Neural Network for classification with string input features

4 views (last 30 days)
I have a classification problem where I think some kind of neural network (or maybe another machine learning approach) could be successful. For a given case, I have N string "tags" (each tag can have variable length). Given those N tags, I'd like to classify the case into one of M classes. Note that the input tags are messy and inconsistent from case to case (i.e., spaces in some cases, not others, some have underscores, different capitalization. etc). Does Matlab have features that would allow me to build a classifier with this type of input? Poking around the net, I also found the NLTK python package which may be able to help. But The rest of my program is all Matlab-based so I'd like to keep it that way if possible. Any advice or help would be much appreciated.
Thanks! Justin
