๐Ÿท What is Autolabel

Access to large, clean and diverse labeled datasets is a critical component for any machine learning effort to be successful. But data labeling is a manual and time-consuming process. State-of-the-art LLMs like GPT-4 are able to automatically label data with high accuracy, and at a fraction of the cost and time.

Autolabel is a Python library to label, clean and enrich text datasets with any Large Language Models (LLM) of your choice. A few key features:

  1. Label data for NLP tasks such as classification, question-answering and named entity-recognition, entity matching and more.
  2. Use commercial or open source LLMs from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Google and more.
  3. Support for research-proven LLM techniques to boost label quality, such as few-shot learning and chain-of-thought prompting.
  4. Confidence estimation and explanations out of the box for every single output label
  5. Caching and state management to minimize costs and experimentation time

๐Ÿš€ Getting started

Autolabel provides a simple 3-step process for labeling data:

  1. Specify the labeling guidelines and LLM model to use in a JSON config.
  2. Dry-run to make sure the final prompt looks good.
  3. Kick off a labeling run for your dataset!

Let's imagine we are building an ML model to analyze sentiment analysis of movie review. We have a dataset of moview reviews that we'd like to get labeled first. For this case, here's what the example dataset and configs will look like:

{
    "task_name": "MovieSentimentReview",
    "task_type": "classification",
    "model": {
        "provider": "openai",
        "name": "gpt-3.5-turbo"
    },
    "dataset": {
        "label_column": "label",
        "delimiter": ","
    },
    "prompt": {
        "task_guidelines": "You are an expert at analyzing the sentiment of moview reviews. Your job is to classify the provided movie review into one of the following labels: {labels}",
        "labels": [
            "positive",
            "negative",
            "neutral",
        ],
        "few_shot_examples": [
            {
                "example": "I got a fairly uninspired stupid film about how human industry is bad for nature.",
                "label": "negative"
            },
            {
                "example": "I loved this movie. I found it very heart warming to see Adam West, Burt Ward, Frank Gorshin, and Julie Newmar together again.",
                "label": "positive"
            },
            {
                "example": "This movie will be played next week at the Chinese theater.",
                "label": "neutral"
            }
        ],
        "example_template": "Input: {example}\nOutput: {label}"
    }
}

Initialize the labeling agent and pass it the config:

from autolabel import LabelingAgent

agent = LabelingAgent(config='config.json')

Preview an example prompt that will be sent to the LLM:

agent.plan('examples/movie_reviews/dataset.csv')

This prints:

Prompt Example:
You are an expert at analyzing the sentiment of moview reviews. Your job is to classify the provided movie review into one of the following labels: [positive, negative, neutral]

You will return the answer with just one element: "the correct label"

Some examples with their output answers are provided below:

Example: I got a fairly uninspired stupid film about how human industry is bad for nature.
Output:
negative

Example: I loved this movie. I found it very heart warming to see Adam West, Burt Ward, Frank Gorshin, and Julie Newmar together again.
Output:
positive

Example: This movie will be played next week at the Chinese theater.
Output:
neutral

Now I want you to label the following example:
Input: A rare exception to the rule that great literature makes disappointing films.
Output:

โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€

Finally, we can run the labeling on a subset or entirety of the dataset:

labels, output_df, metrics = agent.run('examples/movie_reviews/dataset.csv')
