“…For example, the accuracy of RI is comparable to SVD-based methods in a TOEFL synonym identification task [31], and that result has been further improved in the case of RI [45]. RI of co-occurrence matrices for semantic analysis works surprisingly well [11,30,43,52], and the method has been adopted in other applications, such as indexing of literature databases [54], event detection in blogs [26], web user clustering and page prefetching [57], graph searching for the semantic web [12], diagnosis code assignment to patients [24], predicting speculation in biomedical literature [55] and failure prediction [19]. In general, there is an increasing interest for randomisation in information processing because it enables the use of simple algorithms, which can be organised to exploit parallel computation in an efficient way [6,22].…”
