When people write about a subject they often use acronyms. Using these as a shorthand makes sense because the alternative is using LONG phrases time and time again. Depending on the subject, different often mutually exclusive acronyms are used. As many of the acronyms are often used together, it helps when you can identify these patterns.
The result is that documents can be identified to be about a particular subject and as a result it enhances the time spend; you will read about things that are of interest.
An other application is when words are used together in a given setting that they can be identified to be about a given subject matter. For translators it means that it helps to choose the correct meaning for a word. When this is done automagically, a correct translation glossary can be loaded.
