How to categorize text content with custom classes using Python?

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Custom Text Classification API in 5 minutes with Python. Eden AI provides an easy and developer-friendly API that allows you to classify text contents in custom classes.

What is Custom Text Classification API?

Text classification is a natural language processing (NLP) task that involves assigning predefined categories or labels to text documents based on their content. Unlike pre-trained models offered by generic text classification APIs, a Custom Text Classification API enables developers to build models from scratch or fine-tune existing models based on their unique datasets and requirements.

With a Custom Text Classification API, developers have more control over the training process and can create models that are optimized for their specific domain or industry. They can define their own categories or labels and train the model using their annotated data. This flexibility allows for more accurate and specialized text classification results.

Get Started with Custom Text Classification API

The first step is to install Python's requests package, that will allow you to call Eden AI API.

Next, you'll need to install Python's JSON package to be able to read and print the result of the API request.
