Search engines, newspapers, or e-commerce portals categorize their content or their products to facilitate the search and navigation. Understand your clients and what they say about your products by categorizing the conversations on social networks or contact centers.
MeaningCloud's Text Classification API
This API automatically categorizes your texts in a hierarchical classification or taxonomy. MeaningCloud can classify any kind of text, from web pages to social media content, of any length and in several languages. The API features various predefined standard classification models, but you can also define your own classification schemes or models.
A standard classification, for example IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council), is used by the media to assign pieces of news to different sections: politics, sports or economy. This classification includes more than 1300 categories organized hierarchically in 3 levels. Therefore, news can be associated with broad but detailed categories such as 'politics - government - privatization' or 'sports - basketball - NBA'.
It also enables to define your own classification models, which can be as simple as a binary classification (ham or spam) or as complex as a taxonomy with multiple hierarchical levels. The classification models of MeaningCloud's Text Classification API combine a statistical model and/or classification rules. You can train the statistical model using example texts for each category and optionally refine the classification through specific rules.
