Text Classification
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Text classification is a fundamental NLP task that assigns predefined categories to text instances. It is widely applied in multiple scenarios:
|
|
|
|
- **Sentiment analysis**: Determine emotional polarity (positive/negative/neutral) in reviews or comments
|
|
- **Topic labeling**: Categorize news articles or documents by subject
|
|
- **Spam detection**: Identify unsolicited emails/messages
|
|
- **Intent recognition**: Classify user queries in dialog systems
|
|
- **Question answering**: Determine answerability of questions
|
|
|
|
Key technical challenges include:
|
|
1. Variable text lengths (from phrases to documents)
|
|
2. Multilingual and cross-domain generalization
|
|
3. Discrepancies in label systems across domains
|
|
4. Class imbalance issues
|
|
|
|
Common solutions involve:
|
|
- Data cleaning and preprocessing
|
|
- Feature engineering (TF-IDF, embeddings)
|
|
- Model selection (from traditional ML to deep learning)
|
|
- Hyperparameter tuning and ensemble methods |
