Classification of text documents: using a MLComp datasetΒΆ
This is an example showing how the scikit-learn can be used to classify documents by topics using a bag-of-words approach. This example uses a scipy.sparse matrix to store the features instead of standard numpy arrays.
The dataset used in this example is the 20 newsgroups dataset and should be downloaded from the http://mlcomp.org (free registration required):
Once downloaded unzip the archive somewhere on your filesystem. For instance in:
% mkdir -p ~/data/mlcomp
% cd ~/data/mlcomp
% unzip /path/to/dataset-379-20news-18828_XXXXX.zip
You should get a folder ~/data/mlcomp/379
with a file named metadata
and subfolders raw
, train
and test
holding the text documents
organized by newsgroups.
Then set the MLCOMP_DATASETS_HOME
environment variable pointing to
the root folder holding the uncompressed archive:
% export MLCOMP_DATASETS_HOME="~/data/mlcomp"
Then you are ready to run this example using your favorite python shell:
% ipython examples/mlcomp_sparse_document_classification.py
