Automatic classification of documents in a natural language: A conceptual model

A conceptual model is proposed for a system whose function is to solve the problem of automatic classification of text documents in a natural language, i.e., to determine whether a new text document belongs to a predefined class. The functional requirements of the future system are given. Various representations of natural language texts, as well as statistical and logical-combinatorial methods of text analysis, are discussed. This work may be of interest to specialists in natural-language processing, data mining, and computational linguistics.
