Automatic Classification of Documents Using Word Correlation

Jin-Seop Sin, Chang‐Hun Lee · The Transactions of the Korea Information Processing Society · 1999

In this paper, we propose a new method for automatic classification of web documents using the degree of correlation between words. First, we select keywords from term frequency and inverse document frequency (TF*IDF) and compute the degree of relevance between the keywords in the whole documents,, using the probability model word that was closely connected with them and create a profile that characterizes each class. Finally, if we repeat the above process until lower than threshold value, we will make several profiles which are in keeping with users concern. And, we classified each document with the profiles and compared these with those of other automatic classification methods.
