Abstract
In this report we show how to use the position of words in a text for characterizing the topic of the text, and compare our method to measures that use frequency statistics that are independent of word position. We show that word position information produces words that are more suited for characterizing topics and at the same time relies on a vocabulary size that is as little as 10% of the size used by the other measures.
