+=== AUC ROC evaluation metrics for classification analysis
+
+{ml-docs}/ml-dfanalytics-evaluate.html#ml-dfanalytics-class-aucroc[Area under the curve of receiver operating characteristic (AUC ROC)] 
+is an evaluation metric that has been available for {oldetection} since 7.3 and 
+now is available for {classification} analysis. AUC ROC represents the 
+performance of the {classification} process at different predicted probability 
+thresholds. The true positive rate for a specific class is compared against the 
+rate of all the other classes combined at the different threshold levels to 
+create the curve.

+=== Custom feature processors in {dfanalytics}
+
+Feature processors enable you to extract process features from document fields. 
+You can use these features in model training and model deployment. Custom 
+feature processors provide a mechanism to create features that can be used at 
+search and ingest time and they don’t take up space in the index.
+This process more tightly couples feature generation with the resulting model. 
+The result is simplified model management as both the features and the model can 
+easily follow the same life cycle.
