Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to assign weights to certain words of a
class in the Document Classifier.
Some words are important for a particular class. Even though these words
may occur in other classes, the level of importance may vary. So, if
certain words in certain classes are given specific weights, it would
produce more accurate results.
Let me explain this with an example.
Say we have 2 classes. Nature and Sports.
Consider these 2 sentences :
1. We played basket ball, under the sun.
2. The sun is a big ball of fire.
In the first sentence, which belongs to the class 'Sports', the words
'played','basket','ball' are more important than the word 'sun'. Whereas,
in the second sentence, the words 'sun' and 'fire' are important than the
word 'ball'.
Thelevel of importance can be assigned by assigning weight to a few
specific words that are distinct for a class.
Is there already a way to do this in OpenNLP Document Classifier? If not
please consider this.
