Comparison of Machine Learning Approaches for Industry Classification Based on Textual Descriptions of Companies

Andrey Tagarev, Nikola Tulechki, Svetla Boytcheva


Abstract
This paper addresses the task of categorizing companies within industry classification schemes. The datasets consists of encyclopedic articles about companies and their economic activities. The target classification schema is build by mapping linked open data in a semi-supervised manner. Target classes are build bottom-up from DBpedia. We apply several state of the art text classification techniques, based both on deep-learning and classical vector-space models.
