1 Learg wh Ulabeled Daa for Tex Caegorzao Usg Boosrappg ad Feaure Proeo Tehques Yougoog Ko Dep. of Copuer See, Sogag Uv. Ssu-dog, Mapo-gu Seoul, -74, Korea Absra A wde rage of supervsed learg algorhs has bee appled o Tex Caegorzao. However, he supervsed learg approahes have soe probles. Oe of he s ha hey requre a large, ofe prohbve, uber of labeled rag doues for aurae learg. Geerally, aqurg lass labels for rag daa s osly, whle gaherg a large quay of ulabeled daa s heap. We here propose a ew auoa ex aegorzao ehod for learg fro oly ulabeled daa usg a boosrappg fraework ad a feaure proeo ehque. Fro resuls of our experes, our ehod showed reasoably oparable perforae opared wh a supervsed ehod. If our ehod s used a ex aegorzao ask, buldg ex aegorzao syses wll beoe sgfaly faser ad less expesve. Iroduo Tex aegorzao s he ask of lassfyg doues o a era uber of pre-defed aegores. May supervsed learg algorhs have bee appled o hs area. These algorhs oday are reasoably suessful whe provded wh eough labeled or aoaed rag exaples. For exaple, here are Nave Bayes (MCallu ad Nga, 998, Roho (Lews e al., 996, Neares Neghbor (knn (Yag e al., 00, TCFP (Ko ad Seo, 00, ad Suppor Veor Mahe (SVM (Joahs, 998. However, he supervsed learg approah has soe dffules. Oe key dffuly s ha requres a large, ofe prohbve, uber of labeled rag daa for aurae learg. Se a labelg ask us be doe aually, s a pafully e-osug proess. Furherore, se he applao area of ex aegorzao has dversfed fro ewswre arles ad web pages o E-als ad ewsgroup posgs, s also a dfful ask o reae rag daa for eah Jugyu Seo Dep. of Copuer See, Sogag Uv. Ssu-dog, Mapo-gu Seoul, -74, Korea seoy@s.sogag.a.kr applao area (Nga e al., 998. I hs lgh, we osder learg algorhs ha do o requre suh a large aou of labeled daa. Whle labeled daa are dfful o oba, ulabeled daa are readly avalable ad pleful. Therefore, hs paper advoaes usg a boosrappg fraework ad a feaure proeo ehque wh us ulabeled daa for ex aegorzao. The pu o he boosrappg proess s a large aou of ulabeled daa ad a sall aou of seed forao o ell he learer abou he spef ask. I hs paper, we osder seed forao he for of le words assoaed wh aegores. I geeral, se ulabeled daa are uh less expesve ad easer o olle ha labeled daa, our ehod s useful for ex aegorzao asks ludg ole daa soures suh as web pages, E-als, ad ewsgroup posgs. To auoaally buld up a ex lassfer wh ulabeled daa, we us solve wo probles; how we a auoaally geerae labeled rag doues (ahe-labeled daa fro oly le words ad how we a hadle orrely labeled doues he ahe-labeled daa. Ths paper provdes soluos for hese probles. For he frs proble, we eploy he boosrappg fraework. For he seod, we use he TCFP lassfer wh robusess fro osy daa (Ko ad Seo, 004. How a labeled rag daa be auoaally reaed fro ulabeled daa ad le words? Maybe ulabeled daa do have ay forao for buldg a ex lassfer beause hey do o oa he os pora forao, her aegory. Thus we us assg he lass o eah doue order o use supervsed learg approahes. Se ex aegorzao s a ask based o pre-defed aegores, we kow he aegores for lassfyg doues. Kowg he aegores eas ha we a hoose a leas a represeave le word of eah aegory. Ths s he sarg po of our proposed ehod. As we arry ou a boosrappg ask fro hese le words, we a fally ge labeled rag daa. Suppose, for exaple, ha we are eresed lassfyg ewsgroup posgs abou speally

I our ehod, we use oex (a sequee of 60 words as a u of eag for boosrappg fro le words; s geerally osrued as a ddle sze of a seee ad a doue. We he exra ore oexs ha lude a leas oe of he le words ad he keywords. We all he erod-oexs beause hey are regarded as oexs wh he ore eag of eah aegory. Fro he erodoexs, we a ga ay words oexually oourred wh he le words ad keywords: drver, luh, ruk, ad so o. They are words frs-order o-ourree wh he le words ad he keywords. To gaher ore voabulary, we exra oexs ha are slar o erod-oexs by a slary easure; hey oa words seod-order o-ourree wh he le words ad he keywords. We fally osru oex-luser of eah aegory as he obao of erod-oexs ad oexs seleed by he slary easure. Usg he oex-lusers as labeled rag daa, a Nave Bayes lassfer a be bul. Se he Nave Bayes lassfer a label all ulabeled doues for her aegory, we a fally oba labeled rag daa (ahe-labeled daa. Whe he ahe-labeled daa s used o lear a ex lassfer, here s aoher dfful ha hey have ore orrely labeled doues ha aually labeled daa. Thus we develop ad eploy he TCFP lassfers wh robusess fro osy daa.

