PROJECTS

 

FACT: Fast Algorithm for Categorizing Text using Ambiguity Measure                       (M.S. Project, 2007)

Proposed a novel text classification algorithm called FACT

Results show that FACT performs statistically significantly better than state of the art text classification algorithms
