3. INTRODUCTION What is ATC? – Build a classifier by observing the properties of the set of pre- classified documents. (Naïve Bayes Model) Simple to implement Gives remarkable accuracy Gives directions for SVM (parameter tuning) – 2DPM starts from different hypotheses from NB: Terms are seen as disjoint event Documents are seen as union of these events Visualization tool for understanding the relationships between categories Helps users to visually audit the classifier identify suspicious training data.

4. BACKGROUND ON ATCBACKGROUND ON ATC Set of categories Set of documents – D X C {T, F} Multi Vs Single label categorization – CSVi : D [0,1] Degree of membership of document – Binary categorization C categories and D documents to assigned to (c) or it is complement – Document Dtr for classifier and Dte to measure performance

5. THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL MODELTHE TWO-DIMENSIONAL MODEL Presenting the document on a 2-d Cartesian plan Based on two parameters – Presence and expressiveness, measuring the frequency of the term in the document of all the categories. Advantages – No explicit need for feature to reduce dimensionality – Limited space required to store objects compare to NB – Less computation cost for classifier training.

9. BASIC PROBABILITIESBASIC PROBABILITIES “Peculiarity” of a tem, chosen a set of categories – It is the probability of finding a term in a document and the probability of not finding the same term in the document complement. – Presence (how frequently the term is in the categories) – expressiveness (how distinctive the term is for that set of categories) – It is useful when finding the probability of complements of sets

10. BASIC PROBABILITIESBASIC PROBABILITIES Probability of a term given complementary sets of categories

11. BASIC PROBABILITIESBASIC PROBABILITIES Probability of a term having chosen a sets of categories – Indicates finding a term from set of documents and not finding the same term in the complement of the set of documents

12. 2-D REPRESENTATION AND CATEGORIZATION To find the probability of set of terms in a set of categories Breaking down the expression to plot it Natural way to assign d to c With threshold to improve the separation (q) With angular coefficient (m)

14. EXPERIMENTS Dataset – Reuters-21578 (135 potential categories) First experiment with 10 most frequent categories Second excrement with 90 most frequent categories – Reuters collection volume 1 810,000 newswire (Aug. 1996 to Aug. 1997) 30,000 training documents 36,000 test documents

15. EXPERIMENTS Pre-processing – Removing all the punctuation and convert to lower case – Removing the most frequent terms of the English language – K-fold cross validation (k=5) for FAR alg. For best separation – The recall and precision are computer for each category and combining them into a single measure (F1) – Marco-averaging and micro-averaging is computed for each of the previous measurements

16. ANALYSES AND RESULTSANALYSES AND RESULTS Comparing 2DPM with NB multinomial Case 1 : NB performs better than 2DPM Case 2 : almost the same but the macro-avar. Is halved Case 3 : same case 2 but macro-avar. increased Case 4 : NB performs better than 2DPM in micro but worst in macro.

17. ANALYSES AND RESULTSANALYSES AND RESULTS

18. CONCLUSION Plotting makes the understanding of the classifier decision easy Rotation of the decision line would result in better separation of the two classes. (Focused Angular Region) 2DPM performance is at least equal to NB model 2DPM is better with macro-avar. F1

19. Critiques The paper was not clear in directing the reading to the final results There are many cases of getting the probability but it does not show how to use them The paper focused on explaining the theoretical side, while the results and analysis part is almost 10% The main algorithm that the paper depends on was just mentioned with no enough explanation (focused angular region)
