News Classification Using Machine Learning

Abstract

There are plenty of social media webpages and platforms producing the textual data. These different kind of a data needs to be analysed and processed to extract meaningful information from raw data. Classification of text plays a vital role in extraction of useful information along with summarization, text retrieval. In our work we have considered the problem of news classification using machine learning approach. Currently we have a news related dataset which having various types of data like entertainment, education, sports, politics, etc. On this data we have applying classification algorithm with some word vectorizing techniques in order to get best result. The results which we got that have been compared on different parameters like Precision, Recall, F1 Score, accuracy for performance improvement.
