The IBM Watsonโข Natural Language Classifier service applies deep learning techniques to make predictions about the best predefined classes for short sentences or phrases. The classes can trigger a corresponding action in an application, such as directing a request to a location or person, or answering a question. After training, the service returns information for texts that it hasn't seen before. The response includes the name of the top classes and confidence values.
You can view a demo of this app.
- Sign up for an IBM Cloud account.
- Download the IBM Cloud CLI.
- Create an instance of the Natural Language Classifier service and get your credentials:
- Go to the Natural Language Classifier page in the IBM Cloud Catalog.
- Log in to your IBM Cloud account.
- Click Create.
- Click Show to view the service credentials.
- Copy the
apikey
value. - Copy the
url
value.
- The Natural Language Classifier service must be trained before you can successfully use this application. The training data is provided in the file
training/weather_data_train.csv
.
If you haveusername
andpassword
credentials, train a classifier by using the following command:
curl -i -u "apikey":"<apikey>" \
-F training_data=@training/weather_data_train.csv \
-F training_metadata="{\"language\":\"en\",\"name\":\"TutorialClassifier\"}" \
"<url>/v1/classifiers"
Make sure to replace <apikey>
and <url>
.
After running the command, copy the value for classifier_id
.
-
In the application folder, copy the .env.example file and create a file called .env
cp .env.example .env
-
Open the .env file and add the service credentials that you obtained in the previous step.
