Abstract (Summary of the Work)

The aim of the dissertation is to come up with a good algorithm that will help classify the documents of the 20 newsgroup data set to it’s proper classes. Different methods are applied using the vector representation of documents (number of times a uni-gram occurs in a document) to come up with a method that gives best accuracy after classification. Hierarchical structure for classification was followed and different methods were experimented with to see which one gives the best accuracy. Different ways to detect outliers in the training set were also applied and these outliers were removed from the training set to improve accuracy
