Semi-supervised Bayesian model for geographical document classification.Newsmap automatically constructs a large geographical dictionary from acorpus to accurate classify documents. Currently, thenewsmappackage contains seed dictionaries in multiple languages that includeEnglish,German,French,Spanish,Portuguese,Russian,Italian,Arabic,Turkish,Hebrew,Japanese,Chinese.
The detail of the algorithm is explained inNewsmap: semi-supervisedapproach to geographical newsclassification.newsmap has also been used in scientific research in various fields(GoogleScholar).
newsmap is available on CRAN since the version 0.6. You can installthe package using R Studio GUI or the command.
install.packages("newsmap")If you want to the latest version, please install by running thiscommand in R. You need to havedevtools installed beforehand.
install.packages("devtools")devtools::install_github("koheiw/newsmap")
In this example, using a text analysis packagequanteda for preprocessing of textual data,we train a geographical classification model on acorpus of newssummaries collected from YahooNews viaRSS in 2014.

| text68 | Up to $1,000 a day to care for child migrants. More than 57,000 unaccompanied children, mostly from Central America, have been caught entering the country illegally since last October, and President Barack Obama has asked for $3.7 billion in emergency funding to address what he has called an “urgent humanitarian solution.” “One of the figures that sticks in everybody’s mind is we’re paying about $250 to $1,000 per child,” Senator Jeff Flake told reporters, citing figures presented at a closed-door briefing by Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. Federal authorities are struggling to find more cost-effective housing, medical care, counseling and legal services for the undocumented minors. The base cost per bed was $250 per day, including other services, Senator Dianne Feinstein said, without providing details. | us |

More than 1,000 people have been killed so far this year in three states in northeastern Nigeria worst hit by Boko Haram violence, according to the country’s main relief organisation. The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) figures are the starkest indication yet of the increase in bloodshed in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe that have caused growing concern. NEMA said in a presentation in Abuja on Tuesday that people living in the states were “caught up in an intensifying conflict”, which has been raging since 2009. Violence has increased in northeastern Nigeria since the new year, including a high-profile attack on a boarding school in Yobe, which saw dozens of students slaughtered in their beds. | ng |
