Computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions and apparatuses categorize documents or corpus of documents. A Tensor Space Model (TSM), which models the text by a higher-order tensor, represents a document or a corpus of documents. Supported by techniques of multilinear algebra, TSM provides a framework for analyzing the multifactor structures. TSM is further supported by operations and presented tools, such as the High-Order Singular Value Decomposition (HOSVD) for a reduction of the dimensions of the higher-order tensor. The dimensionally reduced tensor is compared with tensors that represent possible categories. Consequently, a category is selected for the document or corpus of documents. Experimental results on the dataset for 20 Newsgroups suggest that TSM is advantageous to a Vector Space Model (VSM) for text classification.
