Automated Data Classification The Pros and Cons When it comes to data classification tools, one of the biggest decisions you have to make is whether to opt for automated data classification or to require your users to label data based on sensitivity. Brochure: Corporate Brochure. Text classification is one of the fundamental tasks in natural language processing with broad applications such as sentiment analysis , topic labeling, spam detection, and intent detection.
A text classifier can take this phrase as an input, analyze its content, and then automatically assign relevant tags, such as UI and Easy To Use. Because of the messy nature of text, analyzing, understanding, organizing, and sorting through text data is hard and time-consuming, so most companies fail to use it to its full potential. This is where text classification with machine learning comes in. Using text classifiers, companies can automatically structure all manner of relevant text, from emails, legal documents, social media, chatbots, surveys, and more in a fast and cost-effective way.
This allows companies to save time analyzing text data, automate business processes, and make data-driven business decisions. Manually analyzing and organizing is slow and much less accurate..
Machine learning can automatically analyze millions of surveys, comments, emails, etc. Text classification tools are scalable to any business needs, large or small. There are critical situations that companies need to identify as soon as possible and take immediate action e.
Machine learning text classification can follow your brand mentions constantly and in real time, so you'll identify critical information and be able to take action right away. Human annotators make mistakes when classifying text data due to distractions, fatigue, and boredom, and human subjectivity creates inconsistent criteria.
Machine learning, on the other hand, applies the same lens and criteria to all data and results. Once a text classification model is properly trained it performs with unsurpassed accuracy. Manual text classification involves a human annotator, who interprets the content of text and categorizes it accordingly. Automatic text classification applies machine learning, natural language processing NLP , and other AI-guided techniques to automatically classify text in a faster, more cost-effective, and more accurate manner.
There are many approaches to automatic text classification, but they all fall under three types of systems:. Rule-based approaches classify text into organized groups by using a set of handcrafted linguistic rules. These rules instruct the system to use semantically relevant elements of a text to identify relevant categories based on its content. Each rule consists of an antecedent or pattern and a predicted category. Say that you want to classify news articles into two groups: Sports and Politics.
If the number of sports-related word appearances is greater than the politics-related word count, then the text is classified as Sports and vice versa. Rule-based systems are human comprehensible and can be improved over time. But this approach has some disadvantages. For starters, these systems require deep knowledge of the domain. They are also time-consuming, since generating rules for a complex system can be quite challenging and usually requires a lot of analysis and testing.
Instead of relying on manually crafted rules, machine learning text classification learns to make classifications based on past observations. By using pre-labeled examples as training data, machine learning algorithms can learn the different associations between pieces of text, and that a particular output i. The first step towards training a machine learning NLP classifier is feature extraction: a method is used to transform each text into a numerical representation in the form of a vector.
One of the most frequently used approaches is bag of words , where a vector represents the frequency of a word in a predefined dictionary of words.
Then, the machine learning algorithm is fed with training data that consists of pairs of feature sets vectors for each text example and tags e.
The same feature extractor is used to transform unseen text to feature sets, which can be fed into the classification model to get predictions on tags e. Text classification with machine learning is usually much more accurate than human-crafted rule systems, especially on complex NLP classification tasks.
Also, classifiers with machine learning are easier to maintain and you can always tag new examples to learn new tasks. Some of the most popular text classification algorithms include the Naive Bayes family of algorithms, support vector machines SVM , and deep learning. The Naive Bayes family of statistical algorithms are some of the most used algorithms in text classification and text analysis, overall.
The probability of A, if B is true, is equal to the probability of B, if A is true, times the probability of A being true, divided by the probability of B being true. This means that any vector that represents a text will have to contain information about the probabilities of the appearance of certain words within the texts of a given category, so that the algorithm can compute the likelihood of that text belonging to the category.
Take a look at this blog post to learn more about Naive Bayes. SVM does, however, require more computational resources than Naive Bayes, but the results are even faster and more accurate.
One subspace contains vectors tags that belong to a group, and another subspace contains vectors that do not belong to that group. The optimal hyperplane is the one with the largest distance between each tag. In two dimensions it looks like this:. Those vectors are representations of your training texts, and a group is a tag you have tagged your texts with. So, it looks like this:. Imagine the above in three dimensions, with an added Z-axis, to create a circle. Deep learning is a set of algorithms and techniques inspired by how the human brain works, called neural networks.
Deep learning architectures offer huge benefits for text classification because they perform at super high accuracy with lower-level engineering and computation. Deep learning is hierarchical machine learning, using multiple algorithms in a progressive chain of events. Deep learning algorithms do require much more training data than traditional machine learning algorithms at least millions of tagged examples. Deep learning algorithms, like Word2Vec or GloVe are also used in order to obtain better vector representations for words and improve the accuracy of classifiers trained with traditional machine learning algorithms.
Hybrid systems combine a machine learning-trained base classifier with a rule-based system, used to further improve the results. Cross-validation is a common method to evaluate the performance of a text classifier. It works by splitting the training dataset into random, equal-length example sets e. For each set, a text classifier is trained with the remaining samples e.
Next, the classifiers make predictions on their respective sets, and the results are compared against the human-annotated tags. This will determine when a prediction was right true positives and true negatives and when it made a mistake false positives, false negatives. With these results, you can build performance metrics that are useful for a quick assessment on how well a classifier works:.
Manually analyzing and organizing is slow and much less accurate. Text classification can be used in a broad range of contexts such as classifying short texts e.
Some of the most well-known examples of text classification include sentiment analysis, topic labeling, language detection, and intent detection. Perhaps the most popular example of text classification is sentiment analysis or opinion mining : the automated process of reading a text for opinion polarity positive, negative, neutral, and beyond.
Companies use sentiment classifiers on a wide range of applications, like product analytics, brand monitoring , market research, customer support , workforce analytics, and much more. Sentiment analysis allows you to automatically analyze all forms of text for the feeling and emotion of the writer. Try out this pre-trained sentiment classifier with your own text to see just how easy it is to do.
For super accurate results trained to the specific language and criteria of your business, follow this quick sentiment analysis tutorial to build a custom sentiment analysis model in just five steps. Another common example of text classification is topic labeling, that is, understanding what a given text is talking about.
Try out this pre-trained model for classifying NPS responses for SaaS products according to their topic. The first one is a priori classification, in which the class already exists and each new document is placed into the cluster whose centroid is most similar to that document.
The second one, a no a priori classification, is specified, and clusters are formed only on the basis of similarities between documents. Classification schemes that fall into the first class are very common and often involve manual work. Those in the second type of category are usually more difficult to handle, and automatic or semi-automatic methods are often used.
The present study employed a widely used methodology for automatic classification of a large number of documents. The methodology used is associated to the vector space model for representation of document features, and it allows comparing the distance between the new incoming document and the existing documents that had been previously separated into classes by humans.
By comparing the results obtained, it was possible to measure the degree of efficiency of the automatic classification method. The A Tribuna database, used in this experiment, is an online database for journalism, a factor that may be important for professionals in this field and may contribute to the understanding of other similar databases.
This study is organized as follows: Section 2 presents the technologies and studies on document classification. Section 3 introduces the literature review that will help readers understand how the classification of document using vector space model works and its implications regarding the a priori classification of documents. Section 4 describes the experiment carried out and discusses the results obtained. Section 5 presents the conclusion and a perspective of future research. Different kinds of files text documents, videos, images, music, etc.
Most of these files are not correctly cataloged, which may be due to the fact that the people responsible for it do not know or are not concerned about it.

