Hi Allan,

If I understood it correctly, you are using the classifier without the TP
or the SP. Is that correct? I think you should try with the SP, it will
probably yield much better results.

I also suggest testing on a different dataset, so you can check whether the
model is generalizing well or just overfitting.

Pedro.
