Text categorization is the problem of classifying text documents into a set of predefined classes. In this paper, we investigated two approaches: a) to develop a classifier for text document based on Naive Bayes Theory and b) to integrate this classifier into a meta-classifier in order to increase the classification accuracy. The basic idea is to learn a meta-classifier to optimally select the best component classifier for each data point. The experimental results show that combining classifiers can significantly improve the classification accuracy and that our improved meta-classification strategy gives better results than each individual classifier. For Reuters2000 text documents we obtained classification accuracies up to 93.87%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
