A Two-Stage Classifier with Reject Option for Text Categorisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the usefulness of the reject option in text categorisation systems. The reject option is introduced by allowing a text classifier to withhold the decision of assigning or not a document to any subset of categories, for which the decision is considered not sufficiently reliable. To automatically handle rejections, a two-stage classifier architecture is used, in which documents rejected at the first stage are automatically classified at the second stage, so that no rejections eventually remain. The performance improvement achievable by using the reject option is assessed on a real text categorisation task, using the well known Reuters data set.

Classification with reject option in text categorisation systems
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the potential usefulness of the reject option for text categorisation (TC) tasks. The reject option is a technique used in statistical pattern recognition for improving classification reliability. Our work is motivated by the fact that, although the reject option proved to be useful in several pattern recognition problems, it has not yet been considered for ...
متن کاملThe interaction between classification and reject performance for distance-based reject-option classifiers
Consider the class of problems in which a target class is well defined, and an outlier class is ill-defined. In these cases new outlier classes can appear, or the classconditional distribution of the outlier class itself may be poorly sampled. A strategy to deal with this problem involves a two-stage classifier, in which one stage is designed to perform discrimination between known classes, and...
متن کاملA Two-Stage Classifier for Sentiment Analysis
In this paper, we present a study applying reject option to build a two-stage sentiment polarity classification system. We construct a Naive Bayes classifier at the first stage and a Support Vector Machine at the second stage, in which documents rejected at the first stage are forwarded to be classified at the second stage. The obtained accuracies are comparable to other state-of-the-art result...
متن کاملReject-Optional LVQ-Based Two-Level Classifier to Improve Reliability in Footstep Identification
This paper reports experiments of recognizing walkers based on measurements with a pressure-sensitive EMFi-floor. Identification is based on a twolevel classifier system. The first level performs Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) with a reject option to identify or to reject a single footstep. The second level classifies or rejects a sequence of three consecutive identified footsteps based on ...
متن کاملSparse and Robust Reject Option Classifier using Successive Linear Programming
In this paper, we propose a new sparse and robust reject option classifier based onminimization of l1 regularized risk under double ramp loss Ldr,ρ. We use DC programming to find the risk minimizer. The algorithm solves a sequence of linear programs to learn the reject option classifier. Moreover, we show that the risk under Ldr,ρ is minimized by generalized Bayes classifier in the reject optio...
