(Deprecated) TFIDF
Deprecated
This method is deprecated. LLM-based methods replace this method.
Description
Classifies fields by comparing them to sample snippets of free text that you provide. For example, for a source field like this:
{
"menu_items": [
{
"type":"string",
"value":"blackberry sorbet"
},
{
"type":"string",
"value":"seared steak with fingerling potatos "
},
{
"type":"string",
"value":"chocolate cake with rasberry glaze"
}
]
}
You can return a classification for each array element as a parallel array , like this:
{
"classified_menu_items": [
{
"id":"dessert",
"document":"sorbet, cake, ice cream, custard, creme brulee, pudding, chocolate, cookie, mousse, flan"
},
{
"id":"meat_entree",
"value":"steak, chicken, lamb, pork, beef, turkey, goat, leg, breast, shank, hamburger, filet"
},
{
"type":"dessert",
"value":"sorbet, cake, ice cream, custard, creme brulee, pudding, chocolate, cookie, mousse, flan"
}
]
}
To produce this output, you specify classifications and corresponding example text ("documents") in the TFIDF computed field method. Unlike the preceding simplified example, you can enter examples in the Document parameter. For example, you can list the full text for a restaurant's "meat entrees" rather than a short list of keywords.
Parameters
The following parameters are in the computed field's global Method parameter:
key | value | description |
---|---|---|
id (required) | tfidf | TFIDF (term frequency--inverse document frequency) is a technique that determines a category for the extracted text by matching it to a relevant Document parameter. |
source_id (required) | field ID | For every field you want to classify, create a TFIDF computed field and specify the field ID. If the source field outputs an array, then this method returns the classifications as a parallel array. |
corpus | object array | Array of corpus objects. Each contains the following parameters:id : the category or classification you want applied to an element in the source ID array, if it scores highly against this corpus object. It's best practice to choose categories that are mutually exclusive. If the categories aren't mutually exclusive, then Sensible chooses a winning category using the greatest overlap of rare words between the source field and the document.document - example free text containing the key words against which you want to score the output of the source ID. This parameter has no character limit. |
Examples
The following example classifies the items on a restaurant menu. For the sake of concise syntax, the two source fields use "match":"all"
to return arrays, and the TFIDF computed fields return classifications as parallel arrays to the input arrays.
