1. A computer-implemented method of automatically classifying digital content, the method comprising:
- an auto-classification module, embodied on non-transitory computer memory, creating a content classification model for classifying content based on one or more selected documents that have been identified as exemplars, the exemplars representing a class, wherein creation of the content classification model comprises defining at least one content classification rule comprising a rule priority, a confidence level, or an applied classification, the at least one content classification rule having one or more parameters including at least one of a field name, an operator, or a value;
the auto-classification module displaying metrics for a set of documents that have been classified using the content classification model; and
the auto-classification module receiving user input to reconfigure the content classification model responsive to the displayed metrics;
wherein reconfiguring the content classification model includes changing one or more exemplars, one or more content classification rules, or a combination thereof.

Abstract
A reconfigurable automatic document-classification system and method provides classification metrics to a user and enables the user to reconfigure the classification model. The user can refine the classification model by adding or removing exemplars, creating, editing or deleting rules, or performing other such adjustments to the classification model. This technology enhances the overall transparency and defensibility of the auto-classification process.
