Perspectives: Pandas-based library for emotion graphing and semantic search with LMs

Overview

The Perspectives library offers an easy way to extract perspectives (emotion events with a speaker, emotion, object, and reason) at scale with its cutting-edge emotion extraction model. It is built on top of the powerful pandas DataFrame functionality, with added support for semantic search. The library introduces several novel methods for text analytics, perfect for dealing with customer feedback, analyzing semantic trends, or profiling entities within a text.

Main Features

1. Easily extract perspectives from text: The get_perspectives() function allows you to extract the speaker's identity, emotions, and the object of these emotions, giving you useful insights about the emotions in your text.

2. Powerful search capabilities: You can perform semantic search on the dataset based on any column or combination of columns in the dataset (including columns generated from perspective extraction) . The search method leverages the sentence transformer models for semantic search functionality, providing you with outputs that are spot-on.

3. Improved machine learning models: The library efficiently interfaces with specialized model bart-perspectives for extraction and the mpnet-base model for search.

4. Structured emotional outcomes: All outputs are neatly structured in DataFrame format, allowing for easy downstream analysis and visualizations.

Installation

pip install perspectives

Usage

from perspectives import DataFrame

# Load DataFrame
df = DataFrame(texts = [list of sentences]) 

# Get perspectives
df.get_perspectives()

# Semantic search on any combination of columns
df.search(speaker='...', emotion='...')

# Profile
df.graph(speaker='...')

About me

I'm a recent grad of Ohio State University where I did an undergraduate thesis on Synthetic Data Augmentation using LLMs. I've worked as an NLP consultant for a couple awesome startups, and now I'm looking for a role with an inspiring company who is as interested in the untapped potential of LMs as I am! Here's my LinkedIn.
