  1. Improve personalization for users of large sites

    Allow callers to specify a `section` name that the classifier can
    use to develop a topics list, to improve personalization for users
    of large, multi-topic sites.
    
    If the topic list is per-hostname, a user of a large general-interest
    site may receive inadequate personalization compared to a user of
    multiple niche sites with only a few topics per site.
    
    For example, a classifier might map a large news site's hostname to
    the topics "real estate", "political news", and "crossword puzzles"
    resulting in sub-optimal personalization for the users who primarily
    visit the site for its fashion coverage, electronics reviews,
    or parenting advice.
    
    Without section information, a general-interest video hosting or
    social site would also provide very little helpful personalization
    info to its users, while it receives helpful personalization info
    as a result of the same people's visits to small sites that cover
    only a few topics.
    
    A section can be any subdivision of a site, including a "channel"
    "group" or "space."

  1. Sections are not topics

    Sections are some kind of sub-division of a site that can split out
    groups of topics. Section names are not used as topics.
