Abstract

A document is represented by a network; the nodes represent terms, and the edges represent the co-occurrence of terms. This paper shows that the network has the characteristics of being small world, i.e., highly clustered and short path length. Based on the topology, we can extract important terms, even if they are rare, by measuring their contribution to the graph being small world.
