Train a source classifier

A source classifier is a context-specific model trained from a site visit’s attached source data. It is for durable, governed workflows—not a standalone job shortcut.

Prerequisites

  • a site visit with suitable source images and point labels
  • a working labelset
  • enough examples per target class
  • a grouped mapping when the recipe requires one
  • permission to edit the visit

Use the Source workspace

Open the site visit and select Source. The workspace separates:

  • Overview — attachment and readiness
  • Training — recipe and run controls
  • Evaluation — metrics and comparisons
  • Label mapping — detailed-to-grouped targets
  • Reports & exports — available artifacts

Resolve the displayed Next step before training. A “mapping missing” state, for example, means the grouped target space is not yet defined.

Review recommendations

The Source Classifiers page is a review queue across accessible contexts.

A recommendation is evidence for model governance, not permission to skip evaluation. Compare class balance, validation results, failure cases, data lineage, and intended deployment scope before promotion.

Warning

Do not compare metrics from different label mappings or data splits as if they were directly equivalent.
