FAQPage Schema
How do I classify biographies by lifestyle for a research dataset?▼

Lifestyle classification assigns each biography a single category from a five-tier taxonomy: Hunter-Gatherer, Pastoralist, Farmer, Rural Non-Farm, or Urban. It analyzes narrative context and occupation cues to determine the primary economic lifestyle for research visualization.

How does narrative analysis determine the correct occupation taxonomy label?▼

Narrative analysis determines the occupation taxonomy label by examining occupation cues and story context within the biography. It enforces a single authoritative lifestyle value per entry while preserving the original data for traceability.

Can I flag uncertain lifestyle classifications in my data labeling workflow?▼

Yes, you can flag uncertain lifestyle classifications during data labeling. The classifier applies a FLAG prefix to entries where the lifestyle category is ambiguous, ensuring uncertain cases are marked for review while maintaining a single label per biography.

What is the best way to label biographical stories with a single lifestyle category?▼

The best way to label biographical stories is using a five-category lifestyle taxonomy that enforces a single authoritative value per entry. This prevents duplicate or conflicting labels by determining the primary lifestyle from narrative context.

Does the lifestyle taxonomy classifier work with pending biography narratives?▼

Yes, the lifestyle taxonomy classifier works with pending biography narratives. It processes entries in both `_lives/` and `_lives_pending/` directories, tagging each person with a lifestyle label regardless of their dataset approval status.
