Example of a Term-Context Co-occurrence Matrix (wordspace)

Description

This matrix is a typical example of a term-context DSM co-occurrence matrix, derived from the English Wikipedia. It is available as a plain matrix in sparse representation, and as DSM object including marginal frequency data.

Usage

DSM_TermContextMatrix

DSM_TermContext

Format

DSM_TermContextMatrix is a sparse numeric matrix of class dgCMatrix with 7 rows and 7 columns.

Rows represent the target nouns cat, dog, animal, time, reason, cause, effect.

Examples

DSM_TermContextMatrix["time", ] # row vector for target noun "time"

all.equal(DSM_TermContextMatrix, head(DSM_TermContext, Inf))

# M M' = symmetric matrix of co-occurrence frequencies of nouns within articles
