Abstract

The paper presents a module for topic identification that is embedded into a complex system for acquisition and storing large volumes of text data from the Web. The module processes each of the acquired data items and assigns keywords to them from a defined topic hierarchy that was developed for this purposes and is also described in the paper. The quality of the topic identification is evaluated in two ways - using classic precision-recall measures and also indirectly, by measuring the ASR performance of the topic-specific language models that are built using the automatically filtered data.
