ClassificationSolution- Global

The ClassificationSolution API is a scriptable object used in Predictive Intelligence stores.

This API requires the Predictive Intelligence plugin (com.glide.platform_ml) and is provided within the sn_ml namespace.

The solution setup-to-training flow is as follows:

Create a dataset using the DatasetDefinition API.
Optional. Build an encoder using the Encoder API.
Use the constructor to create a classification solution object.
Add the solution object to the classification solution store using the ClassificationSolutionStore - add() method.
Train the solution using the submitTrainingJob() method. This creates a version of the object that you can manage using the ClassificationSolutionVersion API.
Get predictions using the ClassificationSolutionVersion – predict() method.

Note: This API runs with full privileges before the Vancouver Patch 7 Hotfix 2b and Washington DC Patch 7 releases. With later releases, grant access using ACLs. For more information see Query ACLs.

For usage guidelines, refer to Using ML APIs.
