This page documents a planned research project.
Information may be incomplete and change before the project starts.


Problem edit

An organization which conducts product research has two data science projects. Student researchers could take either one -

  1. In a large set of photographs, identify the general type of product pictured and sort the photos. (e.g., phone, television, car, bedroom, etc.)
  2. In many product reviews and advertisements perform keyword disambiguation for mentioned terms. (e.g., Determine if "apple" refers to an advertisement for juice or phones)

Objective edit

Sort various media related to products, including advertisements, reviews, and user feedback, to categorize the media by its subject.
