Abstract

Document Classification is a key technique in Information Retrieval. Various techniques have been developed for document classification. Every technique aims for higher accuracy and greater speed. Its performance depends on various parameters like algorithms, size, and type of dataset used. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a prominent technique used for classifying large datasets. This paper attempts to study the effect of Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) on SVM. LSA is used for dimensionality reduction. The performance of SVM is studied on reduced dataset generated by LSA.
