A Machine Learning Approach to Classifying Construction Cost Documents into the International Construction Measurement Standard. (arXiv:2211.07705v1 [cs.CL])
cs.CL updates on arXiv.org arxiv.org
We introduce the first automated models for classifying natural language
descriptions provided in cost documents called "Bills of Quantities" (BoQs)
popular in the infrastructure construction industry, into the International
Construction Measurement Standard (ICMS). The models we deployed and
systematically evaluated for multi-class text classification are learnt from a
dataset of more than 50 thousand descriptions of items retrieved from 24 large
infrastructure construction projects across the United Kingdom. We describe our
approach to language representation and subsequent modelling to examine …
