Syntex Taxonomy Tagging - Tagging Logic

Hi all,

 

I have correctly set up Microsoft Syntex Taxonomy Tagging in my environment. I would like to know if any of you have a little more knowledge about how the content is detected and how we can influence the chosen tag.

 

For example, I have financial statements that I want to be tagged “Financial Statements”. In my taxonomy tree “Document Type”, it finds another unrelated term like "CA".

 

Do you know if the synonyms of the term store influence the tagging? Do you know if we can understand the reason for the tag selection to adjust to the taxonomy tagger?

 

Thank you for your help.

    Taxonomy tagger looks for key terms and phrases and extracts those and then runs through the taxonomy you have matched terms to and does a match to either the primary or synonym terms. It is a bit of a closed box, but you can actually utilize the same Azure cognitive functionality to get an idea.
    One key point, it doesn't just look for the term in the document. The term needs to be "significant" to the document. So if I have a document that has a known format such as a case study but the term case study isn't used extensively in the document it probably won't be marked as a case study. The best way to do that is to use document classification either in Syntex or in Azure cognitive.
