E-mail categorization using partially related training examples
Maya Sappelli, Suzan Verberne, Wessel Kraaij · 2014
Automatic e-mail categorization with traditional classification methods requires labelling of training data. In a real-life setting, this labelling disturbs the working flow of the user. We argue that it might be helpful to use documents, which are generally well-structured in directories on the file system, as training data for supervised e-mail categorization and thereby reducing the labelling effort required from users. Previous work demonstrated that the characteristics of documents and e-mail messages are too different to use organized documents as training examples for e-mail categorization using traditional supervised classification methods.
