ClassifierCreate

Create a classifier to use to classify documents.

Classifiers allow you to categorize documents by using the random forest algorithm. Each classifier defines a set of classes, which you must create and train with relevant data. You can then use the classifier to assign documents to the most relevant class.

When you send the ClassifierCreate action, you must set ClassifierName to a unique name for the new classifier, and set ClassifierType to the type of classifier (RandomForest). You must also set the FeatureFields parameter to a comma-separated list of fields from your training documents that contain the text that you want to use to classify your documents.

After you create the classifier, you must create and train classes by using the ClassifierAddClass action. You then train and build the classifier by using the ClassifierTrain action. After you have trained the classifier, you can use the ClassifierQuery action to classify documents.

Example

http://12.3.4.56:9020/action=ClassifierCreate&ClassifierType=RandomForest&ClassifierName=food&FeatureFields=ingredient,flavor,accompaniments,meal

This action creates a random forest classifier with the name food. The classifier uses features in the ingredient, flavor, accompaniments, and meal fields to classify documents.

Required Parameters

The following action parameters are required.

Parameter Description
ClassifierName The name of the classifier to create.
ClassifierType The type of classifier to create.
FeatureFields The document fields to use as features in the classifier.

Optional Parameters

Parameter Description
ActionID A string to use to identify an ACI action.
EncryptResponse Encrypt the output.
FileName The file to write output to.
ForceTemplateRefresh Forces the server to load the template from disk.
Output Writes output to a file.
ResponseFormat The format of the action output.
Template The template to use for the action output.
