# CategorySimpleCategorize

Allows you to specify text, documents, or file content and return categories that are similar to the text, documents, or file content. This action also returns terms and weights for each category.

Note: This is an administrative action that can be sent only from AdminClients (which are set in the `[Server]` section of the configuration file).

This action uses the SimpleCat algorithm for categorization. SimpleCat is optimized for categorization of small documents that contain only a few words. Other actions (such as CategorySuggestFromText) use the standard categorization algorithm. HPE generally recommends that you use standard categorization unless you are using any of the features that are specific to SimpleCat.

When you use `CategorySimpleCategorize` for a document, the results include a confidence value for each SimpleCat that describes how well a document fits into each category. The confidence values sum to 1 over all SimpleCats. IDOL Server then assigns the document to the SimpleCat that has the highest confidence value. This process is different to standard categorization, in which a document might be assigned to no category, or to more than one.

Additionally, with SimpleCat, you can set a default category by using the SimpleCatDefaultCat parameter for the CategorySetDetails action. If a document is empty, or if it contains no words in common with any training document, IDOL Server assigns it to the default SimpleCat.

You can adjust the results by using the SimpleCatParam action parameter for the CategorySetDetails action. You can adjust the importance of word pairs as features (compared to single words) by using the SimpleCatPairFactor configuration parameter.

You can specify cluster job names and exact cluster numbers when you run the `CategorySimpleCategorize` action, by using the SourceJobName and Cluster parameters. This option allows you to perform sentiment analysis on clusters.

You can specify secure documents for this action. Use the SecurityInfo parameter to specify the security string to use.

## Example

    http://12.3.4.56:9000/action=CategorySimpleCategorize&Parent=32349987602210557106&QueryText=Caring for passiflora incarnata

This action uses port `9000` to request categories that are similar to the text Caring for passiflora incarnata from the set of SimpleCat categories contained by the parent category `32349987602210557106`. The categories are requested from IDOL Server, which is located on a machine with the IP address `12.3.4.56`.
