How to Sort Data with Azure: Data Governance Tips
If you have a lot of data that needs sorting, we know of a tool that can save you time and effort: Microsoft Azure AI’s newest feature, custom text classification. This feature can transform the way your company handles data. Let’s dive into how this feature supports your Azure data governance journey.
How Custom Text Classification Works
The custom text classification allows you to sort text into different categories of your choosing. To make this process more efficient, you can use two Microsoft features: syntax and Azure AI.
Syntax automatically finds important information in the text, such as names, dates or numbers, to sort your data. Azure AI uses its understanding of language, image recognition and speech to determine categories. These features are able to analyze the text and assign the best categories to train the system.
Using custom text classification allows you to sort text 10 times faster and more accurately than using alternate tools or doing so on your own, making Azure an impactful data governance supporting tool.
Azure, Data Governance and Classification
A strong Azure data governance policy makes data classification much less overwhelming by helping you classify your data correctly. The tool ensures your categories are clear, consistent and relevant to your text.
For example, if you’re sorting recipes by cuisine, a well-defined category would be “Italian” or “Thai.” Then you’ll also want to ensure your text matches your categories, such as “spaghetti bolognese” or “pad thai.”
If your categories are vague, such as “European” or “Asian” or the text is ambiguous, like “salad” or “noodle soup,” then the system may not be able to sort them correctly.
Here are some tools and tips to help you create and manage your categories and text:
Custom Text Classification Portal
This portal allows you to:
- Create and edit categories.
- Upload and label your text.
