A New Way To Classify: Watson Natural Language Classifier & Watson Studio
Watson Natural Language Classifier
Independent of industry vertical or use case, natural language processing is becoming central to all user workflows. From developer to data scientist, the need for a simple workflow is essential.
At the root of all natural language processing is text classification.
Watson Natural Language Classifier is the enterprise solution for training, customizing, and deploying natural language classifiers at scale.
Today we are happy to extend Watson Natural Language Classifier to Watson Studio. While maintaining existing API functionality, you will now be able to leverage Watson Natural Language Classifier with a new easy to use interface in Watson Studio.
A Frictionless User Journey
Keeping in mind the end user while redesigning the tooling was important. Common pain points in the old toolkit were gathered and addressed to create an improved experience for Watson Studio.
Watson Studio caters to your full user experience. In one environment, you will be able to train, build, and test your classifiers. Additionally, you can import other services, notebooks, frameworks, and models into your projects.
Note: Old toolkit users will be auto migrated; however, you must download your training data and switch to the new tooling by July 31st. Read More
