What is one optional step before training a model in Comms. Mining?

Before training a model in Comms. Mining, importing your taxonomy is a crucial optional step. A taxonomy provides a structured framework through which the data can be analyzed, ensuring that the training process aligns with specific categories, intents, or themes relevant to the business context. By defining the taxonomy first, you enable the model to better understand and classify the data it will be exposed to during training. This preparatory step enhances the accuracy and effectiveness of the model by incorporating predefined categories that guide how the model interprets the communications data.

Labeling datasets, collaborating with team members, and previewing data sources are also important steps in the data preparation and model training process. However, these steps are typically more about the logistics of handling the data or team dynamics and do not provide the same foundational structure for the model’s understanding as importing taxonomy does. Importing the taxonomy directly influences the model’s capability to categorize and interpret communication data, leading to more meaningful insights and outcomes once the model is fully trained.
