We propose an improvement to dictionary features called smoothed dictionary features. These features recognize document contexts instead of ngrams. We describe a principled methodology to solicit dictionary features from a teacher, and present results showing that models built using these human-comprehensible features are competitive with models trained with Bag of Words features.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/interactive-semantic-featuring-text-classification/}, pages = {51-55}, edition = {Proceedings of the 2016 ICML Workshop on Human Interpretability in Machine Learning (WHI 2016)}, }
