Similar to carrot2 plugin are there any plugins or tools on top of elk, that can be used to train and execute supervised learning algorithms ? ( preferably java ) I want to classify search results based on training data. ---

The `significant_terms` aggregation can be used to extract features given a set of representative data - see [https://www.elastic.co/blog/significant-terms-aggregation#classifier](https://www.elastic.co/blog/significant-terms-aggregation#classifier) ---

Can you elaborate a bit on your use case? Why do you need to classify search results, would it also be ok to classify documents prior to ingestion? What kind of classification algorithm would you like to apply to your data? I'm not aware of any officially supported plugins. A quick search turned up the following results: > **[pandastrike/bayzee](https://github.com/pandastrike/bayzee)** > > bayzee - Text classification using Naive Bayes and Elasticsearch > **[Categorizing images with deep learning into Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/blog/categorizing-images-with-deep-learning-into-elasticsearch)** > > Deepdetect, an open source deep-learning server working, created a range of machine learning applications, including an image search engine using Elasticsearch. > **[polyfractal/ElasticBayes](https://github.com/polyfractal/ElasticBayes)** > > ElasticBayes - Naive Bayes Classifier implemented with Elasticsearch Aggregations Hope this helps and looking forward to hear more on your use case, Isabel ---

Thanks for the quick reply, I am going through your nicely written post. Just want to clarify, I don't want to do semantic analysis. In other words, I will input/train to correlate apples with zebras. As in, if I query for 'apples' elasticsearch should return 'zebras' based on my training and statistics. Can you suggest ? ---

Thanks for the spontaneous reply. It would not be ok to classify prior ingestion, because the results may evolve while using machine learning based on history. Any classification algorithm ( decision tree ) , essentially I am interested to see ML supervised learning support using elasticsearch. Thank you for the links I came across them too! ---

> [@Shrikanth\_N\_C](#): > > It would not be ok to classify prior ingestion, because the results may evolve while using machine learning based on history. What do you mean - the results may evolve while using machine learning based on history? Do you mean the results may change as soon as you re-train your classification model? How often would you re-train your model then? > [@Shrikanth\_N\_C](#): > > As in, if I query for 'apples' elasticsearch should return 'zebras' based on my training and statistics This sounds like a typical use case for synonyms to me. > **[Synonym token filter | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.11\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-synonym-tokenfilter.html)** should have more details on this. Hope this helps, Isabel ---

> [@mainec](#): > > As in, if I query for 'apples' elasticsearch should return 'zebras' based on my training and statistics Depending on your user volumes It might be worth considering on-the-fly analysis rather than pre-computing a limited set of trained responses. If the query was something you might not have predicted e.g. not just `apples` but `apples new AR headset` you can run significant terms on the best-matching docs and discover the term `iGizmo` (or whatever the product name might be). Doing the analysis on the fly tailors suggestions to the long tail of many and varied queries users provide rather than just the "head of the tail" ones you were able to predict in your training data. ---

Thanks Mark will think on those lines as well. ---

Synonym might work, will think on those lines. Thank you for your time! ---
