Acquaintance: A Novel Vector-Space N-Gram Technique for Document Categorization.
Stephen Phillip Huffman, Marc Damashek · Text REtrieval Conference · 1994
Acquaintance is the name of a novel vector-space n-gram technique for categorizing documents. The technique is completely language independent, highly garble resistant, and computationally simple. An unoptimized version of the algorithm was used to process the TREC database in a very short time.
