Natural Language Processing with Disaster Tweets

Overview

This competition is designed for beginners interested in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and is a great starting point for learning. You'll build a model to predict whether a tweet is about a real disaster or not, using a dataset of 10,000 hand-classified tweets. You can do all your work using Kaggle's free Notebooks.

Requirements

Teams can be formed, or you can participate individually. This competition is ideal for those new to NLP or data science, with no specific experience required. You'll use Kaggle Notebooks to develop your model and submit a CSV file with 'id' and 'target' columns, where 'target' is 1 for a disaster tweet and 0 otherwise. Your code won't be re-run on a hidden test set.

Prizes

This is a 'Getting Started' competition, so there are no cash prizes or medals. The main benefit is the knowledge and experience you'll gain in NLP and using Kaggle's platform.
