The mixture of multinomial distributions is proposed as a model for class-conditional distributions in document classification task. Experimental results on the Reuters and the Newsgroups data sets indicate the effectiveness of the multinomial mixture model. Furthermore, an increase in classification accuracy is achieved for small training data sets, when multiclass Bhattacharyya distance is used instead of average mutual information as a feature selection criterion.
