This paper describes improving in Semantic Mapping, a feature extraction method useful to dimensionality reduction of vectors representing documents of large text collections. This method may be viewed as a specialization of the Random Mapping, method proposed in WEBSOM project. Semantic Mapping, Random Mapping and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) are applied to categorization of document collections using Self-Organizing Maps (SOM). Semantic Mapping generated document representation as good as PCA and much better than Random Mapping.
