Test License PyPI - Python Version Platform Conda Release Downloads HF Spaces Last commit Github stars YouTube Channel Subscribers



Note: Obsei is still in alpha stage hence carefully use it in Production. Also, as it is constantly undergoing development hence master branch may contain many breaking changes. Please use released version.

Obsei (pronounced "Ob see" | /əb-'sē/) is an open-source, low-code, AI powered automation tool. Obsei consists of -

  • Observer: Collect unstructured data from various sources like tweets from Twitter, Subreddit comments on Reddit, page post's comments from Facebook, App Stores reviews, Google reviews, Amazon reviews, News, Website, etc.
  • Analyzer: Analyze unstructured data collected with various AI tasks like classification, sentiment analysis, translation, PII, etc.
  • Informer: Send analyzed data to various destinations like ticketing platforms, data storage, dataframe, etc so that the user can take further actions and perform analysis on the data.

All the Observers can store their state in databases (Sqlite, Postgres, MySQL, etc.), making Obsei suitable for scheduled jobs or serverless applications.

Some analyzer support GPU and to utilize pass device parameter. List of possible values of device parameter (default value auto):

  1. auto: GPU (cuda:0) will be used if available otherwise CPU will be used
  2. cpu: CPU will be used
  3. cuda:{id} - GPU will be used with provided CUDA device id

Text Classification

Text classification: Classify text into user provided categories.

from obsei.analyzer.classification_analyzer import ClassificationAnalyzerConfig, ZeroShotClassificationAnalyzer

# initialize classification analyzer config
# It can also detect sentiments if "positive" and "negative" labels are added.
analyzer_config=ClassificationAnalyzerConfig(
   labels=["service", "delay", "performance"],

text_analyzer = ZeroShotClassificationAnalyzer(
   model_name_or_path="typeform/mobilebert-uncased-mnli",
   device="auto"
)
Sentiment Analyzer

Sentiment Analyzer: Detect the sentiment of the text. Text classification can also perform sentiment analysis but if you don't want to use heavy-duty NLP model then use less resource hungry dictionary based Vader Sentiment detector.

from obsei.analyzer.sentiment_analyzer import VaderSentimentAnalyzer

# Vader does not need any configuration settings
analyzer_config=None

# initialize vader sentiment analyzer
text_analyzer = VaderSentimentAnalyzer()
NER Analyzer

NER (Named-Entity Recognition) Analyzer: Extract information and classify named entities mentioned in text into pre-defined categories such as person names, organizations, locations, medical codes, time expressions, quantities, monetary values, percentages, etc

   PresidioPIIAnalyzer, PresidioPIIAnalyzerConfig

# initialize pii analyzer's config
analyzer_config = PresidioPIIAnalyzerConfig(
   # Whether to return only pii analysis or anonymize text
   analyze_only=False,
   # Whether to return detail information about anonymization decision
   return_decision_process=True
)

# initialize pii analyzer
analyzer = PresidioPIIAnalyzer(
   engine_config=PresidioEngineConfig(
       # spacy and stanza nlp engines are supported
       # For more info refer
       # https://microsoft.github.io/presidio/analyzer/developing_recognizers/#utilize-spacy-or-stanza
       nlp_engine_name="spacy",
       # Update desired spacy model and language
       models=[PresidioModelConfig(model_name="en_core_web_lg", lang_code="en")]
   )
)
Dummy Analyzer

Dummy Analyzer: Does nothing. Its simply used for transforming the input (TextPayload) to output (TextPayload) and adding the user supplied dummy data.

from obsei.analyzer.dummy_analyzer import DummyAnalyzer, DummyAnalyzerConfig

# initialize dummy analyzer's configuration settings
analyzer_config = DummyAnalyzerConfig()

# initialize dummy analyzer

   slack_token="<Slack_app_token>",
   # To get channel id refer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40940327/what-is-the-simplest-way-to-find-a-slack-team-id-and-a-channel-id
   channel_id="C01LRS6CT9Q"
)

# initialize slack sink
sink = SlackSink()
Zendesk
from obsei.sink.zendesk_sink import ZendeskSink, ZendeskSinkConfig, ZendeskCredInfo

# initialize zendesk sink config
sink_config = ZendeskSinkConfig(
   # provide zendesk domain
   domain="zendesk.com",
   # provide subdomain if you have one
   subdomain=None,
   # Enter zendesk user details
   cred_info=ZendeskCredInfo(
       email="<zendesk_user_email>",
       password="<zendesk_password>"
   )
)

