About Bag of words
I started to write Bag of words as a means to share some of my thoughts around the use of data, analytics and AI by public servants.
The views expressed here are my own, and do not in any way represent the opinions of my NRC colleagues or the position of the Government of Canada.
The title of this blog is inspired from the bag-of-words model, a method often used in the natural language processing field to extract features from text documents and training machine learning algorithms.
