Abstract

This article describes a system that automatically classifies e-mail messages in the HUMANIST electronic discussion group into one of 4 classes: questions, responses, announcement or administartive. A total of 1.372 messages were analyzed. The automatic classification of a message was based on string matching between a message text and predefined string sets for each of the massage types. The system's automated ability to accurately classify a message was compared against manually assigned codes. The Cohen's Kappa of .55 suggested that there was a statistical agreement between the automatic and manually assigned codes

Abstract

Information retrieval over the Internet increasingly requires the filtering of thousands of heterogeneous information sources. Important sources of information include not only traditional databases with structured data and queries, but also increasing numbers of non-traditional, semi- or unstructured collections such as Web sites, FTP archives, etc. As the number and variability of sources increases, new ways of automatically summarizing, discovering, and selecting collections relevant to a user's query are needed. One such method involves the use of classification schemes, such as the Library of Congress Classification (LCC) [10], within which a collection may be represented based on its content, irrespective of the structure of the actual data or documents. For such a system to be useful in a large-scale distributed environment, it must be easy to use for both collection managers and users. As a result, it must be possible to classify documents automatically within a classification scheme. Furthermore, there must be a straightforward and intuitive interface with which the user may use the scheme to assist in information retrieval (IR).

Abstract

The automated categorisation (or classification) of texts into topical categories has a long history, dating back at least to 1960. Until the late '80s, the dominant approach to the problem involved knowledge-engineering automatic categorisers, i.e. manually building a set of rules encoding expert knowledge an how to classify documents. In the '90s, with the booming production and availability of on-line documents, automated text categorisation has witnessed an increased and renewed interest. A newer paradigm based an machine learning has superseded the previous approach. Within this paradigm, a general inductive process automatically builds a classifier by "learning", from a set of previously classified documents, the characteristics of one or more categories; the advantages are a very good effectiveness, a considerable savings in terms of expert manpower, and domain independence. In this tutorial we look at the main approaches that have been taken towards automatic text categorisation within the general machine learning paradigm. Issues of document indexing, classifier construction, and classifier evaluation, will be touched upon.

Abstract

In practical text classification tasks, the ability to interpret the classification result is as important as the ability to classify exactly. Associative classifiers have many favorable characteristics such as rapid training, good classification accuracy, and excellent interpretation. However, associative classifiers also have some obstacles to overcome when they are applied in the area of text classification. The target text collection generally has a very high dimension, thus the training process might take a very long time. We propose a feature selection based on the mutual information between the word and class variables to reduce the space dimension of the associative classifiers. In addition, the training process of the associative classifier produces a huge amount of classification rules, which makes the prediction with a new document ineffective. We resolve this by introducing a new efficient method for storing and pruning classification rules. This method can also be used when predicting a test document. Experimental results using the 20-newsgroups dataset show many benefits of the associative classification in both training and predicting when applied to a real world problem.

Abstract

In this article, we propose a new concept-based method for document classification. The conceptual knowledge associated with the words is drawn from Wikipedia. The purpose is to utilize the abundant semantic relatedness information available in Wikipedia in an efficient value function-based query learning algorithm. The procedure learns the value function by solving a simple linear programming problem formulated using the training documents. The learning involves a step-wise iterative process that helps in generating a value function with an appropriate set of concepts (dimensions) chosen from a collection of concepts. Once the value function is formulated, it is utilized to make a decision between relevance and irrelevance. The value assigned to a particular document from the value function can be further used to rank the documents according to their relevance. Reuters newswire documents have been used to evaluate the efficacy of the procedure. An extensive comparison with other frameworks has been performed. The results are promising.

Abstract

The classification of documents from a bibliographic database is a task that is linked to processes of information retrieval based on partial matching. A method is described of vectorizing reference documents from LISA which permits their topological organization using Kohonen's algorithm. As an example a map is generated of 202 documents from LISA, and an analysis is made of the possibilities of this type of neural network with respect to the development of information retrieval systems based on graphical browsing.

Abstract

With the increase of information on the Web, it is difficult to find desired information quickly out of the documents retrieved by a search engine. One way to solve this problem is to classify web documents according to various criteria. Most document classification has been focused on a subject or a topic of a document. A genre or a style is another view of a document different from a subject or a topic. The genre is also a criterion to classify documents. In this paper, we suggest multiple sets of features to classify genres of web documents. The basic set of features, which have been proposed in the previous studies, is acquired from the textual properties of documents, such as the number of sentences, the number of a certain word, etc. However, web documents are different from textual documents in that they contain URL and HTML tags within the pages. We introduce new sets of features specific to web documents, which are extracted from URL and HTML tags. The present work is an attempt to evaluate the performance of the proposed sets of features, and to discuss their characteristics. Finally, we conclude which is an appropriate set of features in automatic genre classification of web documents.

Abstract

It is shown that the cognitive paradigm may be an orientation mark for automatic classification. On the basis of research in Artificial Intelligence, the cognitive paradigm - as opposed to the behavioristic paradigm - was developed as a multiplicity of competitive world-views. This is the thesis of DeMey in his book "The cognitive paradigm". Multiplicity in a loosely-coupled network of cognitive knots is also the principle of dynamic restlessness. In competititon with cognitive views, a classification system that follows various models may learn by concrete information retrieval. During his actions the user builds implicitly a new classification order

Abstract

Describes an automatic classification system for classifying chemical reactions. A detailed study of the classification of chemical reactions, based on topological and physicochemical features, is followed by an analysis of the hierarchical classification produced by the HORACE algorithm (Hierarchical Organization of Reactions through Attribute and Condition Eduction), which combines both approaches in a synergistic manner. The searching and updating of reaction hierarchies is demonstrated with the hierarchies produced for 2 data sets by the HORACE algorithm. Shows that reaction hierarchies provide an efficient access to reaction information and indicate the main reaction types for a given reaction scheme, define the scope of a reaction type, enable searchers to find unusual reactions, and can help in locating the reactions most relevant for a given problem

Abstract

This paper reports a controlled study with statistical significance tests an five text categorization methods: the Support Vector Machines (SVM), a k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) classifier, a neural network (NNet) approach, the Linear Leastsquares Fit (LLSF) mapping and a Naive Bayes (NB) classifier. We focus an the robustness of these methods in dealing with a skewed category distribution, and their performance as function of the training-set category frequency. Our results show that SVM, kNN and LLSF significantly outperform NNet and NB when the number of positive training instances per category are small (less than ten, and that all the methods perform comparably when the categories are sufficiently common (over 300 instances).

