About
Welcome to uClassify.com! Our dream is to share hardcore
classifier technology with everyone. We recognized
that classifiers are mostly present at universities research departments
and expensive commercial companies.
We want to change that. We want everyone to have the possibility
to use a top notch classifier - completely free. We find it
enormously exciting to see what happens when a tool for creativity
is given to the community. We hope to see all kinds of beyond-our-imagination
classifiers and incredible web applications being built around
the API.
API
Using the API (xml requests) you can easily build applications
using an advanced classification engine without having to be a scientist.
Beta
The purpose of the beta is to ensure
The beta period will run as long as necessary and we ask you to send us your feedback.
Accounts and classifiers created during the beta will be kept and compatible into future versions.
Contact
We have created a
uClassify google group for support and other discussions!
If you want to reach via e-mail or phone, please don't hesitate to
contact us with any feedback, questions or inquires.
Or give me a call on +46-(0)70-6179559 (Jon Kågström, Sweden).

People
At the moment we are three people working on this project. We are all situated in Stockholm, Sweden.
Jon Kågström
I have been working with text classification since 2004, it all started
with my
master thesis.
Another project I have is
Codeode where I
developed
Cactus Spam Filter which uses the same classification technology.
In April 2008 I decided to quit my fulltime job as an AI programmer at
EA Digital Illusions to finish this project.
Emil Kågström
Emil is my brother and is a C#, database and web expert. He does this on
his valuable spare time. Sometimes I wonder if SQL or Swedish is his mother language.
One of his other sites is
kipnic.com -
an ajax.net, asp.net, web 2.0 resource.
Roger Karlsson
Roger Karlsson focuses on classifier server stability, making it thread safe
and allowing it to handle a big number of parallel calls. Roger likes c++. A lot.
He is also the founder of
kephyr.com.
FAQ
What is a text classifier?
A text classifier answers the question "To which predefined category is this text most likely to belong?"
For example a classifier trained on web categories can answer "I am by 99% certain that the web page belongs to
the category food."
What does it mean to train a classifier?
Before it can classify anything will require some training. Training involves creating all wanted classes (categories)
and training each class on text documents that are of that type. For example creating a web page categorizer would
require that some classes are created (food, cars, news, health etc). Then each class is trained on documents
that are of that type. E.g. putting texts about food into the food category, car texts into the car category and so on.
Is there a restriction on the number of calls per day?
It's too early to say at this point of the project, we suspect that if uClassify becomes popular we may have to introduce some limit.
Is it really free?
Yes it is completely free. The only thing we ask for is that you
link back to us from your web site.
But can I use your API for commercial purposes?
Yes! Do your best monetize your cool classifications, just remember to
link back to us!
