Weights Space Exploration Using Genetic Algorithms for Meta-classifier in Text Document Classification

Abstract

Automatic document classification has become an important task because of the continually increasing number of text documents with the users have to deal with. The aim of this paper is to develop a non-adaptive meta-classifier for text documents that has an increased classification accuracy. The developed meta-classifier is based on combining some SVM classifiers and a Naïve Bayes classifier. We proposed a new meta-classification method which takes into consideration the corresponding positions and confidence degrees obtained for all the classes. In this work we have tried to find, using Genetic Algorithms, the optimal weighting factors for the values returned by each classifier separately. Consequently, it is possible for the meta-classifier to select as the winner class, a class that is not hierarchized as the first one by any of the compounded classifiers. The experimental results have showed that the classification accuracy can be improved through the proposed method.

“…It provides the means for introducing new information into the population. Finally, the GA tends to converge on an optimal or near-optimal solution through these operators [20][21].…”

Actuator Fault Diagnosis Using Single and Meta-Classification Strategies

“…The current research trends in developing machine learning methods are focused on ideas of improving the general eciency of dierent classication and meta-classication methods. The most important investigations can be found for instance in [30,39,33,38,4,12]. The main directions presented in these studies are concentrated on optimization techniques which are used to tune relevant parameters of the classical methods, e.g.…”

Application of selected classification schemes for fault diagnosis of actuator systems

“…The main directions are concentrated on optimization techniques which are used to tune relevant parameters of the classical methods, e.g. with the use of evolutionary and particle swarm algorithms [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18]. A number of results included in the works show the benefits of using these methods.…”
