Program electronic library and information systemsAn algorithm for suffix stripping
8,136 Citations1980Martin Porter
An algorithm for suffix stripping is described, which has been implemented as a short, fast program in BCPL, and performs slightly better than a much more elaborate system with which it has been compared.

SVMs achieve substantial improvements over the currently best performing methods and behave robustly over a variety of di-erent learning tasks, eliminating the need for manual parameter tuning.
ACM Computing SurveysMachine learning in automated text categorization
7,899 Citations2002Fabrizio Sebastiani
This survey discusses the main approaches to text categorization that fall within the machine learning paradigm and discusses in detail issues pertaining to three different problems, namely, document representation, classifier construction, and classifier evaluation.

An approach based on space density computations is used to choose an optimum indexing vocabulary for a collection of documents, demonstating the usefulness of the model.
A Comparative Study on Feature Selection in Text Categorization
4,766 Citations1997Yiming Yang, Jan Pedersen
DF thresholding, the simplest method with the lowest cost in computation, can be reliably used instead of IG or CHI when the computation of these measures are too expensive, and strong correlations between the DF, IG and CHI values of a term are found.
The LancetEffect of clinical guidelines on medical practice: a systematic review of rigorous evaluations
2,811 Citations1993Jeremy Grimshaw, Ian Russell
It is concluded that explicit guidelines do improve clinical practice, when introduced in the context of rigorous evaluations, however, the size of the improvements in performance varied considerably.
Hierarchically Classifying Documents Using Very Few Words
840 Citations1997Daphne Koller, Mehran Sahami
This work proposes an approach that utilizes the hierarchical topic structure to decompose the classification task into a set of simpler problems, one at each node in the classification tree, which can be solved accurately by focusing only on a very small set of features, those relevant to the task at hand.
Hierarchical classification of Web content
805 Citations2000Susan Dumais, Hao Chen
This paper explores the use of hierarchical structure for classifying a large, heterogeneous collection of web content using support vector machine (SVM) classifiers, which have been shown to be efficient and effective for classification, but not previously explored in the context of hierarchical classification.

The structure that is present in the semantic space of topics is used in order to improve performance in text categorization: according to their meaning, topics can be grouped together into “meta-topics”, e.g., gold, silver, and copper are all metals.

126 Citations1990William Hersh, Robert A. Greenes
A main feature of the program is a concept-finding algorithm that processes free text to find canonical concepts that allows natural language to be used for query input and also serves as the basis for a new approach to automatic indexing based on a combination of probabilistic and linguistic methods.
