Classification optimization for training a large dataset with Naive Bayes

Book classification is very popular in digital libraries. Book rating prediction is crucial to improve the care of readers. The commonly used techniques are decision tree, Naive Bayes (NB), neural networks, etc. Moreover, mining book data depends on feature selection, data pre-processing, and data preparation. This paper proposes the solutions of knowledge representation optimization as well as feature selection to enhance book classification and point out appropriate classification algorithms. Several experiments have been conducted and it has been found that NB could provide best prediction results. The accuracy and performance of NB can be improved and outperform other classification algorithms by applying appropriate strategies of feature selections, data type selection as well as data transformation.
