Description

Session Goal: The session aimed to develop a comprehensive automated pipeline for processing news articles, including scraping, extraction, classification, and analysis.

Key Activities:

  • Explored techniques for summarizing news articles and extracting relevant information using both extractive and abstractive methods.
  • Planned and set up workflows for advanced article extraction using Newspaper3k and database integration for structured and unstructured data.
  • Executed initial workflows for news scraping and extraction, with placeholders for NLP tasks.
  • Analyzed article titles related to Argentine politics, categorizing them into themes like economic policies and government actions.
  • Proposed and refined an article classification system using BERT, with steps for storing results in BigQuery.
  • Addressed Python library warnings and resolved import errors for BERT model deployment.
  • Managed disk space using Linux commands and handled DataFrame text classification errors.
  • Fine-tuned BERT for sequence classification, providing installation and usage guidance.

Achievements:

  • Successfully set up an automated pipeline for news article processing, including scraping, extraction, classification, and analysis.
  • Resolved technical issues related to Python libraries and model deployment.

Pending Tasks:

  • Implement entity recognition and summarization enhancements in the pipeline.
  • Continue refining classification models and workflows for better accuracy and efficiency.
