Hi,

I need your help about the best method to follow in order to classify correctly, just as a human would do the classification, a set of users based on there posts (as text). - I know a little bit about classification algorithms and i don't really know which one will be suitable for such task. Can you enlighten me on this ? - Is there a way to implement a non-supervised technique so that the system will not have to be pre-trained ?

Thank you.

Can you explain a bit better exactly what kind of groups you are trying to classify them into. Usually grouping something in an unsupervised was is called clustering.

Thanks for your answer Ryan. I spoke in my question about classifying because the classes are known. Lets say we have to classify our users into "Scientist" or "Writer", as i already said, based on some posts they made (text). What would be the best approach to achieve that goal ?
