Analyzing 10 years of startup news with Machine Learning

This is the final part in a series where we use machine learning and natural language processing to analyze articles published in tech news sites in order to gain insights about the state of the startup industry. Let's visualize the coverage per industry for all the articles published in the last ten years to find out: The most popular startup industry in the last ten years has been Mobile. Right when this industry started to gain visibility in 2013, Oculus Rift was the top keyword by a wide margin. The only way to perform an analysis like this is using machine learning and natural language processing, since there's no way we can get a person to read through and interpret 270,000 articles.
