Document exploration in archives is often challenging due to the lack of organization in topic-based categories.

This paper proposes and explores a dataless categorization approach that utilizes word embeddings and TF-IDF to categorize archival documents.

Abstract

Document exploration in archives is often challenging due to the lack of organization in topic-based categories. Moreover, archival records only provide short text which is often insufficient for capturing the semantic. This paper proposes and explores a dataless categorization approach that utilizes word embeddings and TF-IDF to categorize archival documents. Additionally, it introduces a visual approach built on top of the word embeddings to enhance the exploration of data. Preliminary results suggest that current vector representations alone do not provide enough external knowledge to solve this task.
