Enhancing latent semantic analysis (LSA) using tagging algorithm in retrieving Malay documents / Afiqah Bazlla Md Soom

Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) algorithm is a mathematical approach that uses Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to discover the important association of the relationship between terms and terms, terms and documents and also documents and documents. Furthermore, LSA uses cosine similarity measuremen...
