Abstract

This work study a poet identification in Arabic poetry using classification methods, with features like poetry features, Sentence length, Characters, word length, first word in the poetry sentence and specific words are used as input data for text classification algorithms: Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The data set of experiment divided into two parts: a training dataset with known poets and test dataset with unknown poets. In our experiment, a set of 114 poets from entirely different eras are used. The researcher shows exciting results with a classification accuracy of 98.2456%.
