Abstract

A method for categorizing a use scenario of a product is disclosed. The method includes extracting, from a text describing the use scenario of the product, at least one feature tuple capable of characterizing the use scenario and performing a latent semantic association analysis on the at least one feature tuple to obtain a latent topic sequence for the use scenario. Further, the method includes determining a product scenario category to which the use scenario belongs according to the latent topic sequence for the use scenario. Additionally, a corresponding apparatus is also disclosed.
