A classifier is a type of model that you can use to automate identification and classification of a document type. Creating a classifier enables you to create a new SharePoint content type that will be associated to the model.
Create your own classifiers or use examples of the document type ("example files") to train your model.
To create a classifier to identify files that have the same content type:
-
On the Model home page, select Train classifier.
This displays the label page of the classifier, and the first file of the training set is shown in the viewer.
-
Mark the files as positive or negative examples of your document type by selecting Yes or No for each sample file.
-
For each file in the sample set, select at least 5 positive examples and 1 negative example.
-
Positive example: Documents that represent the document type. These contain strings and information that would always be in this type of document.
-
Negative example: Any other document that does not represent the document you want to classify.
-
Next, you’re ready to train your model.
