Sports Text Classifier

Overview

This Sports Text Classifier is a crucial component of the OnlySports Dataset creation pipeline. It's designed to accurately identify and extract sports-related documents from a large corpus of web content.

Model Architecture

  • Base model: Snowflake-arctic-embed-xs
  • Additional layer: Binary classification layer
  • Training: 10 epochs with a learning rate of 3e-4

Performance

The classifier achieves exceptional accuracy in distinguishing between sports and non-sports documents:

Training Data

The classifier was trained on a balanced dataset of sports and non-sports content:

  • 64k samples from seven prestigious sports websites
  • 36k non-sports text documents classified using GPT-3.5

Usage

This classifier is primarily used in the creation of the OnlySports Dataset, presented in this paper. It can be applied to filter large text corpora for sports-related content with high accuracy.

Integration

The classifier is integrated into a MapReduce architecture for efficient processing of large-scale datasets. It's used in conjunction with URL keyword filtering to create a comprehensive sports text dataset.
