Manage Classifiers

Cognitive Analytics: Manage Classifiers

This workflow describes the process for creating, testing, and training classifiers (i.e., Machine Learning and Fuzzy Logic scripts).

Blue text in a shape indicates that a description is provided for that step in the following sections. For more information, refer to the topic Interpreting the Workflow Diagrams.

Create or Select Classifier

Persona: Analyst

Select an existing classifier (i.e., a Fuzzy Logic or Machine Learning script), or create a new classifier by copying an existing one.

Define or Select Query

Persona: Analyst

To test or train a classifier, data is required as an input. Define a specific query or dataset to return data from the GE Digital APM database to use for testing and training.

Train Classifier?

Persona: Analyst

Determine if you want to train the classifier using all the data from the input query or dataset.

Note: Fuzzy Logic scripts do not contain training data; only Machine Learning scripts can be trained.

Train Classifier

Persona: Analyst

Initiate training on the classifier with input data. Training can be performed on an entire data set of "good" data or it can be iteratively performed on reviewed data.

Note: Fuzzy Logic scripts do not contain training data; only Machine Learning scripts can be trained.

Test Classifier?

Persona: Analyst

Determine if you want to test the classifier using data from the input query or dataset. Testing is done iteratively on 50 records at a time.

Review Test Results

Persona: Analyst

Review the test results to determine the effectiveness of the classifier's predictions.

If the classifier is a Machine Learning script, you can rate the predictions by providing a thumbs up (prediction was accurate) or a thumbs down (prediction was inaccurate). On an inaccurate prediction, you can set the correct value to provide as training input back to the classifier.

Train Classifier on Reviewed Data?

Persona: Analyst

Determine if you want to re-train the classifier on the reviewed data. Re-training can be done as an iterative process of test, review, and train.

Note: Fuzzy Logic scripts do not contain training data; only Machine Learning scripts can be trained.

Manage Cognitions

Persona: Analyst

The classifier is ready to be used in cognitions to classify data.
