Improving Query Classification by Features’ Weight Learning

This work is an attempt to enhance query classification in call routing applications. A new method has been introduced to learn weights from training data by means of a regression model. This work has investigated applying the tf-idf weighting method, but the approach is not limited to a specific me...
