We use Telltale as our classifier; Telltale uses n-grams to compute the similarity between documents. We experiment with various types of descriptions for the Yahoo! categories and the webpages to be categorized. Our findings suggest that the best results occur when using the very brief descriptions of the Yahoo! categorized entries; these brief descriptions are provided either by the entries' submitters or by the Yahoo! human indexers and accompany most Yahoo!- indexed entries.]]> 790 31PUtDuHmnkJ 121 105328
