The article erroneously defines the subject as being Wikipedia-specific. A Google search quickly verifies that ESA is a generic term, and is not limited to a particular corpus. The webpage http://regularlyexpressed.com/using-explicit-semantic-analysis-to-discover-meaningful-relatedness/, presents a generic definition:

Explicit Semantic Analysis (ESA) is a data-based approach to finding similarities between two text documents. The basic idea is that two documents are similar if the most important words in document A are strongly semantically related to the most important words in document B.

Please delete, as the whole article is in error and therefore miseducates readers. The Transhumanist 21:38, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
