Question: The News Category Dataset BIBREF11 is a collection of headlines published by HuffPost BIBREF12 between 2012 and 2018, and was obtained online from Kaggle BIBREF13. The full dataset contains 200k news headlines with category labels, publication dates, and short text descriptions.

Answer: What news dataset was used?


Question: We conducted an experiment to determine whether we could maintain or improve classifier performances by applying the following three-tiered feature elimination approach:

Reduction We reduced the dataset encoded for each class by eliminating features that occur less than twice in the full dataset.

Selection We iteratively applied Chi-Square feature selection on the reduced dataset, selecting the top percentile of highest ranked features in increments of 5 percent to train and test the support vector model using a linear kernel and 5-fold, stratified cross-validation.

Rank We cumulatively plotted the average F1-score performances of each incrementally added percentile of top ranked features. We report the percentile and count of features resulting in the first occurrence of the highest average F1-score for each class.

Answer:
What are the three steps to feature elimination?
