External Classifiers

The External Classifiers screen allows the user to setup classification models that are hosted in domains outside of Alfred's main procesing pipeline.

Tagshelf is not capable of ensuring the safety of your data once it is sent to an external third-party. Before setting up a new external classifier, ensure that your data will be safe on the recieving end.
