πŸŽ™The Talk Details

Talk title:

Automatic multiclass news classification using deep learning ( LSTM) and word embedding with NLP technology by Nandita Sharma

Description:

So basically in this project I used NLP technology to categories news types under respective category automatically using word embedding and Deep learning LSTM.
For example : if there are news about beauty or about cricket then machine will automatically filter it's input under category of personal care or sports.
(My proposed state of art is better than previous researchers state)
Results- Achieved good accuracy of 82% with good precision and recall.
