Supervised term-category feature weighting for improved text classification by Attieh, Joseph

“…In this study, we provide a novel text classification framework for Category-based Feature Engineering titled CFE. It consists of a supervised weighting scheme defined based on a variant of the TF-ICF (Term Frequency-Inverse Category Frequency) model, embedded into three new lean classification approaches: (i) IterativeAdditive (flat), (ii) GradientDescentANN (1-layered), and (iii) FeedForwardANN (2-layered). …”
