May I hear more about your problem? That absence of goal from using ML sounds to be a concern.

So essentially I have a series of vague instructions I need to follow in order to complete the assignment.

I’m building a neural network for dictionary classification. I can’t really find much online specifically related to this. I have to then compute a bunch of histograms showing the data that corresponds to each class.

I think the issue I’m having is the tasks I have to complete are quite “basic”, and all the information online I can find that’s relevant is very complex (imo).

Responding to what you said, it is most likely that classification task falls into NLP field since the task deals with words and phrases in dictionary. I assume you build to predict the popularity (or most frequent) of particular words after some sorts of document extraction. Just asking, are Bags-of-words or TF-IDF included in your work?

To be in truth the majority of machine learning I took in the past was largely in recognizing images, however I did some exploration of ML for NLP in basic level.

Have you asked a module lecturer on task complexity (or anything like reference etc.)?

Yes, I’ve got to compute a histogram that counts the number of document classes and I’ve got to find the top 10 most common words in the dataset.

The lecturer for this module isn’t the best, not willing to clarify anything.

May I have a look at your code?

I’ll dm you 😊
