A Knowledge Base (KB) is a collection of source data that powers an Insight Booster (IB) project.
This article walks you through creating a Knowledge Base based on structured datasets in Excel, JSON, or CSV formats.
To create a Knowledge Base, navigate to the Knowledge Base icon in the blue ribbon at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can open an existing Insight Booster project and create a Knowledge Base directly within that project. More details can be found in the article titled “Creating a Knowledge Base”.
Click “Create” to get started. For a dataset to be used as input for a Knowledge Base, it must include fields for text, date, and source.
Click “Select input data”.
Upload your file and click “Select file(s)”. In this example, we have uploaded an Excel file containing UN debates.
Select the relevant fields for the Knowledge Base, including the main text field, date, and source, then click “Continue”.
Immediate single run
Keep the default selection of “Immediate single run” and click “Continue”.
You can either create a new Knowledge Base or update an existing one. If you are creating a new one, provide a clear name for your Knowledge Base, and it will appear under this name in the Knowledge Base list.
Next, enter a name for the workflow, which will be displayed under “My Workflows”. You may also add a description for the workflow if desired.
If you are updating an existing Knowledge Base, select “Update” as the action type and choose the Knowledge Base name from the list below.
Once you have filled out these details, click “Create” to finalize the setup.
Once your Knowledge Base has been created, you’ll see it under “My Knowledge Bases” accessed through the blue ribbon on top. You will also receive an email once the Knowledge Base has been created. Successfully created KBs have the green tick mark next to their name.
