Generating Training Documents

A device for training a classifying device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory comprising:
• a sampling module to, when executed by the processor, determine a number of sub-samples in a number of original documents;
• a pseudo-document creation module to, when executed by the processor, create a number of pseudo-documents from the sub-samples, the pseudo-documents comprising a portion of the number of sub-samples;
• and
• a training module to, when executed by the processor, train a classifying device to classify textual documents based on the pseudo-documents.

A computer program product for classifying documents, the computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code comprising:
• computer usable program code to, when executed by a processor, determine a number of sub-samples in a number of original documents;
• computer usable program code to, when executed by a processor, create a number of pseudo-documents from the sub-samples, the pseudo-documents comprising a portion of the number of sub-samples;
• computer usable program code to, when executed by a processor, train a classifying device to classify textual documents based on the pseudo-documents;
• and
• computer usable program code to, when executed by a processor, classify a number of test documents.
