Natural Language Processing with R: POS Tagging and Named Entity Recognition
Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging is a fundamental NLP task that assigns grammatical categories—such as nouns, verbs, or adjectives—to individual words within a tokenized sequence. In the context of the Chinese language, precise POS tagging is essential for information extraction and stylometric analysis. When using the jiebaR package for R, the und ...

Feature Selection and Variable Importance Ranking with the caret Package in R
Feature selection is a critical stage in machine learning workflows that helps in reducing model complexity and improving predictive accuracy. Ranking features by their relative importance allows practitioners to implement selection strategies such as Top-N (selecting the highest-ranked N features) or Top-percent (selecting features that fall w ...

Degree Sequences and Constructing Graphs from Graphic Sequences
Definition of Degree
The degree of a vertex (v) in a graph (G), denoted by (d_G(v)), is the number of edges of (G) incident with (v), with each loop counting as two edges. (J.A. Bondy, Graph Theory)
Two fundamental results follow from this definition:
Handshaking Theorem: For any graph (G),
[
\sum_{v \in V} d(v) = 2m
]
where (m) is the number ...
