Abstract

We consider the improvement in accuracy of latent semantic analysis when a part of speech tagger is used to augment a term/document matrix. We first construct an augmented term/document matrix as input into singular value decomposition (SVD). The singular values then serve as principal components for a cosine projection. The results show that the addition of POS tags can decrease ambiguities significantly.
