We report on the application of the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) classification method to the task of categorizing texts according to their register and the style of their author. The SOM has been selected as its performance in various data-mining applications has been found to be highly successful. Here, the method is evaluated against the task of clustering textual data which are corpora of texts written in the Greek language; the parameters used depict linguistically important structural properties of the texts. The experiments reported indicate that the SOM results are equivalent to those generated by statistical methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
