Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for constructing text classifiers. The method includes receiving a collection of candidate phrases for a given topic; filtering the received candidate phrases to remove erroneously included candidate phrases; assigning weights to the candidate phrases including scoring each candidate phrase using an initial classifier and assigning weights to the candidate phrases based on the scores; and generating a linear classifier using the filtered and weighted candidate phrases, where the linear classifier varies the weights for each phrase candidate depending on the length of the document being classified.
