Title: | Enhancing naive bayes with various smoothing methods for short text classification | Authors: | Yuan, Quan Cong, Gao Thalmann, Nadia Magnenat |
Keywords: | DRNTU::Engineering::Computer science and engineering | Issue Date: | 2012 | Source: | Yuan, Q., Cong, G., & Thalmann, N. M. (2012). Enhancing naive bayes with various smoothing methods for short text classification. Proceedings of the 21st international conference companion on World Wide Web - WWW '12 Companion, 645-646. | Conference: | International conference companion on World Wide Web (21st : 2012 : Lyon, France) | Abstract: | Partly due to the proliferance of microblog, short texts are becoming prominent. A huge number of short texts are generated every day, which calls for a method that can efficiently accommodate new data to incrementally adjust classification models. Naive Bayes meets such a need. We apply several smoothing models to Naive Bayes for question topic classification, as an example of short text classification, and study their performance. The experimental results on a large real question data show that the smoothing methods are able to significantly improve the question classification performance of Naive Bayes. We also study the effect of training data size, and question length on performance. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/97050 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/11705 |
