pyss3 0.3.0

Python package that implements the SS3 text classifier (with visualizations tools for XAI)

# PySS3: A python package implementing a novel text classifier with visualization tools for Explainable AI [](http://pyss3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest) [](https://travis-ci.org/sergioburdisso/pyss3)

The SS3 text classifier was originally introduced in Section 3 of the [paper](https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2019.05.023) entitled _”A text classification framework for simple and effective early depression detection over social media streams”_ (preprint available [here](https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.08772)).

SS3 highlights:

• A novel text classifier having the ability to visually explain its rationale.

• Domain-independent classification that does not require feature engineering.

• Naturally supports incremental (online) learning and incremental classification.
