Classification and Regression with the BigML Dashboard
6.9 Descriptive Information
Each fusion has an associated name, description, category, and tags. The following subsections provide a brief description for each concept. In Figure 6.75 , you can see the editing options provided in the More info menu.

6.9.1 Fusion Name
Each fusion has a name that is displayed in the fusion list view and also on the top bar of the fusion view. Fusion names are indexed to be used in searches. A fusion inherits the name from the first model used to create it. Change it using the More info menu option on the right corner of the fusion view. The name of a fusion cannot be longer than 256 characters. More than one fusion can have the same name even within the same project, but they will always have different identifiers.
6.9.2 Description
Each fusion also has a description that it is very useful for documenting your Machine Learning projects.
Descriptions can be written using plain text and also markdown. BigML provides a simple markdown editor that accepts a subset of markdown syntax (see Figure 6.76 ).

Descriptions cannot be longer than 8192 characters and can use almost any character.
6.9.3 Category
A category can be associated with each fusion. Categories are useful to classify fusions according to the domain which your data comes from. This is helpful when you use BigML to solve problems across industries or for multiple customers.
A fusion category must be one of the 24 categories listed on Table 6.1 .
Category Aerospace and Defense Automotive, Engineering and Manufacturing Banking and Finance Chemical and Pharmaceutical Consumer and Retail Demographics and Surveys Energy, Oil and Gas Fraud and Crime Healthcare Higher Education and Scientific Research Human Resources and Psychology Insurance Law and Order Media, Marketing and Advertising Miscellaneous Physical, Earth and Life Sciences Professional Services Public Sector and Nonprofit Sports and Games Technology and Communications Transportation and Logistics Travel and Leisure Uncategorized Utilities
6.9.4 Tags
A fusion can also have a number of tags associated with it that can help to retrieve it via the BigML API or to provide fusions with some extra information. Each tag is limited to a maximum of 128 characters. Each fusion can have up to 32 different tags.
6.9.5 Counters
For each fusion, BigML also stores a number of counters to track the number of other resources that have been created using the fusion as a starting point. In the fusion view, you can see a menu option that displays counters for evaluations, single and batch predictions, and the fusions created using this fusion. It also allows you to quickly jump to all the resources of each type (see Figure 6.77 ).
