Example Use Cases

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).
