I suspect this man is waiting for Buhari to do his double term allowed then run as a southern candidate. Makes more sense.

Imagine only $60b of that being properly utilized to build refineries and power plants / power transmission alone. PDP ruined us with corruption.
Christianity EtcRe: Deeper Life Church Builds Bridge, Car Park, Traffic Lights For Gbagada Community by Desyner: 8:29pm On Feb 27, 2018
Christians and non-Christians pay tax to cater for things they share. That's the purpose around which a govt is established and I wonder what the govt is doing with my tax if church contribution has to be used in bailing out the govt in infrastructure?
The church was directed to help the needy individuals and not the wasteful bodies.
I see this as misplaced priority.

The military now feels like "The Northern Army". The warning letter sounds vague. It was like a general warning.

Hey, did you read about the tf-idf(term frequency-inverse document frequency) i told you about in the other thread were you first raised this issue?
If you did, you would have solved your problem by now.

POS tagging may find similarity in sentence structure; for example; "'Buhari is the best president Nigeria ever had'" and "Trump is the best player China never had" would give the same part-of-speech structure but there aren't similar.
Well, pos tagging can only go far, but not far enough.

The purpose of TF-IDF is just to represent words as numbers(or vectorisation) for easy computation. From the name you would know this works by getting frequecny of words(normalized though) * total number of times words appear in a document(well this explanation is just me making it easy wink ).

This link should explain it simply for you and the code is written in java; It's been long i wrote Java code, but tf-idf should be easy to implement yourself once you understand it and i just skim through that link but i think it's explained simply enough.

After getting tf-idf of words in document, we can find similarity between two documents by computing the similarity between the two values(note that this values are represented as vectors for example 1,2,3 can be represented as (0,1), (0,2), (0,3) and (0,4))

And from mathematics we can find similarities between points in a graph or vector space with varieties of formulas including Euclidean distance, mahattan distance, jaccard similarity, cosine similarity and so on.

The best algorithm for this kind of situation is cosine similarity. I don't want to go into mathematical details of why it is, if you are an engineering student then it will be obvious why cosine similarity works best for one dimensional data(sparse vectors), if you are not, don't worry just memorise the formula for now, till you go deeper in machine learning.

I don't know how to write mathematical formulas well on a webpage last time i explained something similar to someone i used image and python code to explain, but seems the image is not showing again.

The image below shows the formula for cosine similarity.
Note that the tf-idf value you get for two documents represent A and B.

So the lower the value you get from calculating the similarity implies how dissimilar the documents are and vice-versa.
Just put a threshold value of say 0.6 to be comfortable or test for cross validation.

However, the link i gave also computes cosine similarity.
i have gone through your reply. I found that tf-idf concept too detailed for my task initially but after this reply I have to go research it further. The method I adapted gave almost 100% result when the keywords or important tokens weren't changing. I hope the tf-idf approach solves the challenge of interpreting synonyms in their context correctly.

The public schools in your place needs help, if that is the case.


Learn not to generalize . I attended a public school. It's practically impossible to sort your way through.

When people talk of "sorting", I find it strange cos our system did not allow it. If it was that easy, those influential people and children of professors , heads of department, Deans , lecturers, etc, won't be having issues of failure like everyone did on campus.
the bold is also true for private uni. Next time u guys should learn to be reasonable when pulling down your competition.

Listen to yourself. If private uni grads are feeling inferior why is it the public uni grad who always start the attack? Have you seen truly successful folks who gather to gossip the not so successful folks around them?
