Abstract

This paper focuses on a machine learning approach to the concept/document classification for IR. We apply a logistic regression - based algorithm to three types of classification tasks: binary classification, multiple classification and classification into a hierarchy. We classify a set of 150 Topics from the TIPSTER collection. We develop heuristics as to how to build a logistic regression model for high dimensional, sparse data sets.
