In this paper, we introduce Sequential Classifiers Combination (SCC) into text categorization to improve both the classification effectiveness and classification efficiency of the combined individual classifiers. We apply two classifiers sequentially for experimental study, where the first classifier (called filtering classifier) is used to generate candidate categories for the test document an...

An investigation has been conducted on two well known similarity-based learning approaches to text categorization: the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) classifier and the Rocchio classifier. After identifying the weakness and strength of each technique, a new classifier called the kNN model-based classifier (kNNModel) has been proposed. It combines the strength of both k-NN and Rocchio. A text categor...

An investigation has been conducted on two well known similarity-based learning approaches to text categorization. This includes the k-nearest neighbor (kNN) classifier and the Rocchio classifier. After identifying the weakness and strength of each technique, we propose a new classifier called the kNN model-based classifier by unifying the strengths of k-NN and Rocchio classifier and adapting t...

In this paper, we propose and evaluate approaches to categorizing Chinese texts, which consist of term extraction, term selection, term clustering and text classification. We propose a scalable approach which uses frequency counts to identify left and right boundaries of possibly significant terms. We used the combination of term selection and term clustering to reduce the dimension of the vect...

Text Categorization (classification) is the process of classifying documents into a predefined set of categories based on their content. In this paper, an intelligent Arabic text categorization system is presented. Machine learning algorithms are used in this system. Many algorithms for stemming and feature selection are tried. Moreover, the document is represented using several term weighting ...

In this paper, we present an investigation into the combination of four different classification methods for text categorization using Dempster's rule of combination. These methods include the Support Vector Machine, kNN (nearest neighbours), kNN model-based approach (kNNM), and Rocchio methods. We first present an approach for effectively combining the different classification methods. We then...

In linear text classification, user feedback is usually used to tune up the representative keywords (RK) for a certain class. Despite some algorithms (e.g. Rocchio) deal well with user positive and negative feedback to adjust the RKs, few researches have investigated how to adjust RKs only based on a small positive responses which is a popular case in the real-world application (e.g. users tend...

This paper proposes a new approach for text categorization, based on a feature projection technique. In our approach, training data are represented as the projections of training documents on each feature. The voting for a classification is processed on the basis of individual feature projections. The final classification of test documents is determined by a majority voting from the individual ...

The use of semantics in supervised text classification can improve its effectiveness especially in specific domains. Most state of the art works use concepts as an alternative to words in order to transform the classical bag of words (BOW) into a Bag of concepts (BOC). This transformation is done through conceptualization task. Furthermore, the resulting BOC can be enriched using other related ...
