This paper explores the use of machine learning approaches, or more
specifically, four supervised learning Methods, namely Decision Tree(C 4.5),
K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Na\"ive Bays (NB), and Support Vector Machine (SVM)
for categorization of Bangla web documents. This is a task of automatically
sorting a set of documents into categories from a predefined set. Whereas a
wide range of methods have been applied to English text categorization,
relatively few studies have been conducted on Bangla language text
categorization. Hence, we attempt to analyze the efficiency of those four
methods for categorization of Bangla documents. In order to validate, Bangla
corpus from various websites has been developed and used as examples for the
experiment. For Bangla, empirical results support that all four methods produce
satisfactory performance with SVM attaining good result in terms of high
dimensional and relatively noisy document feature vectors.
