The HKIB, or Hankookilbo, test collections are two archives of Korean newswire stories manually categorized with semi-hierarchical or hierarchical category taxonomies. The base newswire stories were made available by the Hankook Ilbo (The Korea Daily) for research purposes. At first, Chungnam National University and KISTI collaborated to manually tag 40,075 news stories with categories by semi-hierarchical and balanced three-level classification scheme, where each news story has only one level-3 category (single-labeling). We refer to this original data set as HKIB-40075 test collection. And then Yonsei University and KISTI collaborated to select 20,000 newswire stories from the HKIB-40075 test collection, to rearrange the classification scheme to be fully hierarchical but unbalanced, and to assign one or more categories to each news story (multi-labeling). We refer to this modified data set as HKIB-20000 test collection. We benchmark a k-NN categorization algorithm both on HKIB-20000 and on HKIB-40075, illustrating properties of the collections, providing baseline results for future studies, and suggesting new directions for further research on Korean text categorization problem.

This paper proposes a Korean document. categorization algorithm using Back Propagation Neural Network(BPNN) with Singular Value Decomposition(SVD). BPNN makes a network through its learning process and classifies documents using the network. The main difficulty in the application of BPNN to document categorization is high dimensionality of the feature space of the input documents. SVD projects the original high dimensional vector into low dimensional vector, makes the important associative relationship between terms and constructs the semantic vector space. The categorization algorithm is tested and compared on HKIB-20000/HKIB-40075 Korean Text Categorization Test Collections. Experimental results show that BPNN algorithm with SVD achieves high effectiveness for Korean document categorization.
