Abstract
Text categorization involves assigning a natural language document to one or more predefined classes. One of the most interesting issues is feature selection. We propose an approach using multicriteria ranking of eatures, a new procedure for feature selection, and apply these to text categorization. Experimental results dealing with Reuters-21578 and 20Newsgroups benchmark data and the naive Bayes algorithm show that our proposal outperforms conventional feature selection in text categorization performance.
