Domain Relevance Classifier
Software componentModel AdaptationModelsarc:DomainRelevanceClassifier
A curation stage that scores each document's topical relevance to the target domain with a trained classifier and filters or prioritizes documents by that score.
Responsibility. Selects high-value, domain-relevant documents and excludes off-domain content.
Also known as: Domain classification stage, Topical relevance scorer
Relationships
hosts structural
receives data from dynamic
sends data to dynamic
is orchestrated by control
Design guidance
- SHOULD add domain-specific classifier categories when adapting the pipeline to a new data source.
Quantitative guidance
As stated by the sources; verify before use.
- Requires manually labeling 1,000-5,000 documents to train the classifier before applying it to billions (Ch7.5).
Classification
- Patterns
- Label-once, classify-at-scale
- Technologies
- NVIDIA NeMo CuratorBERT
- Quality attributes
- Functional suitability: correctness and validity (ISO/IEC 25010 | NIST AI RMF: valid)
- Risks mitigated
- Off-domain content (e.g., sales calls, generic advice) diluting a specialized agent's training data
