Use CreateDocumentClassifier with an AWS SDK or CLI

To create a document classifier to categorize documents

The following create-document-classifier example begins the training process for a document classifier model. The training data file, training.csv, is located at the --input-data-config tag. training.csv is a two column document where the labels, or, classifications are provided in the first column and the documents are provided in the second column.

aws comprehend create-document-classifier \
    --document-classifier-name example-classifier \
    --data-access-arn arn:aws:comprehend:us-west-2:111122223333:pii-entities-detection-job/123456abcdeb0e11022f22a11EXAMPLE \
    --input-data-config "S3Uri=s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/" \
    --language-code en

Output:

{
    "DocumentClassifierArn": "arn:aws:comprehend:us-west-2:111122223333:document-classifier/example-classifier"
}
