Feature extraction, feature selection and classifier selection in the analysis of documents and classification affects performance. In text document categorization, it is a fundamental problem that the numbers of extracted features are a lot of. In this study, by using a new feature selection method based on IG (information gain) and PSO (particle swarm optimization) algorithms, text categorization process performed. Reuters 21.578 and Classic3 corpus were used in the experiments. The roots of the words in the texts of corpus were taken as the features. Feature selection and categorization processes performed with k-Nearest Neighbors algorithm (K-NN) and Naive Bayes classifiers by using IG and PSO algorithms. Proposed system performance was evaluated by using CA (Classification Accuracy), Precision, Recall and F-measure criteria.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessText categorizationfeature selectionparticle swarm optimizationConference Object523529N/AWOS:000392727800100N/A
