> During classification, every word still unknown is added to 
> featureDictionary. This leads to the excessive growth if lots of texts 
> with unknown words are to be classified. The inconsistency is caused by 
> using a "vocabCount" that is not reset after each classification. 
> Indeed, featureDictionary.size() is used for "vocabCount", which 
> increases every time new unknown words are discovered.
