Representation of Texts into String Vectors for Text Categorization

In this study, we propose a method for encoding documents into string vectors, instead of numerical vectors. A traditional approach to text categorization usually requires encoding documents into numerical vectors. The usual method of encoding documents therefore causes two main problems: huge dimensionality and sparse distribution. In this study, we modify or create machine learning-based approaches to text categorization, where string vectors are received as input vectors, instead of numerical vectors. As a result, we can improve text categorization performance by avoiding these two problems.
