In text categorization, Vector Space Model (VSM) has been widely used for representing documents, in which a document is represented by a vector of terms. Since different terms contribute to a document’s semantics in various degrees, a number of term weighting schemes have been proposed for VSM to improve text categorization performance. Much evidence shows that the performance of a term weighting scheme often varies across different text categorization tasks, while the mechanism underlying variability in a scheme’s performance remains unclear. Moreover, existing schemes often weight a term with respect to a category locally, without considering the global distribution of a term’s occurrences across all categories in a corpus. In this paper, we first systematically examine pros and cons of existing term weighting schemes in text categorization and explore the reasons why some schemes with sound theoretical bases, such as chi-square test and information gain, perform poorly in empirical evaluations. By measuring the concentration that a term distributes across all categories in a corpus, we then propose a series of entropy-based term weighting schemes to measure the distinguishing power of a term in text categorization. Through extensive experiments on five different datasets, the proposed term weighting schemes consistently outperform the state-of-the-art schemes. Moreover, our findings shed new light on how to choose and develop an effective term weighting scheme for a specific text categorization task. 相似文献

In vector space model (VSM), text representation is the task of transforming the content of a textual document into a vector in the term space so that the document could be recognized and classified by a computer or a classifier. Different terms (i.e. words, phrases, or any other indexing units used to identify the contents of a text) have different importance in a text. The term weighting methods assign appropriate weights to the terms to improve the performance of text categorization. In this study, we investigate several widely-used unsupervised (traditional) and supervised term weighting methods on benchmark data collections in combination with SVM and kNN algorithms. In consideration of the distribution of relevant documents in the collection, we propose a new simple supervised term weighting method, i.e. tf.rf, to improve the terms' discriminating power for text categorization task. From the controlled experimental results, these supervised term weighting methods have mixed performance. Specifically, our proposed supervised term weighting method, tf.rf, has a consistently better performance than other term weighting methods while other supervised term weighting methods based on information theory or statistical metric perform the worst in all experiments. On the other hand, the popularly used tf.idf method has not shown a uniformly good performance in terms of different data sets. 相似文献

Massive textual data management and mining usually rely on automatic text classification technology. Term weighting is a basic problem in text classification and directly affects the classification accuracy. Since the traditional TF-IDF (term frequency & inverse document frequency) is not fully effective for text classification, various alternatives have been proposed by researchers. In this paper we make comparative studies on different term weighting schemes and propose a new term weighting scheme, TF-IGM (term frequency & inverse gravity moment), as well as its variants. TF-IGM incorporates a new statistical model to precisely measure the class distinguishing power of a term. Particularly, it makes full use of the fine-grained term distribution across different classes of text. The effectiveness of TF-IGM is validated by extensive experiments of text classification using SVM (support vector machine) and kNN ( k nearest neighbors) classifiers on three commonly used corpora. The experimental results show that TF-IGM outperforms the famous TF-IDF and the state-of-the-art supervised term weighting schemes. In addition, some new findings different from previous studies are obtained and analyzed in depth in the paper. 相似文献

Traditional term weighting schemes in text categorization, such as TF-IDF, only exploit the statistical information of terms in documents. Instead, in this paper, we propose a novel term weighting scheme by exploiting the semantics of categories and indexing terms. Specifically, the semantics of categories are represented by senses of terms appearing in the category labels as well as the interpretation of them by WordNet. Also, the weight of a term is correlated to its semantic similarity with a category. Experimental results on three commonly used data sets show that the proposed approach outperforms TF-IDF in the cases that the amount of training data is small or the content of documents is focused on well-defined categories. In addition, the proposed approach compares favorably with two previous studies. 相似文献

