Explorer: Merge AI-Categories

Why merging categories

If the content of some categories is very similar, you might want to merge them together. For instance, when analysing email text data, it is likely to face clusters on different ways of starting the email (e.g. Hello, Hi, Dear ..., etc.). Relevance AI's Explorer allows you to merge these together into one category/cluster as general greetings.

🚧

Warning: merge is not reversible

To get the original categories back, you will need to rerun the original analysis.

The merge functionality is available on the category view, set on AI categories such as AI-tagging or AI-clustering results. So make sure such category view tab/page is set up and selected. Locate the "Merge" button right below the overview section.

When "Merge" is clicked a list will pop open on which you can select the categories you wish to merge, hit "Merge categories" when done.
