A New Method of Automatic Text Document Classification

A New Method of Automatic Text Document Classification This paper describes the procedures and specific features of application of a new method of automatic classification based on calculation of deviations of stop-words distribution from Zipfian score. To neutralize discrepancies in texts lengths the author describes and applies the text undersampling methodology. The concept of an iterative threshold level is introduced to reduce text dimensionality to several dozen units. To evaluate the method’s efficiency the author has developed discriminative and similarative powers indicators that underlie the generalized efficiency score. Fourteen tests have been conducted, including comparison with the cosine similarity measure, that proved high efficiency of the proposed method for the solution of the tasks of authorship attribution of texts of fiction and clusterization of political texts. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Automatic Documentation and Mathematical Linguistics Springer Journals

Abstract

This paper describes the procedures and specific features of application of a new method of automatic classification based on calculation of deviations of stop-words distribution from Zipfian score. To neutralize discrepancies in texts lengths the author describes and applies the text undersampling methodology. The concept of an iterative threshold level is introduced to reduce text dimensionality to several dozen units. To evaluate the method’s efficiency the author has developed discriminative and similarative powers indicators that underlie the generalized efficiency score. Fourteen tests have been conducted, including comparison with the cosine similarity measure, that proved high efficiency of the proposed method for the solution of the tasks of authorship attribution of texts of fiction and clusterization of political texts.
