Abstract
A lexical mapper enables efficient text mining via use of lexical identifiers such as numerical identifier values. For example, the lexical mapper receives a collection of text-based strings associated with a document. Based on values of the strings, the lexical mapper maps the text-based strings to a set of lexical identifiers. In lieu of using the character strings, text mining applications process the numerical identifier values to analyze the document.
