Semi-supervised Classification on a Text Dataset#
In this example, semi-supervised classifiers are trained on the 20 newsgroups dataset (which will be automatically downloaded).
You can adjust the number of categories by giving their names to the dataset
loader or setting them to None
to get all 20 of them.
