Textual Novelty Detection
The article explains how to use the Minimum Covariance Determinant (MCD) method to detect novel news headlines. The MCD method estimates the covariance matrix of a dataset to identify outliers or anomalies. By applying MCD to news headlines, it is possible to determine if an article contains new information that is not available elsewhere. The…
