Abstract:

Purpose. Classical KNN text classifier has some shortcomings such as consistent weights of each characteristics, which causes low classification accuracy and high feature dimension that leads the program to run too much time when facing a large datasets. To solve these problems, a normalized feature weighted KNN text classifier was proposed (it was named NPSOKNN algorithm).

Methodology. The overall accuracy of classifier was used as the global optimization goal of feature weights. PSO was used to search the global optimization feature weights. In order to reduce the number of features and time cost of KNN text classifier, we set a threshold to drop the features that are lower than the threshold value.

Findings. We first got the global optimization feature weights, and then by using these weights and feature reduction method, we obtained a new feature vector, the dimension number of which is much smaller than the original text vector and with high accuracy of text classification.

Originality. We made a study of the improvement of the text classifier by using improved PSO and KNN. We discussed normalized feature weights, weighted distance calculation function, and feature dimension reduction. The research on this aspect has not been found at present.

Practical value. The 10-fold cross-validation experimental results showed that the average accuracy of NPSOKNN is higher than that of the classical KNN in text classifier, and the time cost was reduced significantly because of features reducing.
