    Text classification

    Activity:
    This activity is to assess your understanding of the text classifier. It involves going through
    spam email examples to understand the text classifier. You will be using different ensemble
    learning techniques to test the performance of the classifier.

    Task 1: Spam email example

    Activity for Ensemble Learning


    Question: Is the given email a Fraud, Spam, or Normal?

    What is the Label/Class column?


    Which classification it is?

    Step 1: Import basic libraries


    Step 2: Read file

    Step 3: Filter out unnecessary columns

    Step 4: Find target class

    Step 5: Find the frequency of target class

    Step 6: Import libraries for text processing


    Step 7: Define functions to process text

    Step 8: Call functions for text processing


    Step 9: Convert text to vector
    The code sample below converts text to vector using TfidVectorizer and
    unigrams. In addition to it, use possible combinations of Countvectorizer,
    unigram, and bigrams.

    Step 10: Convert target values to numbers

    Step 11: Develop machine learning models using one or


    more of the Ensemble Learning techniques – Bagging,
    Boosting, and Random Forest. Use following resources
    https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.ensemble.BaggingClassifier.html

    https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.ensemble.AdaBoostClassifier.html

    https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.ensemble.RandomForestClassifier.html

    Step 12: Check predictions

    Step 13: Check accuracy scores

    Step 14: Display confusion matrix


    Explain how to read confusion matrix

    Step 15: Obtain encoded labels to text


    Note: Step 10 converts target labels to numbers. The numbers can be converted back to the
    text using inverse_transform() function.

    Step 16: Using the information in step 15, display confusion


    matrix with text in X and Y axis.