在文本分类的类别数量庞大的情况下,层次分类是一种有效的分类途径。针对层次分类的结构特点,考虑到不同的层次对特征选择和分类方法有不同的要求,提出了新的基于向量空间模型的二重特征选择方法FDS以及层次分类算法HTC。二重特征选择方法对每一层均进行一次特征选择,并逐层改变特征数量和权重计算方法;HTC算法把分别对粗分和细分更有效的类中心向量法与SVM方法相结合。实验表明,该方法相对于平面分类和一般的层次分类方法,有较高的准确率。 相似文献

文本的形式化表示一直是文本分类的重要难题.在被广泛采用的向量空间模型中,文本的每一维特征的权重就是其TFIDF值,这种方法难以突出对文本内容起到关键性作用的特征。提出一种基于关键词语的特征选择及权重计算方案,它利用了文本的结构信息同时运用互信息理论提取出对文本内容起到关键性作用的词语;权重计算则综合了词语位置、词语关系和词语频率等信息,突出了文本中关键词语的贡献,弥补了TFIDF的缺陷。通过采用支持向量机(SVM)分类器进行实验,结果显示提出的Score权重计算法比传统TFIDF法的平均分类准确率要高5%左右。 相似文献

In this paper, we study the theoretical properties of the class feature centroid (CFC) classifier by considering the rate of change of each prototype vector with respect to individual dimensions (terms). We show that CFC is inherently biased toward the larger (dominant majority) classes, which invariably leads to poor performance on class-imbalanced data. CFC also aggressively prune terms that appear across all classes, discarding some non-exclusive but useful terms. To overcome these CFC limitations while retaining its intrinsic and worthy design goals, we propose an improved centroid-based classifier that uses precise term-class distribution properties instead of presence or absence of terms in classes. Specifically, terms are weighted based on the Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence measure between pairs of class-conditional term probabilities; we call this the CFC–KL centroid classifier. We then generalize CFC–KL to handle multi-class data by replacing the KL measure with the multi-class Jensen–Shannon (JS) divergence, called CFC–JS. Our proposed supervised term weighting schemes have been evaluated on 5 datasets; KL and JS weighted classifiers consistently outperformed baseline CFC and unweighted support vector machines (SVM). We also devise a word cloud visualization approach to highlight the important class-specific words picked out by our KL and JS term weighting schemes, which were otherwise obscured by unsupervised term weighting. The experimental and visualization results show that KL and JS term weighting not only notably improve centroid-based classifiers, but also benefit SVM classifiers as well. 相似文献

文本的形式化表示一直是文本检索、自动文摘和搜索引擎等信息检索领域关注的基础性问题。向量空间模型(Vector Space Model) 中的tf.idf文本表示是该领域里得到广泛应用并且取得较好效果的一种文本表示方法。词语在文本集合中的分布比例量上的差异是决定词语表达文本内容的重要因素之一,但现在tf.idf方法无法把握这一因素。针对这个问题,本文引入信息论中信息增益的概念,提出一种对tf.idf的改进方法tf.idf.IG文本表示方法。该方法将词语的信息增益作为一个文本表示的一个因子,来衡量词语在文本集合中分布比例在量上的差异。在文本分类实验中,tf.idf.IG文本表示的向量空间模型的分类效果要好于tf.idf方法,验证了改进方法tf.idf.IG的有效性和可行性。 相似文献

文本表示是使用分类算法处理文本时必不可少的环节,文本表示方法的选择对最终的分类精度起着至关重要的作用。针对经典的特征权重计算方法TFIDF(Term Frequency and Inverted Document Frequency)中存在的不足,提出了一种基于信息熵理论的特征权重算法ETFIDF(Entropy based TFIDF)。ETFIDF不仅考虑特征项在文档中出现的频率及该特征项在训练集中的集中度,而且还考虑该特征项在各个类别中的分散度。实验结果表明,采用ETFIDF计算特征权重可以有效地提高文本分类性能,对ETFIDF与特征选择的关系进行了较详细的理论分析和实验研究。实验结果表明,在文本表示阶段考虑特征与类别的关系可以更为准确地表示文本;如果综合考虑精度与效率两个方面因素,ETFIDF算法与特征选择算法一起采用能够得到更好的分类效果。 相似文献

