Abstract:
The natural language processing pipeline powered by the BART model is a popular zero-shot text classification system. While the standard approach for using this pipeline can achieve impressive accuracies in many multiclass classification tasks, we believed that there was still room to improve and developed an improved approach for that. Both approaches were used for the classification of narrative reports, and the results showed that the improved approach could increase the accuracies significantly over the standard approach. The improved approach is made general and can be applied to other use cases as well.

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data
Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...
