"text": "We are concerned here with the issue of classifying documents into categories. More precisely, we begin with a number of categories (e.g., 'tennis, soccer, skiing'), each already containing certain documents. Our goal is to determine into which categories newly given documents ought to be assigned, and to do so on the basis of the distribution of each document's words. 1 Many methods have been proposed to address this issue, and a number of them have proved to be quite effective (e.g., (Apte, Damerau, and Weiss, 1994; Cohen and Singer, 1996; Lewis, 1992; Lewis and Ringuette, 1994; Lewis et al., 1996; Schutze, Hull, and Pedersen, 1995; Yang and Chute, 1994) ). The simple method of conducting hypothesis testing over word-based distributions in categories (defined in Section 2) is not efficient in storage and suffers from the data sparseness problem, i.e., the number of parameters in the distributions is large and the data size is not sufficiently large for accurately estimating them. In order to address this difficulty, (Guthrie, Walker, and Guthrie, 1994) have proposed using distributions based on what we refer to as hard 1A related issue is the retrieval, from a data base, of documents which are relevant to a given query (pseudodocument) (e.g., (Deerwester et al., 1990; Fuhr, 1989; Robertson and Jones, 1976; Salton and McGill, 1983; Wong and Yao, 1989) ).",

Guthrie et. al. have devised a way suitable to documentation classification.

Letting L and M be given positive integers, HCM creates three clusters: kl, k2 and k3, in which kl contains those words which are among the L most frequent words in cl, and not among the M most frequent in c2; k2 contains those words which are among the L most frequent words in cs, and not among the M most frequent in Cl; and k3 contains all remaining words (see Tab. 2).

Described in linguistic terms, a cluster corresponds to a topic and the words assigned to it are related to that topic. Though documents generally concentrate on a single topic, they may sometimes refer for a time to others, and while a document is discussing any one topic, it will naturally tend to use words strongly related to that topic. A document in the category of 'tennis' is more likely to discuss the topic of 'tennis,' i.e., to use words strongly related to 'tennis,' but it may sometimes briefly shift to the topic of 'soccer,' i.e., use words strongly related to 'soccer.' A human can follow the sequence of words in such a document, associate them with related topics, and use the distributions of topics to classify the document. Thus the use of the finite mixture model can be considered as a stochastic implementation of this process.",

As a first data set, we used a subset of the Reuters newswire data prepared by Lewis, called Reuters-21578 Distribution 1.0. 7 We selected nine overlapping categories, i.e. in which a document may be-rReuters-21578 is available at http://www.research.att.com/lewis. long to several different categories. We adopted the Lewis Split in the corpus to obtain the training data and the test data. Tabs. 12 and 13 give the details. We did not conduct stemming, or use stop words s. We then applied FMM, HCM, WBM , and a method based on cosine-similarity, which we denote as COS 9, to conduct binary classification. In particular, we learn the distribution for each category and that for its complement category from the training data, and then determine whether or not to classify into each category the documents in the test data. When applying FMM, we used our proposed method of creating clusters in Section 4 and set 7 to be 0, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, because these are representative values. For HCM, we classified words in the same way as in FMM and set 7 to be 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 0.95. (Notice that in HCM, 7 cannot be set less than 0.5.) As a second data set, we used the entire Reuters-21578 data with the Lewis Split. Tab. 14 gives the details. Again, we did not conduct stemming, or use stop words. We then applied FMM, HCM, WBM , and COS to conduct binary classification. When applying FMM, we used our proposed method of creating clusters and set 7 to be 0, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7.
