Short description

The AITextClassifier component processes probabilistic multi-label classification; that is, it scores input text field(s) against pre-trained set of classes.

The list of classes the component is able to identify and score is determined by the model.

For example, with a model trained for sentiment analysis, the component will be able to return two classes (POSITIVE, NEGATIVE) and corresponding probabilistic scores for each.

If you want to define your own classes, see AIZeroShotClassifier.

For more granular classification within text (tokens), see AITokenClassifier.

AITextClassifier attributes

Attribute Req Description Possible values

Attribute	Req	Description	Possible values
Model
Server model		Recommended: Use a model installed as a library on the CloverDX Server. Check CloverDX Marketplace for available ready-to-use models. This is a more convenient alternative to Classification model directory.
Classification model directory		Path to the machine learning model directory. It is required unless Server model is defined.
Model name	no	A read-only field displaying name defined in model configuration files (if available).
Device	yes	The device to run the model – either processor (CPU) or graphics card (GPU). You must set the device the model is designed for. GPU models are much faster but you need a specialized hardware to use them.	CPU (default) \| GPU
Model arguments	no	Configuration arguments for the model. See documentation of your particular model.
Tokenizer arguments	no	Configuration arguments for the tokenizer. See documentation of your particular model.
Translator arguments	no	Configuration arguments for the translator. See documentation of your particular model.
Input / output parameters
Fields to classify	yes	List of `string` fields to be classified.
Text classes and thresholds	no	List of text classes whose score shall be computed. The classes are model-dependent; you can use only some of them, but you cannot add classes unknown to the model (AIZeroShotClassifier servers for this purpose). Optional thresholds define the minimum score at which the particular class is added to output. If not specified, AITextClassifier uses all classes defined by the model.
Classification output field	no	An output field which will store the analysis results. It must be of variant type. If the field already contains some analysis, the analyses are merged, so that you can concatenate several AI components and use their combined output.
Batch size	no	Number of records processed by model together.	an integer number
Error handling
Token overflow policy	no	Specifies behavior when some input text cannot be encoded because it exceeds the model-specific maximum length. The strict policy causes the component to fail while lenient just logs a warning and truncates the input.	strict (default) \| lenient
Advanced
Transform	no	Set of CTL methods to control what units are used to generate output records. A separate record can be created for each input record, each text–class pair, or both. For example, you can find the class with the greatest score and only generate output for this class.

Model

Server model

Recommended: Use a model installed as a library on the CloverDX Server. Check CloverDX Marketplace for available ready-to-use models. This is a more convenient alternative to Classification model directory.

Classification model directory

Path to the machine learning model directory. It is required unless Server model is defined.

Model name

A read-only field displaying name defined in model configuration files (if available).

Device

yes

The device to run the model – either processor (CPU) or graphics card (GPU). You must set the device the model is designed for. GPU models are much faster but you need a specialized hardware to use them.

CPU (default) | GPU

Model arguments

Configuration arguments for the model. See documentation of your particular model.

Tokenizer arguments

Configuration arguments for the tokenizer. See documentation of your particular model.

Translator arguments

Configuration arguments for the translator. See documentation of your particular model.

Input / output parameters

Fields to classify

yes

List of string fields to be classified.

Text classes and thresholds

List of text classes whose score shall be computed. The classes are model-dependent; you can use only some of them, but you cannot add classes unknown to the model (AIZeroShotClassifier servers for this purpose). Optional thresholds define the minimum score at which the particular class is added to output.

If not specified, AITextClassifier uses all classes defined by the model.

Classification output field

An output field which will store the analysis results. It must be of variant type. If the field already contains some analysis, the analyses are merged, so that you can concatenate several AI components and use their combined output.

Batch size

Number of records processed by model together.

an integer number

Error handling

Token overflow policy

Specifies behavior when some input text cannot be encoded because it exceeds the model-specific maximum length. The strict policy causes the component to fail while lenient just logs a warning and truncates the input.

strict (default) | lenient

Advanced

Transform

Set of CTL methods to control what units are used to generate output records. A separate record can be created for each input record, each text–class pair, or both.

For example, you can find the class with the greatest score and only generate output for this class.
