We have released a simple invoice system. It allows you to view and print invoices from your account. If you are a subscribing user you will find the invoices under the new ‘Payments’ tab.
Invoices will only be generated for any new payments.
If you have a Company/VAT number you may enter it under your profile settings.
To download the invoices as a pdf, click on the ‘Print’ button and then select ‘Print to pdf…’.
Många av våra klassificerare finns nu tillgängliga på flera språk. En av de populäraste som nu även finns på svenska är Sentiment. Den avgör om en text är positiv eller negativ genom att analysera språkbruket.
För ämneskategorisering finns även IAB taxonomy v2 och samtliga Topics klassificerare på flera språk inklusive svenska.
Det är gratis att använda vårt API upp till 500 anrop/dag, efter det finns det olika kostnadsnivåer från 9€ per månad (5000 anrop/dag).
This post announces that many of our classifiers are available in Swedish.
Here is a short summary of 2017 and some glimpses into 2018.
Last year was a good year for uClassify. The main theme was to offer classifiers in multiple languages (English, Spanish, French and Swedish). The task was non trivial and we decided to keep it in ‘beta’ for a long to make sure it works and scales as intended. Now we feel confident to move out of beta and start to promote the service.
We created a few new classifiers for our users, the most popular are the IAB Taxonomy V2 and Language Detection classifiers (I am particularly proud of its capability to detect 370 different languages!) .
For the second half of 2017 I went on parental leave, during this time I mostly monitored uClassify, answered emails and pushed a few fixes.
As a hobby project I created a site with tons of generated number sequences, sequencedb.net, if you are into that kind of thing.
In the beginning of 2018 we will add more classifiers in different languages and move out of beta and do some promoting.
As for the next big features we are not entirely sure, there is a big request for URL batching, for different reasons we’ve been dodging this in the past, but it deserves a reconsideration.
During parental leave I played a lot with numeric, images and time series classification (as opposed to text). This is something I’m thinking of might find it’s way into the platform, although not sure in what form.
Another thing we should do is to publish api clients in different languages (Java, Python, C# etc).
During the coming month (my last month on parental leave) I’ll start with some of the tasks and set a plan for the rest of the year.
Happy new years everyone!

We have added a new classifier that can determine the discourse of a text. It can for example distinguish questions from answers, if the answer is an agreement or disagreement. It even tries to see if there is humor in the text. The classes are listed below.
Since long texts often has mixed discourse, containing questions, answers, elaborations, humor an so on – it may make sense to pass single sentences or phrases for classification (split the text).
Our XML API has been around since the release of uClassify back in 2008. It’s very flexible and powerful. Previously, to avoid breaking the XML all texts passed needed to be base64 encoded in the <textBase64> element. With this release we introduce the element <text> that doesn’t require base64 encoding. The <textBase64> is of course still supported.
The new <text> element can take plain text. This saves some bandwidth, performance and makes it easier to use. The string needs to be XML encoded so it doesn’t break the XML. Most languages have support functions for this, look for “escape XML” or similar. Basically it replaces 5 characters (<,>,&,’ and “) with their encoding (< etc.).
<text>I love new features & would like to see more in the future</text>
<textBase64>SSBsb3ZlIG5ldyBmZWF0dXJlcyAmIHdvdWxkIGxpa2UgdG8gc2VlIG1vcmUgaW4gdGhlIGZ1dHVyZQ==</textBase64>
The new <text> element makes the implementation of our next big feature easier… 😉
We have updated some of our most popular classifiers to give better results.
Our most popular classifier for sentiment has been updated to give better performance. The major difference is that the data has gone through a cleaning pass, removing non english texts (noise). And with a slightly improved feature extractor and optimized data we can expect better accuracy.
We’ve also updated the following popular classifiers to use a new feature extractor. The result is better accuracy.
We might update more classifiers in the future.
We have updated the daily quota limits for the different accounts. If you already (before 3rd of March 2017) are subscribing on an account this will not affect you.
The adjustments are made after looking at the statistics of our users. Before the Indie and Professional account had the same rate limits but at different prices. The new model is a ladder from Indie to Professional accounts, with growing discount the higher you get.
This also affected our translation api, which now gives you 40 characters per call instead of 10.
The new pricing can be found here. We will see how it works out the coming weeks, we might have to make some adjustments.
With the latest version of uClassify we have abandoned the old feature extractor for user trained classifiers. This means that you will get better performance for all new classifier created after 2017-03-26. All already created classifiers won’t be affected.
In the beginning, around 2007, I thought it would be best to allow the users to do preprocessing and use a really simple feature extractor on the server. This feature extractor only separated words by the space character (32 decimal). The idea was that users could preprocess their texts to allow more delimiters (e.g. exchange ! to space on their side). You can also generate your own bigrams by combining them with underscore or something.
Classifiers made by uClassify have used other feature extractors, e.g. the sentiment classifier uses unigrams, bigrams, some stemming and converting to lower case. This improves the performance significantly.
Now, it’s not easy for someone who is new to machine learning and text classification to guess which delimiters to use. Also it can be very counter intuitive. For that reason, I decided to replace the old unigram feature extractor with a new high performance general purpose extractor.
The new feature extractor has been found heuristically by running extensive tests over a large set of corpora. The datasets are a part of our internal testing suite that contains over 80 different test sets for a wide range of problems. Therefore I am very confident that the new feature extractor will do really well.
In short here is what it does:
This is similar to what the Sentiment classifier has been using which allows it to differentiate between “I don’t like” and “I like”.
Let me know if you have any feedback, you can reach me at contact AT uclassify DOT com or @jonkagstrom on twitter!
We get a lot of requests for classifiers in different languages and as a next step we are building a translation API. The idea is to have an affordable in-house machine translation service that can quickly translate requests to the classifier language, classify the request and send back the response. Since the majority of classifiers are in English, the primary focus will be to target English.
Initially we support French, Spanish and Swedish to English translations.
The API is accessible with your ordinary API read key and a GET/POST REST protocol.
You can test and read all about the translation API here.
Please don’t hesitate to report any weirdness to me!
Upon popular request I’ve built a new topics classifier based on the IAB taxonomy. EDIT: We also support the IAB Taxonomy V2 now.
The classifier has two levels of depth, a main category (sports, science…) and a sub category (soccer, physics…). In total there are about 360 different classes following the IAB Quality Assurance Guidelines (QAG) Taxonomy specification.
You can try the online demo here.
The class names are composed of 4 parts separated by an underscore, with the following structure:
main topic_sub topic_main id_sub id
home and garden_flowers_5_4
sports_climbing_17_3
sports_volleyball_17_7
The last two ids are the IAB ids, this will make it easier for users tho map and integrate the result.
With a free uClassify account you can make 1000 free calls per day, if you need more there are affordable options from 9€ per month. You can sign up here.
