# CategorySetSimpleCatPoints

Allows you to set the boundaries between a set of three SimpleCat categories, allowing HPE IDOL Server to adjust the result of a CategorySimpleCategorize action, particularly for sentiment analysis. For sentiment analysis, you define and train three SimpleCat categories for positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. You can then use `CategorySetSimpleCatPoints` to define the boundaries between these categories.

To use the `CategorySetSimpleCatPoints` action, you must set the Sentiment configuration parameter to `True` in the `[Category]` section of your configuration file to allow HPE IDOL Server to store the extra information that it needs.

You can think of the three SimpleCat categories as forming a triangle, with each SimpleCat category positioned on a corner, with the coordinates (1,0,0), (0,1,0), and (0,0,1) respectively. A CategorySimpleCategorize action for a document returns confidences a, b, and c for each of the three categories, with a + b + c = 1. Therefore, you can represent a document by a point with coordinates (a,b,c) on the triangle.

The boundaries are lines joining a point on each of the triangle's edges to a middle point. This divides the triangle into three regions, one for each SimpleCat category. You set the points on the edges between two categories by using the Category and Coordinates parameters. You set the middle point by setting the MiddlePoint parameter to `True` and using the Coordinates parameter.

After you define the regions, HPE IDOL Server categorizes documents according to the region in which its representative point lies (a,b,c).

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

## Example

    http://12.3.4.56:9000/action=CategorySetSimpleCatPoints&Category=456,789&Coordinates=0.25,0.75

This action uses port `9000` to instruct HPE IDOL Server, which is located on a machine with the IP address `12.3.4.56`, to set a boundary side point one quarter of the way along the edge between categories `456` and `789`.

## Parameters

Parameter | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
Category | The IDs of two SimpleCat categories. | Yes
Coordinates | A comma-separated list of the space-partitioning coordinates. | Yes
MiddlePoint | Indicates whether the point to set is the middle or a side point. |

This action accepts the following standard ACI action parameters.

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
ActionID | A string to use to identify an ACI action.
EncryptResponse | Encrypt the output.
FileName | The file to write output to.
ForceTemplateRefresh | Forces the server to load the template from disk.
Output | Writes output to a file.
ResponseFormat | The format of the action output.
Template | The template to use for the action output.
TemplateParamCSVs | A list of variables to use for the specified template.

## Comments

When you set a side point, Coordinates must be a comma-separated pair of values that sum to `1`.

When you set the middle point, you must supply two of the three coordinates. HPE IDOL Server calculates the third point, because all three must sum to `1`.
