چکیده
We present a new semi-supervised learning algorithm for classifying political blogs in a blog network and ranking them within predicted classes. We test our algorithm on two datasets and achieve classification accuracy of 81.9% and 84.6% using only 2 seed blogs.

The MultiRank Bootstrap Algorithm: Semi-Supervised Political Blog Classification and Ranking Using Semi-Supervised Link Classification
We present a new, intuitive semi-supervised learning algorithm for classifying political blogs in a blog network and ranking them within classes. In the algorithm each link is assigned a label as well as the blogs. Using only the link structure as input and by exploiting the linking properties found in political blog communities, we bootstrap the classification of links and blogs and blog ranki...

متن کاملUser Evaluation of a System for Classifying and Displaying Political Viewpoints of Weblogs
This paper presents a Web-based user evaluation of a system for classifying and presenting political viewpoints of blog posts. The system is based on a classification model trained using a supervised learning algorithm, and the data set consists of recent posts from blogs that are self-identified as a liberal or a conservative viewpoint. We first discuss the classification process. Then, with a...
متن کاملSemi-Supervised Learning Based Prediction of Musculoskeletal Disorder Risk
This study explores a semi-supervised classification approach using random forest as a base classifier to classify the low-back disorders (LBDs) risk associated with the industrial jobs. Semi-supervised classification approach uses unlabeled data together with the small number of labelled data to create a better classifier. The results obtained by the proposed approach are compared with those o...
متن کاملFinding Bias in Political News and Blog Websites
News and blog websites often have political bias (such as Republican, Democratic) in their articles. Automatic detection of the bias will improve personalized feed and categorization of news and blog articles. Our project aims to predict Republican vs. Democratic bias of news websites and political blogs using the phrases (a.k.a. memes) they quote in their text. We form a bipartite graph of web...
