class GenericClassifierApproach extends AnnotatorApproach[GenericClassifierModel] with GenericClassifierParams with HandleExceptionParams with CheckLicense

Trains a TensorFlow model for generic classification of feature vectors. It takes FEATURE_VECTOR annotations from FeaturesAssembler as input, classifies them and outputs CATEGORY annotations. Please see the Parameters section for required training parameters.

For a more extensive example please see the Spark NLP Workshop.

Example

val features_asm = new FeaturesAssembler()
  .setInputCols(Array("feature_1", "feature_2", "...", "feature_n"))
  .setOutputCol("features")

val gen_clf = new GenericClassifierApproach()
  .setLabelColumn("target")
  .setInputCols("features")
  .setOutputCol("prediction")
  .setModelFile("/path/to/graph_file.pb")
  .setEpochsNumber(50)
  .setBatchSize(100)
  .setFeatureScaling("zscore")
  .setlearningRate(0.001f)
  .setFixImbalance(true)
  .setOutputLogsPath("logs")
  .setValidationSplit(0.2f) // keep 20% of the data for validation purposes

val pipeline = new Pipeline().setStages(Array(
  features_asm,
  gen_clf
))

val clf_model = pipeline.fit(data)
