Parent represents competing children

Classification Parent Represents Competing Child Result icon This classification rule helps to resolve conflicts when two or more children of the same parent have a classification confidence higher than the global threshold and are closer than the required minimum distance. Instead of leaving the document unclassified, the parent class is used, meaning the parent can represent the children.

If a classification rule is applied to a document, a special icon is displayed next to the document in the Classification Results window. A tooltip for the icon explains the applicable rule.
