of the INSPEC biblio- graphic database and we present the promising results that were obtained during the evaluation experiments.
