Naive-Bayes-on-DONAR-CHOOSE

It contains application of naive bayes model on a big textual data set. The problems is an example of NLP based solution on 2 different kind of vetorization.

DonorsChoose is a United States–based nonprofit organization that allows individuals to donate directly to public school classroom projects. Founded in 2000 by former public school teacher Charles Best, DonorsChoose was among the first civic crowdfunding platforms of its kind.

DonorsChoose.org receives hundreds of thousands of project proposals each year for classroom projects in need of funding. Right now, a large number of volunteers is needed to manually screen each submission before it's approved to be posted on the DonorsChoose.org website.

Next year, DonorsChoose.org expects to receive close to 500,000 project proposals. As a result, there are three main problems they need to solve:

  • How to scale current manual processes and resources to screen 500,000 projects so that they can be posted as quickly and as efficiently as possible
  • How to increase the consistency of project vetting across different volunteers to improve the experience for teachers
  • How to focus volunteer time on the applications that need the most assistance

The goal of the competition is to predict whether or not a DonorsChoose.org project proposal submitted by a teacher will be approved, using the text of project descriptions as well as additional metadata about the project, teacher, and school. DonorsChoose.org can then use this information to identify projects most likely to need further review before approval.

Additionally, the resources.csv data set provides more data about the resources required for each project. Each line in this file represents a resource required by a project:

Feature Description
id A project_id value from the train.csv file. Example: p036502
description Desciption of the resource. Example: Tenor Saxophone Reeds, Box of 25
quantity Quantity of the resource required. Example: 3
price Price of the resource required. Example: 9.95

Note: Many projects require multiple resources. The id value corresponds to a project_id in train.csv, so you use it as a key to retrieve all resources needed for a project:

The data set contains the following label (the value you will attempt to predict):

Label Description
project_is_approved A binary flag indicating whether DonorsChoose approved the project. A value of 0 indicates the project was not approved, and a value of 1 indicates the project was approved.
