Description:

  • Experimented with models that could classify a piece of text as “Republican”, “Democrat” or “Neutral” using both a neural network in Google CoLab and a naïve bayes classifier in VSCode, with both data from Reddit and synthetically generated data
  • Found that our Naïve Bayes classifier with synthetic data performed the best, with a F1 score on our test set of 0.92
