Abstract

Requiring only category names as user input is a highly attractive, yet hardly explored, setting for text categorization. Earlier bootstrapping results relied on similarity in LSA space, which captures rather coarse contextual similarity. We suggest improving this scheme by identifying concrete references to the category name's meaning, obtaining a special variant of lexical expansion.

We explore the situation in which documents have to be categorized into more than one category system, a situation we refer to as multiple-view categorization. More particularly, we address the case where two different categorizers have already been ...
Text Categorization from category name in an industry-motivated scenario

In this work we suggest a novel Text Categorization (TC) scenario, motivated by an ad-hoc industrial need to assign documents to a set of predefined categories, while labeled training data for the categories is not available. The scenario is applicable ...

Text categorization pertains to the automatic learning of a text categorization model from a training set of preclassified documents on the basis of their contents and the subsequent assignment of unclassified documents to appropriate categories. Most ...
