MS Azure Custom Tags

No UI

With the MS Azure Custom Tags extension you can train a custom end point using the Azure GUI specifically developed for this task. This end point is then used by this plugin to tag assets with the trained custom tags.

Important: If the name of a tag is changed in the training application, then the tag has to be renamed manually in CELUM too (default language only).

Properties

To be configured in {home}/appserver/conf/custom.properties

azureCustomVision.license

type: string, required: yes, default: -

The license key for the plugin (product: azureCustomVision), provided by brix.

azureCustomVision.allowedUserGroupIds

type: comma-separated list of user group ids, required: no, default: -

The user group ids which are allowed to use this extension (superadmins are always entitled).

type: integer, required: no, default: 5

The number of threads in the thread pool, that are processing the asset changes and initiating the automated tagging, has to be >= 2.

azureCustomVision.debounceTimeInSeconds

type: integer, required: no, default: 10

The debounce time in seconds. E.g. 10 means that for 5s, all changes that happen on an asset are collected and then processed at once. This has the advantage that if 10 relevant changes happen one after another within an interval of 5s, cognitive services are still only asked once and not 10 times.

azureCustomVision.tags.partition.threshold

type: integer, required: no, default: 100

Nodes are partitioned if the number of children in a node (which are not intermediate nodes) becomes greater than the threshold. That way, the GUI doesn't freeze if you try to open the tag tree. A number <= 0 prevents the partitioning.
