Question Classifier Module | |
This module provides a simplified 3-way classification system for questions: | |
1. calculation - Mathematical operations, conversions, computations | |
2. url - Questions that require specific URL/webpage access | |
3. general_web_search - Questions that need web research using search engines | |
Extracted from BasicAgent._classify_question() method in app.py for clean separation of concerns. | |
