Abstract
The objective of this work is to propose a real time newsfeed system for an Android smart phone. This work proposes a system for automatic categorization of news items into a standard set of categories. Newsfeed system i.e. ‘INSIDER’ changes the things around a little. This android application is useful to provide relevant and up to date information as per user’s requirement. It provides a platform to personalize and organize their news feed based on their interest. The main purpose of implementing this system is to increase the accessibility of important notices. It classifies the messages category wise. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling technique is used to achieve the goal of this work. LDA algorithm is “generative probabilistic model” basically works on discrete data. This work is validated using a data set taken from “newsapi.org”.
