SMU Data Science Review

Much progress has been made in text analysis, specifically within the statistical domain of Term Frequency (TF) and Inverse Document Frequency (IDF). However, there is much room for improvement especially within the area of discovering Emerging Trends. Emerging Trend Detection Systems (ETDS) depend on ingesting a collection of textual data and TF/IDF to identify new or up-trending topics within the Corpus. However, the tremendous rate of change and the amount of digital information presents a challenge that makes it almost impossible for a human expert to spot emerging trends without relying on an automated ETD system. Since the U.S. Government …

SMU Data Science Review

This paper proposes a method for the integration of natural language understanding in image classification to improve classification accuracy by making use of associated metadata. Traditionally, only image features have been used in the classification process; however, metadata accompanies images from many sources. This study implemented a multi-modal image classification model that combines convolutional methods with natural language understanding of descriptions, titles, and tags to improve image classification. The novelty of this approach was to learn from additional external features associated with the images using natural language understanding with transfer learning. It was found that the combination of ResNet-50 image …