# initialize zendesk sink
sink = ZendeskSink()
Jira
from obsei.sink.jira_sink import JiraSink, JiraSinkConfig

# For testing purpose you can start jira server locally
# Refer https://developer.atlassian.com/server/framework/atlassian-sdk/atlas-run-standalone/

# initialize Jira sink config
sink_config = JiraSinkConfig(
   url="http://localhost:2990/jira", # Jira server url
    # Jira username & password for user who have permission to create issue
   username="<username>",
   password="<password>",
   # Which type of issue to be created
   # For more information refer https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/what-are-issue-types/
   issue_type={"name": "Task"},
   # Under which project issue to be created
   # For more information refer https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/what-is-a-jira-software-project/
   project={"key": "CUS"},
)

# initialize Jira sink
sink = JiraSink()
ElasticSearch
from obsei.sink.elasticsearch_sink import ElasticSearchSink, ElasticSearchSinkConfig

# For testing purpose you can start Elasticsearch server locally via docker
# `docker run -d --name elasticsearch -p 9200:9200 -e "discovery.type=single-node" elasticsearch:7.9.2`

# initialize Elasticsearch sink config
sink_config = ElasticSearchSinkConfig(
   # Elasticsearch server hostname
   host="localhost",
   # Elasticsearch server port
   port=9200,
   # Index name, it will create if not exist
   index_name="test",
)

# initialize Elasticsearch sink
sink = ElasticSearchSink()
Http
from obsei.sink.http_sink import HttpSink, HttpSinkConfig

# For testing purpose you can create mock http server via postman
# For more details refer https://learning.postman.com/docs/designing-and-developing-your-api/mocking-data/setting-up-mock/

# initialize http sink config (Currently only POST call is supported)
sink_config = HttpSinkConfig(
   # provide http server url
   url="https://localhost:8080/api/path",
   # Here you can add headers you would like to pass with request
   headers={
       "Content-type": "application/json"
   }
)

# To modify or converting the payload, create convertor class
# Refer obsei.sink.dailyget_sink.PayloadConvertor for example

# initialize http sink
sink = HttpSink()
Pandas DataFrame
from pandas import DataFrame
from obsei.sink.pandas_sink import PandasSink, PandasSinkConfig

# initialize pandas sink config
sink_config = PandasSinkConfig(
   dataframe=DataFrame()
)

# initialize pandas sink
sink = PandasSink()
Logger

This is useful for testing and dry running the pipeline.

from obsei.sink.logger_sink import LoggerSink, LoggerSinkConfig
import logging
import sys

logger = logging.getLogger("Obsei")
logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stdout, level=logging.INFO)

# initialize logger sink config
sink_config = LoggerSinkConfig(
   logger=logger,
   level=logging.INFO
)

# initialize logger sink
sink = LoggerSink()
Step 6: Join and create workflow

source will fetch data from the selected source, then feed it to the analyzer for processing, whose output we feed into a sink to get notified at that sink.

# Uncomment if you want logger
# import logging
# import sys
# logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
# logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stdout, level=logging.INFO)

# This will fetch information from configured source ie twitter, app store etc
source_response_list = source.lookup(source_config)

# Uncomment if you want to log source response
# for idx, source_response in enumerate(source_response_list):
#     logger.info(f"source_response#'{idx}'='{source_response.__dict__}'")

# This will execute analyzer (Sentiment, classification etc) on source data with provided analyzer_config
analyzer_response_list = text_analyzer.analyze_input(
    source_response_list=source_response_list,
    analyzer_config=analyzer_config
)

# Uncomment if you want to log analyzer response
# for idx, an_response in enumerate(analyzer_response_list):
#    logger.info(f"analyzer_response#'{idx}'='{an_response.__dict__}'")

# Analyzer output added to segmented_data
# Uncomment to log it
# for idx, an_response in enumerate(analyzer_response_list):
#    logger.info(f"analyzed_data#'{idx}'='{an_response.segmented_data.__dict__}'")

# This will send analyzed output to configure sink ie Slack, Zendesk etc
sink_response_list = sink.send_data(analyzer_response_list, sink_config)

# Uncomment if you want to log sink response
# for sink_response in sink_response_list:
#     if sink_response is not None:
#         logger.info(f"sink_response='{sink_response}'")
Step 7: Execute workflow Copy the code snippets from Steps 3 to 6 into a python file, for example example.py and execute the following command -
python example.py