Creag Keyword Lss The sarg po of our ehod s ha we have le words ad olleed doues. A le word a prese he a eag of eah aegory bu ould be suffe represeg ay aegory for ex aegorzao. Thus we eed o fd words ha are seaally relaed o a le word, ad we defe he as keywords of eah aegory. The sore of sea slary bewee a le word, T, ad a word, W, s alulaed by he ose er as follows: = w s ( T, W = ( w = = where ad w represe he ourree (bary value: 0 or of words T ad W -h doue respevely, ad s he oal uber of doues he olleed doues. Ths ehod alulaes he slary sore bewee words based o he degree of her o-ourree he sae doue. Se he keywords for ex aegorzao us have he power o dsrae aegores as well as slary wh he le words, we assg a word o he keyword ls of a aegory wh he axu slary sore ad realulae he sore of he word he aegory usg he followg forula: Sore( W, ax = s( Tax, W + ( s( Tax, W s( Tseod ax, W ( where T ax s he le word wh he axu slary sore wh a word W, ax s he aegory of he le word T ax, ad T seodax s oher le word wh he seod hgh slary sore wh he word W. Ths forula eas ha a word wh hgh rakg a aegory has a hgh slary sore wh he le word of he aegory ad a hgh slary sore dfferee wh oher le words. We sor ou words assged o eah aegory aordg o he alulaed sore desedg order. We he hoose op words as keywords he aegory. Table shows he ls of keywords (op 5 for eah aegory he WebKB daa se. Table.

Exrag ad Verfyg Cerod-Coexs We hoose oexs wh a keyword or a le word of a aegory as erod-oexs. Aog erod-oexs, soe oexs ould o have good feaures of a aegory eve hough hey lude he keywords of he aegory. To rak he porae of erod-oexs, we opue he porae sore of eah erod-oex. Frs of all, weghs (W of word w -h aegory are alulaed usg Ter Frequey (TF wh a aegory ad Iverse Caegory Frequey (ICF (Cho ad K, 997 as follows: W = TF ICF = TF (log( M log( CF (3 where CF s he uber of aegores ha oa w ad M s he oal uber of aegores.

As a resul, we oba a se of words frsorder o-ourree fro erod-oexs of eah aegory Creag Coex-Clusers We gaher he seod-order o-ourree forao by assgg reag oexs o he oex-luser of eah aegory. For he assgg rero, we alulae slary bewee reag oexs ad erod-oexs of eah aegory. Thus we eploy he slary easure ehque by Karov ad Edela (998. I our ehod, a par of hs ehque s refored for our

Thus s appled eravely usg wo ares, WSM ad CSM. Eah aegory has a word slary arx WSM ad a oex slary arx CSM. I eah erao, we updae WSM, whose rows ad olus are labeled by all oe words eouered he erod-oexs of eah aegory ad pu reag oexs.

Eah reag oex s assged o a aegory whh has a axu slary value. Bu here ay exs osy reag oexs whh do o belog o ay aegory. To reove hese osy reag oexs, we se up a droppg hreshold usg oral dsrbuo of slary values as follows (Ko ad Seo, 000: ax{ s ( X, } µ + θσ (0 C where X s a reag oex, µ s a average of slary values s X,, σ s a ( C sadard devao of slary values, ad v θ s a ueral value orrespodg o he hreshold (% oral dsrbuo able. Fally, a reag oex s assged o he oex-luser of ay aegory whe he aegory has a axu slary above he droppg hreshold value. I hs paper, we eprally use a 5% hreshold value fro a expere usg a valdao se.

Bu se he ahelabeled daa are reaed by our ehod, hey geerally lude far ore orrely labeled doues ha he hua-labeled daa. Thus we eploy a feaure proeo ehque for our ehod. By he propery of he feaure proeo ehque, a lassfer (he TCFP lassfer a have robusess fro osy daa (Ko ad Seo, 004. As see our expere resuls, TCFP showed he hghes perforae aog oveoal lassfers usg ahe-labeled daa.

Se elees wh a hgh TF-IDF value proeos of a feaure us beoe ore useful lassfao rera for he feaure, we use oly elees wh TF-IDF values above he average TF-IDF value for vog. Ad he seleed elees parpae proporoal vog wh he sae porae as he TF-IDF value of eah elee.