文本分类是信息检索的关键问题之一.提取更多的可信反例和构造准确高效的分类器是PU(positive andunlabeled)文本分类的两个重要问题.然而,在现有的可信反例提取方法中,很多方法提取的可信反例数量较少,构建的分类器质量有待提高.分别针对这两个重要步骤提供了一种基于聚类的半监督主动分类方法.与传统的反例提取方法不同,利用聚类技术和正例文档应与反例文档共享尽可能少的特征项这一特点,从未标识数据集中尽可能多地移除正例,从而可以获得更多的可信反例.结合SVM 主动学习和改进的Rocchio 构建分类器,并采用改进的TFIDF(term frequency inverse document frequency)进行特征提取,可以显著提高分类的准确度.分别在3 个不同的数据集中测试了分类结果(RCV1,Reuters-21578,20 Newsgoups).实验结果表明,基于聚类寻找可信反例可以在保持较低错误率的情况下获取更多的可信反例,而且主动学习方法的引入也显著提升了分类精度. 相似文献

This paper proposed a new text categorization model based on the combination of modified back propagation neural network (MBPNN)
and latent semantic analysis (LSA). The traditional back propagation neural network (BPNN) has slow training speed and is
easy to trap into a local minimum, and it will lead to a poor performance and efficiency. In this paper, we propose the MBPNN
to accelerate the training speed of BPNN and improve the categorization accuracy. LSA can overcome the problems caused by
using statistically derived conceptual indices instead of individual words. It constructs a conceptual vector space in which
each term or document is represented as a vector in the space. It not only greatly reduces the dimension but also discovers
the important associative relationship between terms. We test our categorization model on 20-newsgroup corpus and reuter-21578
corpus, experimental results show that the MBPNN is much faster than the traditional BPNN. It also enhances the performance
of the traditional BPNN. And the application of LSA for our system can lead to dramatic dimensionality reduction while achieving
good classification results. 相似文献

Term weighting is a strategy that assigns weights to terms to improve the performance of sentiment analysis and other text mining tasks. In this paper, we propose a supervised term weighting scheme based on two basic factors: Importance of a term in a document ( ITD) and importance of a term for expressing sentiment ( ITS), to improve the performance of analysis. For ITD, we explore three definitions based on term frequency. Then, seven statistical functions are employed to learn the ITS of each term from training documents with category labels. Compared with the previous unsupervised term weighting schemes originated from information retrieval, our scheme can make full use of the available labeling information to assign appropriate weights to terms. We have experimentally evaluated the proposed method against the state-of-the-art method. The experimental results show that our method outperforms the method and produce the best accuracy on two of three data sets. 相似文献

Text categorization is widely used when organizing documents in a digital form. Due to the increasing number of documents in digital form, automated text categorization has become more promising in the last ten years. A major problem of text categorization is its large number of features. Most of those are irrelevant noise that can mislead the classifier. Therefore, feature selection is often used in text categorization to reduce the dimensionality of the feature space and to improve performance. In this study, two-stage feature selection and feature extraction is used to improve the performance of text categorization. In the first stage, each term within the document is ranked depending on their importance for classification using the information gain (IG) method. In the second stage, genetic algorithm (GA) and principal component analysis (PCA) feature selection and feature extraction methods are applied separately to the terms which are ranked in decreasing order of importance, and a dimension reduction is carried out. Thereby, during text categorization, terms of less importance are ignored, and feature selection and extraction methods are applied to the terms of highest importance; thus, the computational time and complexity of categorization is reduced. To evaluate the effectiveness of dimension reduction methods on our purposed model, experiments are conducted using the k-nearest neighbour (KNN) and C4.5 decision tree algorithm on Reuters-21,578 and Classic3 datasets collection for text categorization. The experimental results show that the proposed model is able to achieve high categorization effectiveness as measured by precision, recall and F-measure. 相似文献
