Intent Classifier

The intent classifier is a specialized text classifier that analyses media posts about future actions. It will detect whether the post intends to perform some behavior, such as purchasing or selling and can be used alongside other classifiers and filters. The Intent classifier is designed to uncover instances where people express their intentions to perform actions, especially actions in the future. It is meant to quickly add additional information to help users assess the imminence of activities and identify future actions and interests relating to products or people (named entities). It could also detect whether future actions may be violent (when used in conjunction with the violence classifier).
