Abstract

In this paper, we propose a sophisticated technique for topic identification of documents based on event sequences using co-occurrence words. Here we consider each document as an event sequence, each event as a verb and some words correlated with the verb. We propose a new method for topic classification of documents by using Markov stochastic model. We show some experimental results to examine the method.
