Classifying text to determine a goal type used to select machine learning algorithm outcomes

Abstract:

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for classifying text to determine a goal type used to select machine learning algorithm outcomes. Natural language processing of text is performed to determine features in the text and their relationships. A classifier classifies the text based on the relationships and features to determine a goal type. The determined features and relationships from the text are inputted into a plurality of different machine learning algorithms to generate outcomes. For each of the machine learning algorithms, a determination is made of performance measurements resulting from the machine learning algorithms generating the outcomes. A determination is made of at least one machine learning algorithm having performance measurements that are highly correlated to the determined goal type. An outcome is determined from at least one of the outcomes.
