Text classification on mahout with Naïve-Bayes machine learning algorithm

In daily life, we use the internet for many purposes. The Internet makes easier our life and it has led to the providing to occur new technologies. Several smart devices that use the Internet infrastructure generates digital data in different formats and with different generation speeds. The evaluation of the generated data is carried out by the algorithms associated with the field of machine learning. When considered the large size of generated data and the diversity format of data, it has required methods such as higher performance parallel computing tools as well as machine learning algorithms. One of these tools, which is called Mahout working on Hadoop, is a big data processing tool developed for this purpose. Mahout is described as an open source framework that runs machine learning algorithms in parallel on distributed servers. In this study, the Tweets belonging to 3 daily newspapers have classified according to newspaper categories using the Naive-Bayes algorithm with Mahout framework. The proposed model achieves about %79 success in the classification of the tweets. The classification results are tabulated in the last section of the study.
