Abstract

In the automated text classification, a bag-of-words representation followed by the tfidf weighting is the most popular approach to convert the textual documents into various numeric vectors for the induction of classifiers. In this chapter, we explore the potential of enriching the document representation with the semantic information systematically discovered at the document sentence level. The salient semantic information is searched using a frequent word sequence method. Different from the classic tfidf weighting scheme, a probability based term weighting scheme which directly reflect the term’s strength in representing a specific category has been proposed. The experimental study based on the semantic enriched document representation and the newly proposed probability based term weighting scheme has shown a significant improvement over the classic approach, i.e., bag-of-words plus tfidf, in terms of Fscore. This study encourages us to further investigate the possibility of applying the semantic enriched document representation over a wide range of text based mining tasks.
