Abstract

The paper presents a taxonomy that summarises and highlights the major research into Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) based educational applications. The taxonomy identifies five main research themes and emphasises the point that even after more than 15 years of research, much is left to be discovered to bring the LSA theory to maturity. The paper provides a framework for LSA researchers to publish their results in a format that is comprehensive, relatively compact, and useful to other researchers.
