Classification Light

Changelog for the Classification Light profile. This section covers distilled models, rule-assisted classification, cost-aware routing, and explainability features for lightweight deployments.

What’s Included

  • Distilled Models: Compact classifiers with reduced compute requirements
  • Rule-Assisted Classification: Hybrid approach combining rules and ML (Machine Learning)
  • Cost-Aware Routing: Intelligent model selection based on document complexity
  • Explainability: Human-readable explanations for classification decisions

Recent Updates

2024-12-10 — Distilled Classifier v3

Released third-generation distilled classifier with 70% size reduction compared to full model. Maintains 96% of original accuracy on standard document types.

  • Impact: Latency

2024-11-26 — Rule-Based Fallback Mode

Added configurable rule-based classification for documents matching known patterns. Reduces model invocations by 40% for homogeneous document streams.

  • Impact: Reliability

2024-11-12 — Explainability Endpoint

Introduced /classify/explain endpoint returning top contributing features for each prediction. Supports compliance requirements for automated decision systems.

  • Impact: Compliance

2024-10-30 — Cost-Aware Routing Engine

Deployed intelligent routing that selects light vs. full classifier based on document complexity score. Average cost per classification reduced by 28%.

  • Impact: Reliability

2024-10-18 — Serverless Function Support

Optimized light classifier for serverless environments with cold start under 800ms. Compatible with AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Azure Functions.

  • Impact: Latency

2024-10-04 — On-Device Caching

Added local model caching in mobile SDK. Subsequent classifications after initial load complete in under 50ms on modern devices.

  • Impact: Latency

2024-09-22 — Threshold Configuration

Introduced per-label confidence thresholds allowing different routing rules for high-stakes vs. routine categories.

  • Impact: Accuracy

2024-09-08 — Label Sync Optimization

Reduced Studio label propagation time to light models from 5 minutes to under 60 seconds. Changes reflect immediately in subsequent API calls.

  • Impact: UX

Compatibility Notes

  • Distilled v3 requires SDK 1.4.0 or later
  • Explainability endpoint requires Enterprise tier
  • Rule-based fallback configured via Console workflow editor

Roadmap (Next Quarter)

  • Browser-based classification via WebAssembly module
  • Custom rule language for advanced routing logic
  • Confidence threshold auto-tuning based on historical accuracy
