Sažetak
Many successful applications depend on statistical language models such as automatic document classification, information retrieval, speech recognition any many more. This thesis is focused on the task of automatic document classification, more specifically on exploring different statistical language models that can be used to extract features from documents. State-of-the- art methods for feature construction are based on bag-of-words models and are largely used despite their known weaknesses. Their popularity rests on their simplicity and often very high accuracy. With the development of technology and machine learning algorithms, we are now able to explore more complex methods for document representations. The goal of this thesis is to present different document representation models that emerged in recent years and to explore whether computational complexity of these models can be justified by the improvement in performance. Namely, state-of-the art bag-of-word models are used as a base for comparison of word2vec/doc2vec models and models based on complex networks. While the bag-of-word models have been extensively studied in the context of document classification, the other two models have not been well understood on the same task. The study measures the performance of classifiers trained with random forest algorithm on features generated by the specified models tuned with different parameters. Results show that low dimensional doc2vec model is comparable with the traditional bag-of-words model. Also, graph based models that use selectivity measure as a feature show improvements over the bag-of-words model on a dataset with higher number of classes.
