2 What Has Been Done Extensive Research into the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms has been performed –Train System on expert created taxonomy with expert specified documents
3
3 What We Did Train system on a domain specific taxonomy –Eg. CNN’s Sports Pages Test system’s ability to correctly classify documents from a second, yet similar taxonomy –Eg. Yahoo! Sports Pages
4
4 Automatic Text Classification via Statistical Methods Text Categorization is the problem of assigning predefined categories to free text documents. Statistical Learning Methods used in ApMl Bayes Method Rocchio Method (most popular) K-Nearest Neighbor Classification Probabilistic Indexing
5
5 A Probabilistic Generative Model Define a probabilistic generative model for documents with classes. Bayes: Reinforcement Learning: a Survey This paper surveys the field of rein- forcement learning from a computer science perspective. 35 a 1 block 12 computer 4 field 1 leg 7 machine 44 of 3 paper 2 perspective 1 rate 5 reinforcement 9 science 2 survey 56 the 11 this 1 underrated … “Bag-of-words” Automatic Text Classification through Machine Learning, McCallum, et. al.
6
6 Bayes Method Pick the most probable class, given the evidence: - a class (like “Planning”) - a document (like “language intelligence proof...”) Bayes Rule: Probability Category c j should be assigned to document d Automatic Text Classification through Machine Learning, McCallum, et. al.
7
7 Bayes Rule - Probability that document d belongs to category c j - Probability that a randomly picked document has the same attributes - Probability that a randomly picked document belongs to this category - Probability that category c contains document d
8
8 Bayes Method Generates conditional probabilities of particular words occurring in a document given it belongs to a particular category. Larger vocabulary generate better probabilities Each category is given a threshold p for which it judges the worthiness of a document to fall in that classification. Documents may fall into one, more than one, or not even one category.
9
9 Rocchio Method Each document is D is represented as a vector within a given vector space V: Documents with similar content have similar vectors Each dimension of the vector space represents a word selected via a feature selection process
10
10 Rocchio Method Values of d (i) for a document d are calculated as a combination of the statistics TF(w,d) and DF(w) TF(w,d) (Term Frequency) is the number of times word w occurs in a document d. DF(w) (Document Frequency) is the number of documents in which the word w occurs at least once.
11
11 Rocchio Method The inverse document frequency is calculated as Value of d (i) of feature w i for a document d is calculated as the product d (i) is called the weight of the word w i in the document d.
12
12 Rocchio Method Based on word weight heuristics, the word w i is an important indexing term for a document d if it occurs frequently in that document However, words that occurs frequently in many document spanning many categories are rated less importantly

13 K-Nearest Neighbor Features –All instances correspond to points in an n- dimensional Euclidean space –Classification is delayed till a new instance arrives –Classification done by comparing feature vectors of the different points –Target function may be discrete or real- valued K-Nearest Neighbor Learning, Dipanjan Chakraborty
14
14 1-Nearest Neighbor K-Nearest Neighbor Learning, Dipanjan Chakraborty
15
15 K-Nearest Neighbor An arbitrary instance is represented by (a 1 (x), a 2 (x), a 3 (x),.., a n (x)) –a i (x) denotes features Euclidean distance between two instances d(x i, x j )=sqrt (sum for r=1 to n (a r (x i ) - a r (x j )) 2 ) Find the k-nearest neighbors whose distance from your test cases falls within a threshold p. If x of those k-nearest neighbors are in category c i, then assign the test case to c i, else it is unmatched. K-Nearest Neighbor Learning, Dipanjan Chakraborty
16
16 Probabilistic Indexing Goal is to estimate P(C|s i, d m ) –Probability that assignment of term s i to the document d m is correct Once terms have been identified, assign Form Of Occurrence (FOC) –Certainty that term is correctly indentified –Significance of Term
17
17 Probabilistic Indexing Cont. If term t appears in document d and a term descriptor from t to s exists, s an indexing term, then generate a descriptor indictor Set of generated term descriptors can be evaluated and a probability calculated that document d lies in class c

26 Effectiveness: Contingency Table Machine Learning for Text Classification, David D. Lewis, AT&T Labs
27
27 precision = a/(a+b) –Documents classified correctly vs. All classified as a particular category recall = a/(a+c) –Documents classified correctly vs. All that should have been classified in a category accuracy = (a+d)/(a+b+c+d) –All documents classified as positive or negative in a category correctly vs All classified Effectiveness Measures Machine Learning for Text Classification, David D. Lewis, AT&T Labs

38 Trends of Results K Nearest Neighbor effectiveness was significantly lower than other algorithms –continuously categorize the same The class of Health was much more difficult for the algorithms to correctly categorize –children’s health a non-gender class No improvement in our results with additional training
39
39 Conclusions Results of automatic text categorization are subjective Trends can occur because of various factors Heterogeneous taxonomies can be used for automatic classification with acceptable efficiencies More research needed
