This model is designed to classify news articles
Model Details
Model Description
This model is designed to classify news articles from the Daily Mirror Online, a Sri Lankan news source,
into five categories: Business, Opinion, Political Gossip, Sports, and World News. And this model is developed to analyze and process news content for tasks such as sentiment analysis, or summarization
Data Sources [optional]
The original dataset contained real news content of Daily Mirror , after preprocessing, 1,015 records were selected for training.The data split as %80 train and %20 validation.
Uses
Direct Use
The model can be used for:
Automatic categorization of Sri Lankan news articles
News filtering and recommendation systems
Preliminary analysis of sentiment in news articles
Downstream Use [optional]
News aggregation platforms can use the model to categorize and sort articles.
Journalists and researchers can analyze media trends based on category distributions.
Out-of-Scope Use
This model should not be used for critical decision-making tasks such as political analysis, stock market predictions, or legal judgments.
It may not generalize well to non-Sri Lankan news sources.
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
The dataset is limited to Daily Mirror Online, which may introduce biases in classification.
The model might misclassify articles if they contain mixed topics.
The dataset size is small (1,015 articles), which may impact performance on diverse news sources.
