Train Watson to Recognize Custom Questions

After using the Ask Question Editor to create new questions, edit existing questions, or import a .csv file into new or existing answer files, you need to train Watson to recognize your questions.

  1. Select Watson Training from the navigation pane on the Ask SysTrack Admin page.

  2. To create a new classifier for your recently added and edited questions, click the Create New Classifier button.

  3. At the New Classifier dialog box, optionally change the classifier file name in the Name field, and click the Begin Training button.

    NOTE: The amount of time for your questions to be classified with IBM Watson depends on the number of questions you have created. A few questions might take minutes, while a large number (a thousand or more) could take hours.

  4. To check the status of your classifier, click the Refresh status button. A status message will be displayed in the Status column of your classifier.
  5. Once your classifier instance is available the status column will indicate that it is available. Test the classifier by selecting the appropriate row. Enter a question in the Test Classifier field, and click the Submit button. An example is shown below.

  6. If the results cause you to want to go back and edit the question in the Ask SysTrack Editor, select the appropriate row, and click the Delete Classifier button.
  7. When you are satisfied that your classifier results are as you desired, select the classifier, and click the Set as Active button.
