How Far Can Classical NLP Go? From Bag-of-Words to Stacking on Spooky Author Identification | Towards Data Science
An end-to-end classical NLP experiment on Kaggle’s Spooky Author Identification task: from Vowpal Wabbit and TF-IDF/NB-SVM baselines to a tuned stacked ensemble, with a compact representation survey of Bag-of-Words, BM25, Word2Vec, and FastText for context.
🚀 Looking for a portfolio-ready NLP project?
I recently published an end-to-end walkthrough on Towards Data Science using Kaggle’s Spooky Author Identification dataset.
You’ll see how far classical NLP can go with:
📝 Bag-of-Words and TF-IDF
🔤 Character n-grams
📊 Model comparison
🧩 Ensemble stacking
It’s a practical project for anyone preparing for an ML/DS role, with no deep learning required. I walk through the entire workflow step by step:
