Cos tAccount Categorization in Project Controls using Python Machine Learning for Construction Infrastructure

    Hi all

    Just shared a new tutorial for data scientists interested in applied project management. We show how to use Python (TF-IDF, Cosine Similarity, and Logistic Regression) to automate and standardize cost account (COA) classification for construction/infrastructure projects.

    This is a great example of using ML to solve a messy, real-world data problem-saving time and reducing manual errors in project controls.

    Great video! I've been working on assigning cost accounts to schedule activities and I think this would be a good method to test out.
