Problem statement
Build a forum post classifier and basic recommender, that will help us classify/recommend forum posts to help the user find similar posts or figure out what category a post belongs to.
How are we going to do this?
- Collect the data: We will pick the Discourse Hub Community forums as our main data resource. You can either scrap one or several forums.
- Explore your data (EDA): After gathering our data, we will analyze it to understand the data and get familiar with it before feeding it to ML models.
- Calculate similarity between posts and recommend: We will vectorize our data, and compute the similarity matrix then use it to recommend posts similar to a certain post.
- Train ML classifiers and classify a post into its appropriate category.
- Compare and choose the best approach: evaluate the results of step 3 and 4 and choose the best one.
- Build a simple web app using Flask or Streamlit.
- Deploy your web app using AWS or Heroku or some other service.
