    LSA calculates a measure of similarity for words based on possible occurrence patterns of words in documents and on how often words appear in the same context or together with the same set of common elements.

    Hi To All

    Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) is a mathematical method that tries to bring out latent relationships within a collection of documents. Rather than looking at each document isolated from the others it looks at all the documents as a whole and the terms within them to identify relationships.

    Thanks and Regards
