Abstract

A method may include receiving, at one or more processors, a current model. The current model may include a group of nodes representing words, at least one cluster of nodes representing related words, and a group of links. Each link may connect two nodes of the group of nodes. Each link may include a corresponding weight. The method may further include applying, by one or more processors, a set of training documents to the model to produce new weights for the group of links to create a new model; and making, by one or more processors, the new model the current model.
