Replication Package for the Paper: "A Machine Learning Based Ensemble Method for Automatic Classification of Decisions"

This is the replication package for the paper: "A Machine Learning Based Ensemble Method for Automatic Classification of Decisions". It contains the source code and dataset of our experiment for the replication by other researchers. In the meanwhile, we provide brief description of the files in the replication package in the following.

1. code folder

• experiment.py  contains the source code for our experiment, which is conducted on Windows 10 and Python 3.7.0. Note that you may get slightly different experiment results when conducting the experiments on different environment configurations.
• requirements.txt  records all the installation packages and their version numbers needed for the current program to run. You can use "pip install -r requirements.txt" to rebuild the project and install all dependencies. Note that you may get slightly different experiment results when using different packages or versions. 

2. dataset folder

• decisions.xlsx  contains 848 labelled sentence-level decisions from the Hibernate developer mailing list.
