Motivation Text categorization The popularly used tf‧idf method has not shown a uniformly good performance in terms of different data sets
Objectives Text categorization • To propose a new simple supervised term weighting method to improve the terms’ discriminating power for text categorization task • Are supervised term weighting methods better performance than unsupervised ones for TC? • Does the difference between supervised and unsupervised have any relationship with different learning algorithms? • Why is the new supervised method, i.e., tf‧rf, effective for TC?
Methodology Text categorization TF‧RF
Conclusions Not all supervised term weighting methods are superior to unsupervised methods (i.e. tf‧x^2, tf‧ig) An adapted learning method is more important than weighting method The best performance of tf‧rf has been analyzed and explained from cross-method comparison, cross-classifier, and cross-corpus validation
Comments • Advantages • The writing structure of this paper is clear • Applications • Text categorization
