Short answer

How can I classify large text datasets in batch using my AI?

You connect Predibase to your AI client and tell your agent to run a classification task on your data. Your agent then processes the text in bulk, assigning labels to every entry. Here is how that works.

Where your data lands.

Categorized outputs.

The AI sorts your text into specific buckets based on the logic you provide.

LABELED

Categorized datasets

The agent assigns specific tags to every row in your file. You get a structured list ready for use.

UNCERTAIN

Low confidence results

When the AI is unsure about a specific text string, it flags the entry. You can review these outliers to refine your instructions.

MANUAL

Human review needed

Entries that fall outside your defined categories are set aside. You decide how to handle these edge cases.

CLEAN

Filtered noise

Irrelevant or empty text entries are identified and removed. This leaves you with a clean set of labeled data.

The workflow

What your AI does when the dataset arrives.

Your agent acts as the orchestrator, using Predibase to process text at scale.

  1. Data ingestion

    Your agent reads the raw text from your source files or database.

    classify

  2. Batch processing

    The agent sends the text to the classification engine to process multiple entries at once.

    classify

  3. Label assignment

    The engine applies the specific categories you defined in your prompt to each text block.

  4. Result aggregation

    The agent gathers the results and presents a structured summary of the categorized data.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my original files?

    No. The AI only reads the data to perform the classification. It does not modify your source files.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide the categories itself?

    No. You must provide the specific categories you want the AI to use in your prompt.

  • 03

    How many rows can I classify at once?

    The number of rows depends on the limits of your Predibase connection and your AI client's context window.

  • 04

    Can I use this to write new text?

    No. This specific workflow is designed for classifying existing text, not generating new content.

  • 05

    What happens if a category doesn't fit?

    The AI will follow your instructions. If you haven't provided an 'Other' category, it may flag the item as uncertain.
