Abstract

Text categorization is one of the well studied problems in data mining and information retrieval. Given a large quantity of documents in a data set where each document is associated with its corresponding category. Categorization involves building a model from classified documents, in order to classify previously unseen documents as accurately as possible. This paper investigates Naïve Bayesian method (NB) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) on different Arabic data sets. The bases of our comparison are the most popular text evaluation measures. The Experimental results against different Arabic text categorisation data sets reveal that SVM algorithm outperforms the NB with regards to all measures.
