gliclass 0.1.3

Generalist and Lightweight Model for Text Classification

⭐ GLiClass: Generalist and Lightweight Model for Sequence Classification

This is an efficient zero-shot classifier inspired by GLiNER work. It demonstrates the same performance as a cross-encoder while being more compute-efficient because classification is done at a single forward path.

It can be used for topic classification, sentiment analysis and as a reranker in RAG pipelines.

Instalation:

pip install gliclass

How to use:

from gliclass import GLiClassModel, ZeroShotClassificationPipeline
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model = GLiClassModel.from_pretrained("knowledgator/gliclass-small-v1")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("knowledgator/gliclass-small-v1")

pipeline = ZeroShotClassificationPipeline(model, tokenizer, classification_type='multi-label', device='cuda:0')

text = "One day I will see the world!"
labels = ["travel", "dreams", "sport", "science", "politics"]
results = pipeline(text, labels, threshold=0.5)[0] #because we have one text

for result in results:
 print(result["label"], "=>", result["score"])

How to train:

Prepare training data in the following format: [ {"text": "Some text here!", "all_labels": ["sport", "science", "business", ...], "true_labels": ["other"]}, ... ]

Specify your training parameters in the train.py script.