Abstract

Automatic text classification (ATC) is a discipline at the crossroads of information retrieval (IR), machine learning (ML), and computational linguistics (CL), and consists in the realization of text classifiers, i.e. software systems capable of assigning texts to one or more categories, or classes, from a predefined set. Applications range from the automated indexing of scientific articles, to e-mail routing, spam filtering, authorship attribution, and automated survey coding. This article will focus on the ML approach to ATC, whereby a software system (called the learner) automatically builds a classifier for the categories of interest by generalizing from a "training" set of pre-classified texts.

Abstract

There has been considerable interest in recent years in providing automated information services, such as information classification, by means of a society of collaborative agents. These agents augment each other's knowledge structures (e.g., the vocabularies) and assist each other in providing efficient information services to a human user. However, when the number of agents present in the society increases, exhaustive communication and collaboration among agents result in a [arge communication overhead and increased delays in response time. This paper introduces a method to achieve selective interaction with a relatively small number of potentially useful agents, based an simple agent modeling and acquaintance lists. The key idea presented here is that the acquaintance list of an agent, representing a small number of other agents to be collaborated with, is dynamically adjusted. The best acquaintances are automatically discovered using a learning algorithm, based an the past history of collaboration. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate that such dynamically learned acquaintance lists can lead to high quality of classification, while significantly reducing the delay in response time.

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of automatically assigning a Library of Congress Classification (LCC) to a work given its set of Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). LCCs are organized in a tree: The root node of this hierarchy comprises all possible topics, and leaf nodes correspond to the most specialized topic areas defined. We describe a procedure that, given a resource identified by its LCSH, automatically places that resource in the LCC hierarchy. The procedure uses machine learning techniques and training data from a large library catalog to learn a model that maps from sets of LCSH to classifications from the LCC tree. We present empirical results for our technique showing its accuracy an an independent collection of 50,000 LCSH/LCC pairs.

Abstract

Since millions seek health information online, it is vital for this information to be comprehensible. Most studies use readability formulas, which ignore vocabulary, and conclude that online health information is too difficult. We developed a vocabularly-based, naïve Bayes classifier to distinguish between three difficulty levels in text. It proved 98% accurate in a 250-document evaluation. We compared our classifier with readability formulas for 90 new documents with different origins and asked representative human evaluators, an expert and a consumer, to judge each document. Average readability grade levels for educational and commercial pages was 10th grade or higher, too difficult according to current literature. In contrast, the classifier showed that 70-90% of these pages were written at an intermediate, appropriate level indicating that vocabulary usage is frequently appropriate in text considered too difficult by readability formula evaluations. The expert considered the pages more difficult for a consumer than the consumer did.

Abstract

Purpose - With increasing amounts of user generated content being produced electronically in the form of wikis, blogs, forums etc. the purpose of this paper is to investigate a new approach to classifying ad hoc content. Design/methodology/approach - The approach applies natural language processing (NLP) tools to automatically extract the content of some text, visualizing the results in a content cloud. Findings - Content clouds share the visual simplicity of a tag cloud, but display the details of an article at a different level of abstraction, providing a complimentary classification. Research limitations/implications - Provides the general approach to creating a content cloud. In the future, the process can be refined and enhanced by further evaluation of results. Further work is also required to better identify closely related articles. Practical implications - Being able to automatically classify the content generated by web users will enable others to find more appropriate content. Originality/value - The approach is original. Other researchers have produced a cloud, simply by using skiplists to filter unwanted words, this paper's approach improves this by applying appropriate NLP techniques.

Abstract

This case study analyzes the Internet-based resources that a software engineer uses in his daily work. Methodologically, we studied the web browser history of the participant, classifying all the web pages he had seen over a period of 12 days into web genres. We interviewed him before and after the analysis of the web browser history. In the first interview, he spoke about his general information behavior; in the second, he commented on each web genre, explaining why and how he used them. As a result, three approaches allow us to describe the set of 23 web genres obtained: (a) the purposes they serve for the participant; (b) the role they play in the various work and search phases; (c) and the way they are used in combination with each other. Further observations concern the way the participant assesses quality of web-based resources, and his information behavior as a software engineer.

Abstract

Many machine learning algorithms have been applied to text classification tasks. In the machine learning paradigm, a general inductive process automatically builds a text classifier by learning, generally known as supervised learning. However, the supervised learning approaches have some problems. The most notable problem is that they require a large number of labeled training documents for accurate learning. While unlabeled documents are easily collected and plentiful, labeled documents are difficultly generated because a labeling task must be done by human developers. In this paper, we propose a new text classification method based on unsupervised or semi-supervised learning. The proposed method launches text classification tasks with only unlabeled documents and the title word of each category for learning, and then it automatically learns text classifier by using bootstrapping and feature projection techniques. The results of experiments showed that the proposed method achieved reasonably useful performance compared to a supervised method. If the proposed method is used in a text classification task, building text classification systems will become significantly faster and less expensive.
