Résumé

In text categorization, feature selection can be essential not only for reducing the index size but also for improving the performance of the classi er. In this article1, we propose a feature selection criterion, called Entropy based Category Coverage Di erence (ECCD). On the one hand, this criterion is based on the distribution of the documents containing the term in the categories, but on the other hand, it takes into account its entropy. ECCD compares favorably with usual feature selection methods based on document frequency (DF), information gain (IG), mutual information (IM), 2, odd ratio and GSS on a large collection of XML documents from Wikipedia encyclopedia. Moreover, this comparative study con rms the e ectiveness of selection feature techniques derived from the 2 statistics.
