Description
Summary:The use of the Web has increased the creation of digital information in an accelerated way and about multiple subjects. Text classification is widely used to filter emails, classify Web pages, and organize results retrieved by Web browsers. In this paper, we propose to raise the problem of automatic classification of scientific texts as an optimization problem, which will allow obtaining groups from a data set. The use of evolutionary algorithms to solve classification problems has been a recurrent approach. However, there are a few approaches in which classification problems are solved, where the data attributes to be classified are text-type. In this way, it is proposed to use the association for computing machinery taxonomy to obtain the similarity between documents, where each document consists of a set of keywords. According to the results obtained, the algorithm is competitive, which indicates that the proposal of a knowledge-based genetic algorithm is a viable approach to solve the classification problem.
