Mining economic prosperity and environmental empathy indicators to classify empathy

摘要

The role of environmental empathy indicators mentioned in this paper affect the empathy level of a country and shows how much a country is empathetic. We put forward a methodology to classify a country's empathy by dividing it into five labels: (1) apathetic; (2) less-empathetic; (3) empathetic; (4) more-empathetic;(5) future-empathetic, by mining the selected economic prosperity and environmental empathy indicators. We justified our indicators by means of unsupervised clustering, and clustered world countries with respect to the economic prosperity and environmental empathy indicators and assigned them labels. Furthermore, building hierarchical structured decision trees on the labeled dataset help us in finding important patterns in classification of empathy and to evaluate the level of empathy of a country in an interesting and effective way.
