This is another problem you can actually do pretty
well in Lucene itself.  Either index with your usual
analyzer or use the n-gram analyzers we wrote about
in LingPipe in Action.

Then create an index with a single pseudo-document
per topic, containing all the text you want to use
to train the topic.

Then run the document to classify as a query against
the index, and the highest scoring pseudo-document
is the most likely category according to token
match.

You could also check out our more probabilistic
classifiers.  For instance, we have a classification
by topic demo:

http://www.alias-i.com/lingpipe/demos/tutorial/classify/read-me.html

And just about every other natural language platform
and most machine learning platforms do classificaton
(e.g. Mallet and MinorThird, both in Java).  For
general structured classification problems, you
might want to check out Weka.

No, I'm sure Bob meant to say "Lucene in Action" in which he  
contributed a wonderful case study on bits of LingPipe.

Does this book really exit? I googled and didn't find any introduction about
it :)
