Abstract
Although dimension reduction techniques for text documents can be used for preprocessing of blogs, these techniques will be more effective if they deal with the nature of the blogs properly. In this paper we propose a shallow summarization method for blogs as a preprocessing step for blog mining which benefits from specific characteristics of the blogs including blog themes, time interval between posts, and body-title composition of the posts. We use our method for summarizing a collection of Persian blogs from PersianBlog hosting and investigate its influence on blog clustering.
