I'm going to classify unstructured text documents, namely web sites of unknown structure. The number of classes to which I am classifying is limited (at this point, I believe there is no more than three). Does anyone have a suggested for how I might get started?Is the bag of words approach feasible here? Later, I could add another classification stage based on document structure (perhaps decision trees).I am somewhat familiar with Mahout and Hadoop, so I prefer Java-based solutions. If needed, I can switch to Scala and/or Spark engine (the ML library).
