Performance analysis of supervised machine learning algorithms for text classification

The demand of text classification is growing significantly in web searching, data mining, web ranking, recommendation systems and so many other fields of information and technology. This paper illustrates the text classification process on different dataset using some standard supervised machine learning techniques. Text documents can be classified through various kinds of classifiers. Labeled text documents are used to classify the text in supervised classifications. This paper applied these classifiers on different kinds of labeled documents and measures the accuracy of the classifiers. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model using Back Propagation Network (BPN) is used with several other models to create an independent platform for labeled and supervised text classification process. An existing benchmark approach is used to analysis the performance of classification using labeled documents. Experimental analysis on real data reveals which model works well in terms of classification accuracy.
