Miniproject: Machine Learning

Supervised and Unsupervised Text Classification.

1. We created sections using ami3 which look like this

2. Flattening the XML into text format for readability.

3. We have 2 major problem statements:

• Not all sections are labelled with universally accepted vocabulary.
• We want to improve our knowledge resource by clustering together similar articles on a paragraph or section basis. E.g. Using unsupervised learning if we find out that gas chromatography is a frequently used phrase, we use it as a label to group together with other articles that mention gas chromatography.

4. Goals

• We plan on extracting keywords and phrases using NLTK rake. We create a bag of words and tf-idf representation of the data. We manually agree on the labels we want to use for topic modelling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tf%E2%80%93idf
