ABSTRACT
In this work, we propose a method to improve performance in biomedical article classification. We use Naïve Bayes and Maximum Entropy classifiers to classify real world biomedical articles. We describe a technique based on chi-square measure to discard irrelevant information from the data and to identify the most relevant keywords to the classification task. To improve classification performance, we used two merging operators, Max and Harmonic Mean proposed by Jongwoo et al (2010) to combine results of the two classifiers. The results show that the Maximum Entropy classifier shows the better performance at 500 top relevant keywords. It is also shown that combining the results of the two classifiers we can improve classification performance of real world biomedical data.

Chinese text classification by the Naïve Bayes Classifier and the associative classifier with multiple confidence threshold values
Each type of classifier has its own advantages as well as certain shortcomings. In this paper, we take the advantages of the associative classifier and the Naive Bayes Classifier to make up the shortcomings of each other, thus improving the accuracy of ...
Feature selection for text classification with Naïve Bayes
As an important preprocessing technology in text classification, feature selection can improve the scalability, efficiency and accuracy of a text classifier. In general, a good feature selection method should consider domain and algorithm ...
