| Abstract | In this paper we study the effect of using unlabeled data in conjunction with a small portion of labeled data on the accuracy of a centroid-based classifier used to perform single-label text categorization. We chose to use centroid-based methods because they are very fast when compared with other classification methods, but still present an accuracy close to that of the state-of-the-art methods. Efficiency is particularly important for very large domains, like regular news feeds, or the web. We propose the combination of Expectation-Maximization with a centroid-based method to incorporate information about the unlabeled data during the training phase. We also propose an alternative to EM, based on the incremental update of a centroid-based method with the unlabeled documents during the training phase. We show that these approaches can greatly improve accuracy relatively to a simple centroid-based method, in particular when there are very small amounts of labeled data available (as few as one single document per class). Using one synthetic and three real-world datasets, we show that, if the initial model of the data is sufficiently precise, using unlabeled data improves performance. On the other hand, using unlabeled data degrades performance if the initial model is not precise enough. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
