Abstract

In our contribution to the ALTA 2012 shared task we experimented with the use of cluster-based features for sentence classification. In a first stage we cluster the documents according to the distribution of sentence labels. We then use this information as a feature in standard classifiers. We observed that the cluster-based feature improved the results for Naive-Bayes classifiers but not for better-informed classifiers such as MaxEnt or Logistic Regression.