Moreover, companies in the information industry library and publishers have invested in digital books such as eBooks. The a priori classification requires time and professional effort of human specialists. In the new context of production, organization, and retrieval of digital objects, the goals are not restricted to the creation of symbolic representations of the documents in a collection; they also include the creation of new ways of writing for hypertexts and the creation of the so-called metadata, many of which can be extracted directly from the objects themselves.
Therefore, they are access keys for Internet users. This important step, such as cataloging performed by a human specialist during technical document treatment, consists of document indexing. Like the manual process of extracting terms or words that can represent the document, automatic indexing is based on word frequency - the number of times terms occur in the document itself and in the collection. Moreover, it can also be based on the presence of words in a dictionary or thesaurus.

Communications of the ACM, v. Automatic indexing takes into account the frequency with which a term occurs in each document. As part of the document treatment process, some terms can be removed if they do not act as meaningful criteria in a query; these words are called Stopwords. On the other hand, relevant terms are weighted, which reflects their significance in terms of representativeness.
T-W; HE, B. Automatically building a stopword list for an information retrieval system. Proceedings… Utrecht: Utrecht University, There are several techniques for the treatment of documents in terms of Stopwords, such as Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency TF-IDF which will be defined in the next section , the Genetic Algorithm, lists of prohibited words for a certain language, and other automatic construction algorithms.
According to the literature, this is the pre-processing stage, and it can be used combining lexical analysis, Stopwords removal, and Stemming extract the root of the word. In practice, stemming is the procedure used to extract syntactic variations of words, such as the plural and the affixes represented by prefixes and suffixes.
In addition to these procedures, there is also the selection of terms to be indexed or categorical structures such as the thesaurus, which is an instrument that gathers terms chosen from a previously established conceptual structure and are intended for indexing and retrieving of documents and information in a certain field of knowledge.

Documents on the Internet, as well as in any other domain, can be divided into two types. The first type refers to structured texts, in which the choice of terms may be done based on titles among other predefinitions, such as police reports, newspapers, and magazines whose textual bases remain the same although their content is different in each publication.
Text mining. Annual Review of Information Science and Technology, v. For the purpose of this study, the documents in our database, extracted from the online version of the newspaper A Tribuna , were considered unstructured texts.
The methodology and algebra involved in the indexing process will be presented below. As for the methodology, the documents will be represented as vectors, and statistical methods were used for data analysis. Therefore, each document becomes a term vector. In the space model vector representation, a word or term is replaced with a number whose value is the frequency of that term in each document.
This type of representation allows one to conclude that a term can appear in one document or in several documents, as well as in all documents in the collection. For each term, a weight wi is assigned according to two aspects, as previously mentioned: the first is the frequency with which the term appears in the analyzed document Term Frequency TF ; the second is the frequency of the term in the other documents of the collection Inverse Document Frequency IDF. This is one of the simplest proposals available in the literature, which according to Baeza-Yates and Ribeiro-Neto , p.
The index terms are assumed to be mutually independent and are represented as vector units of a t-dimensional space, where t is the total number of terms. The representation of the document d j and the query q are t-dimensional vectors given by:. A word in the document is a term associated with a weight w i.
