Abstract
This project aims to develop an effective machine learning text-based industry classification. We explore the use of various word embedding schemes and clustering algorithms for industry classification. BERT, word2vec, doc2vec, latent semantic indexing are used for word embedding, while greedy cosine-similarity, k-means, Gaussian mixture model, and deep embedding for clustering are used as clustering algorithms. We present our results for the companies listed in the US and Chinese markets.
