Predictor (Classification)

Overview

You can use this Snap to predict the class (target/class) field for an unlabeled document. An unlabeled document is one that does not have a class field. So, the Snap reads this unlabeled document and predicts the class field. Predictions are made based on the classification model built by the Trainer (Classification) Snap.

Prerequisites

  • The data from upstream Snap must be in tabular format (no nested structure).

Limitations and known issues

None.

Snap views

View Description Examples of upstream and downstream Snaps
Input This Snap has at most two input views. Any Snap that generates an unlabeled document. Any Snap that reads and outputs the classification model.
Output This Snap has at least one and at most one document output views. File Reader
Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab. The available options are:

  • Stop Pipeline Execution Stops the current pipeline execution when an error occurs.
  • Discard Error Data and Continue Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.
  • Route Error Data to Error View Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

Field / field set Type Description
Label String

Required. Specify a unique name for the Snap. Modify this to be more appropriate, especially if more than one of the same Snaps is in the pipeline.

Default value: Predictor Classification data

Example: Classification model
Max output Integer/Expression Required. Enter The maximum number of predictions for each row in the input document. The predictions are in descending order of their confidence level.

Default value: 1

Example: 5
Confidence level Checkbox If selected, the Snap's output includes the confidence level for each prediction. The prediction with the confidence level that is closest to 1 is most likely to be the correct class field.

Default status: Not selected

Snap execution Dropdown list Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes.
Available options are:
  • Validate & Execute. Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during pipeline runtime.
  • Execute only. Performs full execution of the Snap during pipeline execution without generating preview data.
  • Disabled. Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
