Language Identification Filter
Software componentModel AdaptationModelsarc:LanguageIdentificationFilter
A curation filter that predicts each document's language with a pretrained classifier and retains only documents in the configured target languages.
Responsibility. Removes documents whose language does not match the deployment's target languages.
Also known as: Language ID stage, Language filter
Relationships
hosts structural
receives data from dynamic
sends data to dynamic
is orchestrated by control
Design guidance
- SHOULD run language identification first so later, costlier stages process only target-language documents.
- SHOULD route each language to a separate training subset for multilingual agents instead of mixing languages.
Quantitative guidance
As stated by the sources; verify before use.
- Removed 1.8 billion non-English documents (36% of corpus) in the financial example (Ch7.5).
Classification
- Patterns
- Embarrassingly parallel per-document classification
