Getting the dataset and evaluation baseline ready

Classifying texts is a classic NLP problem. This NLP task involves assigning a value to a text, for example, a topic or a sentiment, and any such task requires evaluation.

Getting ready

For most recipes in this chapter, we will use the BBC News dataset, which contains text from five topics: business, entertainment, politics, sport, and tech. The dataset is located in the bbc-text.csv file in this chapter's GitHub directory.

In this recipe, we will need two additional packages, numpy and sklearn. Install them using pip:
