NLP - Disaster Tweets Classification

The aim is to predict whether a tweet is about a natural disaster or not using a dataset provided by a kaggle task.

Dataset

The training data consists of over 7000 labeled tweets. Columns:

• id - a unique identifier for each tweet
• text - the text of the tweet
• location - the location the tweet was sent from (may be blank)
• keyword - a particular keyword from the tweet (may be blank)
• target - in train.csv only, this denotes whether a tweet is about a real disaster (1) or not (0)

Libraries

pip install -r requirements.txt

• numpy
• pandas
• tensorflow
• scikit-learning

How to run?

Just run the main.py file! You'll be asked to copy-paste a tweet you wannna predict.

Neural Network

4-layer RNN with LSTM units, dropouts and two fully-connected layers in the end.

So far, the length of the sequence has been set to 30, longer tweets are cut and shorter are padded.
