ABSTRACT

This paper deals with the performance of Question Categorization based on four different term weighting methods. Term weighting methods such as tf*idf, qf*icf, iqf*qf*icf and vrf together with SVM classifier were used for categorization. From the experiments conducted using both linear and nonlinear SVM, term weighting method iqf*qf*icf showed better performance in question categorization than other methods.
