Abstract
This work presents an application example of text document filtering. We compare the DIMLP neural hybrid model to several machine learning algorithms. The clear advantage of this neural hybrid system is its transparency. In fact, the classification strategy of DIMLPs is almost completely encoded into the extracted rules. During cross-validation trials and in the majority of the situations, DIMLPs demonstrated to be at least as accurate as support vector machines, which is one of the most accurate classifiers of the text categorization domain. In the future, in order to further increase DIMLP accuracy, we believe that common sense knowledge could be easily inserted and refined with the use of symbolic rules.
