Text Categorization using Support Vector machines Categorización de Textos mediante Máquinas de Soporte Vectorial

The categorization of texts is an application that falls within the discipline of naturallanguage pro­ cessing and is closely related to the concept of classification. Due to the abundant existing infor­ mation becomes necessary to organize, maintain, and process any information available from a deeper knowledge of the language of the support vector machines (MSV) belong to the family of linear classifiers, and can be used to resolve the problem of the categorization of texts(eT) which consists in label text or document with one or severa! predefined thematic categories.
