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.

Abstract

Automatic categorization is a viable method to deal with the scaling problem on the World Wide Web. For Web site classification, this paper proposes the use of Web pages linked with the home page in a different manner from the sole use of home pages in previous research. To implement our proposed method, we derive a scheme for Web site classification based on the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) approach. It consists of three phases: Web page selection (connectivity analysis), Web page classification, and Web site classification. Given a Web site, the Web page selection chooses several representative Web pages using connectivity analysis. The k-NN classifier next classifies each of the selected Web pages. Finally, the classified Web pages are extended to a classification of the entire Web site. To improve performance, we supplement the k-NN approach with a feature selection method and a term weighting scheme using markup tags, and also reform its document-document similarity measure. In our experiments on a Korean commercial Web directory, the proposed system, using both a home page and its linked pages, improved the performance of micro-averaging breakeven point by 30.02%, compared with an ordinary classification which uses a home page only.

Abstract

The progressive increase of information content has recently made it necessary to create a system for automatic classification of documents. In this article, a system is presented for the categorization of multiclass Farsi documents that requires fewer training examples and can help to compensate the shortcoming of the standard training dataset. The new idea proposed in the present article is based on extending the feature vector by adding some words extracted from a thesaurus and then filtering the new feature vector by applying secondary feature selection to discard inappropriate features. In fact, a phase of secondary feature selection is applied to choose more appropriate features among the features added from a thesaurus to enhance the effect of using a thesaurus on the efficiency of the classifier. To evaluate the proposed system, a corpus is gathered from the Farsi Wikipedia website and some articles in the Hamshahri newspaper, the Roshd periodical, and the Soroush magazine. In addition to studying the role of a thesaurus and applying secondary feature selection, the effect of a various number of categories, size of the training dataset, and average number of words in the test data also are examined. As the results indicate, classification efficiency improves by applying this approach, especially when available data is not sufficient for some text categories.

Abstract

Hierarchical text classification or simply hierarchical classification refers to assigning a document to one or more suitable categories from a hierarchical category space. In our literature survey, we have found that the existing hierarchical classification experiments used a variety of measures to evaluate performance. These performance measures often assume independence between categories and do not consider documents misclassified into categories that are similar or not far from the correct categories in the category tree. In this paper, we therefore propose new performance measures for hierarchicai classification. The proposed performance measures consist of category similarity measures and distance-based measures that consider the contributions of misclassified documents. Our experiments an hierarchical classification methods based an SVM classifiers and binary Naive Bayes classifiers showed that SVM classifiers perform better than Naive Bayes classifiers an Reuters-21578 collection according to the extended measures. A new classifier-centric measure called blocking measure is also defined to examine the performance of subtree classifiers in a top-down levelbased hierarchical classificatIon method.

Abstract

Topic discovery is an important means for marketing, e-Business and social science studies. As well, it can be applied to various purposes, such as identifying a group with certain properties and observing the emergence and diminishment of a certain cyber community. Previous topic discovery work (J.M. Kleinberg, Proceedings of the 9th Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, San Francisco, California, p. 668) requires manual judgment of usefulness of outcomes and is thus incapable of handling the explosive growth of the Internet. In this paper, we propose the Automatic Topic Discovery (ATD) method, which combines a method of base set construction, a clustering algorithm and an iterative principal eigenvector computation method to discover the topics relevant to a given query without using manual examination. Given a query, ATD returns with topics associated with the query and top representative pages for each topic. Our experiments show that the ATD method performs better than the traditional eigenvector method in terms of computation time and topic discovery quality.

Abstract

The automated categorization (or classification) of texts into predefined categories has witnessed a booming interest in the last 10 years, due to the increased availability of documents in digital form and the ensuing need to organize them. In the research community the dominant approach to this problem is based an machine learning techniques: a general inductive process automatically builds a classifier by learning, from a set of preclassified documents, the characteristics of the categories. The advantages of this approach over the knowledge engineering approach (consisting in the manual definition of a classifier by domain experts) are a very good effectiveness, considerable savings in terms of expert labor power, and straightforward portability to different domains. This survey discusses the main approaches to text categorization that fall within the machine learning paradigm. We will discuss in detail issues pertaining to three different problems, namely, document representation, classifier construction, and classifier evaluation.

Abstract

In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis and extensive experiments on the automated assignment of Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) classes to bibliographic data with a supervised machine-learning approach. Library classification systems, such as the DDC, impose great obstacles on state-of-art text categorization (TC) technologies, including deep hierarchy, data sparseness, and skewed distribution. We first analyze statistically the document and category distributions over the DDC, and discuss the obstacles imposed by bibliographic corpora and library classification schemes on TC technology. To overcome these obstacles, we propose an innovative algorithm to reshape the DDC structure into a balanced virtual tree by balancing the category distribution and flattening the hierarchy. To improve the classification effectiveness to a level acceptable to real-world applications, we propose an interactive classification model that is able to predict a class of any depth within a limited number of user interactions. The experiments are conducted on a large bibliographic collection created by the Library of Congress within the science and technology domains over 10 years. With no more than three interactions, a classification accuracy of nearly 90% is achieved, thus providing a practical solution to the automatic bibliographic classification problem.

Abstract

We present a Life-Long Learning from Mistakes (3LM) algorithm for document classification, which could be used in various scenarios such as spam filtering, blog classification, and web resource categorization. We extend the ideas of online clustering and batch-mode centroid-based classification to online learning with negative feedback. The 3LM is a competitive learning algorithm, which avoids over-smoothing, characteristic of the centroid-based classifiers, by using a different class representative, which we call clusterhead. The clusterheads competing for vector-space dominance are drawn toward misclassified documents, eventually bringing the model to a "balanced state" for a fixed distribution of documents. Subsequently, the clusterheads oscillate between the misclassified documents, heuristically minimizing the rate of misclassifications, an NP-complete problem. Further, the 3LM algorithm prevents over-fitting by "leashing" the clusterheads to their respective centroids. A clusterhead provably converges if its class can be separated by a hyper-plane from all other classes. Lifelong learning with fixed learning rate allows 3LM to adapt to possibly changing distribution of the data and continually learn and unlearn document classes. We report on our experiments, which demonstrate high accuracy of document classification on Reuters21578, OHSUMED, and TREC07p-spam datasets. The 3LM algorithm did not show over-fitting, while consistently outperforming centroid-based, Naïve Bayes, C4.5, AdaBoost, kNN, and SVM whose accuracy had been reported on the same three corpora.
