Objective

The proposed talk contains study on the capability of Python Machine Learning Libraries to deal with text classification. The talk evaluates classification algorithms implemented in NLTK and sklearn.

Description

This talk presents an empirical evaluation of text classification capabilities of two popular Python Machine Learning libraraies NLTK and sklearn. The study compares performance of different classification algorithms implemented in both of the libraries. At the same time the talk investigates the capability of thse tools to deal with social media text for classification task too.
