This study presents a novel method for classifying biomedical documents, especially when positive cases are rare. The approach effectively handles imbalanced data and asymmetric misclassification costs for improved accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical informatics
  • Natural language processing
  • Machine learning

Background:

  • Automated document classification is crucial for managing large biomedical text datasets.
  • Biomedical text classification often faces challenges due to the rarity of desired documents and asymmetric misclassification costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an effective method for classifying biomedical text documents.
  • To optimize classification utility for scenarios with highly asymmetric misclassification costs between positive and negative classes.

Main Methods:

  • The proposed method utilizes chi-square feature selection.
  • It employs iterative cost-proportionate rejection sampling followed by Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification.
  • Classifier results are combined using a voting mechanism.

  • It achieves competitive performance on standardized biomedical text classification tasks.
  • The approach is effective for imbalanced datasets and asymmetric misclassification costs.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method offers a robust solution for biomedical text classification.
  • It is a valuable tool for tasks where misclassification costs differ significantly.
  • The approach serves as a good general-purpose method for biomedical text classification.
