Covid semaphore prediction

The task consists of determining the Mexican Epidemiological Semaphore through the covid news in Mexico. The epidemiological semaphore, among other things, allows the activities for the tourism sector. It is a system of four ordered colors: red, orange, yellow, and green, where red is the most restrictive, and green is the most permissive. This color is determined taking into account various factors such as the capacity of hospitals, the contagion and death curve, available ventilators, among others. 

This is a 4-classes classification task: red, orange, yellow, and green. Each instance in the dataset provided to the participants consists of the news and the Mexican state where it was published. Each participant team must classify the semaphore color for the week in which the news was published (week 0), the semaphore color 2 weeks later (week 2), the semaphore color one month later (week 4), and finally, the semaphore color of 2 months later (week 8).
