"Feature Selection for Text Categorization"

Hi,

I use the Brown corpora for an experiment. I try to limit the number of features for the experiment by using feature selection.

I have used the wizard which comes with RapidMiner to setup a process. The data is loaded from a sparse matrix file into a sparse matrix.

How can I prevent that RM is running out of memory?


Thank you

P Jan 12, 2009 2:12:21 PM: [NOTE] SparseFormatExampleSource: The ID attribute 'id' is defined with a nominal value type but the possible values are not defined! Although this often does not lead to problems (unlike for labels or regular nominal attributes) you might want to specify the possible values by inner tags <value>first</value><value>second</value>....

    Hi,
    could you please post your process file (*.xml) so that I can see what rapid miner does when it runs out of memory?

    Other informations I need are size of RAM, size of the data set, number of attributes.

    Greetings,
      Sebastian
