Training:

1. Extract dataset directory (dataset/bbc-fulltext.zip). The directory should be named bbc.

2. Run compile.py in the /dataset directory from your terminal to compile the text files into single dataset file.

   $ cd dataset

   $ python compile.py

3. Run engine.py.

   $ python engine.py

4. If there is no pickle files, the system will automatically train the dataset and generate pickle files. This could take some time depends on your hardware.

5. If you want to retrain your system simply delete the pickles directory.

Classification:

1. Run the app.py file.

   $ python app.py

2. Using Postman (or similar tools), send POST request to http://127.0.0.1:5050/classify with these form data:
