Evolving rules for document classification
We describe a novel method for using Genetic Programming to create compact classification rules based on combinations of N-Grams (character strings). Genetic programs acquire fitness by producing rules that are effective classifiers in terms of precision and recall when evaluated against a set of training documents. We describe a set of functions and terminals and provide results from a classification task using the Reuters 21578 dataset. We also suggest that because the induced rules are meaningful to a human analyst they may have a number of other uses beyond classification and provide a basis for text mining applications

ON MONITORING LANGUAGE CHANGE WITH THE SUPPORT OF CORPUS PROCESSING
One of the fundamental characteristics of language is that it can change over time. One
method to monitor the change is by observing its corpora: a structured language
documentation. Recent development in technology, especially in the field of Natural
Language Processing allows robust linguistic processing, which support the description of
diverse historical changes of the corpora. The interference of human linguist is inevitable as
it determines the gold standard, but computer assistance provides considerable support by
incorporating computational approach in exploring the corpora, especially historical
corpora. This paper proposes a model for corpus development, where corpus are annotated
to support further computational operations such as lexicogrammatical pattern matching,
automatic retrieval and extraction. The corpus processing operations are performed by local
grammar based corpus processing software on a contemporary Indonesian corpus. This
paper concludes that data collection and data processing in a corpus are equally crucial
importance to monitor language change, and none can be set aside
