It was observed that the quality of training corpus impacts the performance of the trained classifier. This paper proposes an approach to build high-quality training corpuses for better classification performance by first exploring the properties of training corpuses, and then giving an algorithm for constructing training corpuses semi-automatically. Preliminary experimental results validate our approach: classifiers based on the training corpuses constructed by our approach can achieve good performance while the training corpus` size is significantly reduced. Our approach can be used for building efficient and lightweight classification systems.} }
