This work presents the integration of a fuzzy
method and text mining to obtain an approach that enables
the text documents classification to be closer to the user needs.
The aim of this work is to develop a mechanism to reduce the
high dimensionality of the attribute-value matrix obtained from
the documents and, with this, to manage the imprecision and
uncertainty using fuzzy rules to classify text documents. Some
experiments have been run using different domains in order
to validate the proposed approach and to compare the results
with the ones obtained with the Ibk, J48, Naive Bayes and
OneR classification methods. The advantages of the method,
the experiments and the results obtained are discussed.
