Many states have struggled with policies on how to correct this problem, and they have been challenged to answer whether students who cannot read proficiently by the third grade should be promoted, or if they should be pertained and provided with intensive interventions before moving on to …

Identifying Informative Coronavirus Tweets Using Recurrent Neural Network Document Embedding, Rami Yousuf

Palestine Technical University Research Journal

The coronavirus pandemic has led to the spread of tremendous fake news and misleading information through tweets. Hence, an interesting task of classifying tweets into informative and uninformative has motivated researchers to employ machine learning techniques.
