  • Vocabulary Count Feature Vectors for Medical School Classifier

    Dataset thumbnail: Vocabulary Count Feature Vectors for Medical School Classifier
    Type:
    Dataset
    Description/Abstract:
    Classifier algorithms use the features (collectively known as Feature Vectors) of each item in a dataset to assess the classification to which that item belongs. In this classifier approach, each item represents one document containing the application essay combined with unstructured language describing relevant activities of a single applicant. For privacy, the full text of this document is not provided. Instead, each document is represented only by its features. The feature vector for this classifier is based on the term frequency for each of the identified terms. E.G. Doc_A contains 0 occurrences of any terms identified as family medicine vocabulary, and 10 occurrences of terms from the the non-family-medicine vocabulary.

  • Vocabulary Comparison of Medical School Applications

    Dataset thumbnail: Vocabulary Comparison of Medical School Applications
    Type:
    Dataset
    Description/Abstract:
    W2V takes terms from a large corpus of text and models them onto a vector space, based on word associations from your dataset. These Word Associations take into account each word's immediate context (its ten neighboring words).​ Following the data modeling (large-scale unstructured text), The platform then generates a visualization of this vector space, which lets us perform analysis e.g. detect synonymous/synonym-ish words and highlight related words. At the heart of this project, is W2V's ability to identify key words that were more frequent - and more unique - to each group using results from 2 different W2V models – one for each group's application texts.​ We coded these Key Terms into categories, then analyzed those categories for overarching themes.​ ​
