1.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
As stated earlier, statistical pattern recognition, or neural network are used in classifying documents, this project work will concentrate on using machine learning algorithm to classify document.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The software delivered from this project work will greatly reduce the time used by doctors, physicians and other health workers in searching and retrieving documents.
Other importance of this project work includes:
1. Helps students and other interested individuals that want to develop a similar application.
2. It will serve as source of materials for those interested in investigating the processes involved in developing a document classification system using machine learning.
3. It will serve as source of materials for students who are interested in studying machine learning.
