Natural Language API's Content Category Overlap

[SepArmeen]

Hello Cloud Forum

Let's say I have a daily news site covering 5 distinct news categories: Politics, Finance, Sports, Arts, Home improvements
When using the V1 model, the Natural Language API filters the categories returned by the classifyText method to include only the most relevant categories for a request. In some cases we found that not to be the case. Here is an example.

For example when a post was published under Home improvements news category and was about Paint Brush, the API returned
/Hobbies & Leisure/Crafts/Art & Craft Supplies,
which was a wrong category. It should have returned
/Home & Garden/Home Improvement/House Painting & Finishing.
Is there any way to instruct the API to use only
/Home & Garden/Home Improvement/House Painting & Finishing.
For analyzing posts or exclude
/Hobbies & Leisure/Crafts/Art & Craft Supplies,
From returning

Hi Jeerahalli

Thanks for your reply. here is another example. 

As listed below ,  the Natural Language API's Content Categories has 27 major categories (and 620 sub categories.). 

When I already know my text is generally about Sport, in order to narrow down text categorization and increase accuracy, I want to only use /Sports (from 27 major categories) to analyze my text ( not for example  /Arts & Entertainment). what's the way to accomplish this?
