Hierarchical Classification of Disaster News Using Local Classifier Per Parent Node [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   3 downloads  
Though a lot of work has been done to classify news headlines into generic categories like politics, sports, disasters, and so on, very little has been done to further classify a particular class of news into a deeper level of categories (especially in the case of disaster news). So, this paper presents a hierarchical classification of disaster news into appropriate disaster categories, based on their headlines. To demonstrate effectiveness of such classification, a hierarchical classifier, trained using local classifier per parent node approach and in mandatory leaf-node prediction setting, is compared with its flat counterpart on disaster news classification, and no significant difference of performance in accuracy is observed. However, the use of a hierarchical classifier as a substitute is, then, justified by demonstrating its advantage in a non-mandatory leafnode prediction setting, where a significant difference of performance in hP (hierarchical Precision) can be achieved by tuning the stopping criteria of the classifier.
