Nestor Alvaro (Data Scientist at Deloitte Digital, Spain) Creating a custom system for identifying political news Date: February 16, 2020 (Sunday) Time: 16:00 - 18:00 (Japan Time) Language: English Online Session

During this workshop we will review the steps that have been taken to use the annotations provided by human contributors, and the strategy for consolidating these annotation to generate a base dataset. Once the dataset was ready, we applied different NLP transformations to get the knowledge base, which was then used to train the classifier that would allow us to detect texts containing political news.
