Many algorithms have been implemented for the problem of document categorization. The majority work in this area was achieved for English text, while a very few approaches have been introduced for the Arabic text. The nature of Arabic text is different from that of the English text and the preprocessing of the Arabic text is more challenging. This is due to Arabic language is a highly inflectional and derivational language that makes document mining a hard and complex task. In this paper, we present an Automatic Arabic documents classification system based on kNN algorithm. Also, we develop an approach to solve keywords extraction and reduction problems by using Document Frequency (DF) threshold method. The results indicate that the ability of the kNN to deal with Arabic text outperforms the other existing systems. The proposed system reached 0.95 micro-recall scores with 850 Arabic texts in 6 different categories.
