An Intelligent Class: The Development Of A Novel Context Capturing Framework Supporting The Functional Auto-Classification Of Records

The need to accurately classify records is a core problem in many domains. Current methods for auto-classification focus on a record's content and not its context. As a result, current auto-classification methods are unable to achieve the levels of precision, accuracy, and recall that match or exceed the levels generated by human classifiers. In order to address this challenge, a new methodology is needed that specifies how to extract contextual features from a record in order to improve the auto-classification accuracy, precision, and recall of records at scale. This paper closes this gap, using the diplomatic definition of context to specify a mapping that will operationalize the capturing of context from a record. This mapping, makes it possible to continue developing a formal method for functional auto-classification and contextual feature extraction that will utilize a record's context to improve functional auto-classification accuracy, precision, and recall.
