This is a Natural Language Processing project which addresses hyperpartisanism [1].

Formally, the task is defined as: Given a news article text, decide whether it follows a hyperpartisan argumentation, i.e., whether it exhibits blind, prejudiced, or unreasoning allegiance to one party, faction, cause, or person. The project will use the official data from a recent competition [2]. A strong deliverable should consist of a text categorization system written in Python that works, i.e., produces output that can be evaluated using the official evaluation script; and whose design is the result of well informed data-driven intuitions as well as software engineering best practices.
