This study introduces a novel attribute selection method for document classification, bypassing traditional stemming. The new approach uses discriminative substrings, improving accuracy, especially for small biomedical datasets.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Informatics
  • Natural Language Processing
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Attribute selection is crucial for document classification systems.
  • Standard practice involves stemming words, but this can reduce accuracy in complex biomedical terminology, particularly with limited labeled data.
  • General-purpose stemmers may remove informative word stems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a new algorithm for attribute selection in document classification.
  • To address the limitations of stemming algorithms in biomedical text analysis.
  • To improve classification accuracy, especially when dealing with small labeled datasets.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an algorithm that omits word stemming.
  • Utilizes the most discriminative substrings as attributes for classification.

  • Tested the approach on five annotated abstract datasets related to protein post-translational modifications.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed attribute selection method consistently outperformed the Porter stemmer algorithm.
    • Classifiers (Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machine) achieved higher Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) accuracy (0.92-0.97) with the new method compared to Porter stemming (0.86-0.93).
    • The approach demonstrated particular effectiveness with small labeled datasets.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed substring-based attribute selection method enhances document classification accuracy in the biomedical domain.
    • This method offers a significant advantage over traditional stemming, especially for datasets with limited examples.
    • The algorithm provides a more robust approach to handling complex biomedical terminology.
