| The ethnicity classifier is developed at the Computer Science Department, Stony Brook University under the guidance of Prof. Steven Skiena. In this project, we tried to aggregate entities into different ethnic groups. We formed a hierarchical structure of ethnicities and then used our classifier to predict the ethnicity of a given name at different levels of this decision tree. The training data was obtained from Wikipedia. This Web-UI allows the user to enter a name or a set of names which can then be classified into appropriate ethnic groups by our classifier model. For a quick feel, have a look at these examples. |
