Personalized News Categorization Through Scalable Text Classification

Publication Type
Conference Paper
Abstract
Existing news portals on the WWW aim to provide users with numerous articles that are categorized into specific topics. Such a categorization procedure improves presentation of the information to the end-user. We further improve usability of these systems by presenting the architecture of a personalized news classification system that exploits user?s awareness of a topic in order to classify the articles in a ?per-user? manner. The system?s classification procedure bases upon a new text analysis and classification technique that represents documents using the vector space representation of their sentences. Traditional ?term-to-documents? matrix is replaced by a ?term-to-sentences? matrix that permits capturing more topic concepts of every document.
