Hello,

I have a set of Books objects, classs Book is defined as following :

Class Book{

String title;
ArrayList<tags> taglist;

}

Where title is the title of the book, example : Javascript for dummies.

and taglist is a list of tags for our example : Javascript, jquery, "web dev", ..

As I said a have a set of books talking about different things : IT, BIOLOGY, HISTORY, ... Each book has a title and a set of tags describing it..

I have to classify automaticaly those books into separated sets by topic, example :

IT BOOKS :

Java for dummies
Javascript for dummies
Learn flash in 30 days
C++ programming

HISTORY BOOKS :

World wars
America in 1960
Martin luther king's life

BIOLOGY BOOKS :

....

Do you guys know a classification algorithm/method to apply for that kind of problems ?

A solution is to use an external API to define the category of the text, but the problem here is that books are in different languages : french, spanish, english ..
