Simple, Automatic Text Classification in Ruby on Rails
Posted by Daniel Butler Thu, 18 May 2006 23:27:00 GMT
The ‘acts_as_classifiable’ plugin can be easily installed using gem install classifier --include-dependencies, and once simple 3-column table is added to your database to store the learned classification data, you’re ready to go. Add the following magic dust to the model you want
class Comment < ActiveRecords::Base
acts_as_classifiable :fields => ["text","title"],
:categories => ["Ironic", "Boring"]
endTrain the classifier by using @comment.train :ironic or @comment.train :boring on existing objects, or collections of objects that have known classifications.
When a new @comment comes along, figure out what it is automatically with @comment.classify and act accordingly.
Enjoy.
