The three algorithms are TF-IDF, Latent Semantic Analysis and Latent Dirichlet Allocation. We selected these three algorithms because they are the foundation of semantic classification and they are still widely used in the field of semantic classification. Firstly, this paper exhibits the inner workings of each of the algorithm both in the original authors intuition and the mathematical model utilized. Next, we discuss the advantages of each of the algorithms based on recent and credible research papers and articles. We also critically dissect the limitations of each of the algorithms. Lastly, we provide a general argument on the way forward in improving of the algorithms. This paper aims to give a general understanding on these algorithms which we hope will spur more research in improving the field of semantic classification. © 2017 IEEE. date: 2017 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85047420059&doi=10.1109%2fICBDAA.2017.8284098&partnerID=40&md5=8693fde163723518787fff06ac204563 id_number: 10.1109/ICBDAA.2017.8284098 full_text_status: none publication: 2017 IEEE Conference on Big Data and Analytics, ICBDA 2017 volume: 2018-J pagerange: 1-6 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781538607909 citation: Zubir, W.M.A.M. and Aziz, I.A. and Jaafar, J.
