sequence-classifier

sequence-classifier is an open-source library designed for sequence classification in PyTorch. It provides utilities for sequence classifiers, particularly Conditional random fields (CRFs), and it can calculate the log likelihood of tag sequences and retrieve the best label sequences. sequence-classifier also offers the capability to compute the marginal log likelihood and the marginal probability. These features are handy when working with partially annotated datasets.

If you are searching for libraries to handle sequence labeling tasks such as named-entity recognition or part-of-speech tagging combined with the use of foundation models like BERT, RoBERTa, or DeBERTa, you will find sequence-classifier to be helpful.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+

Installation

You can install sequence-classifier via pip:

pip install sequence-classifier

Basic Usage

import torch
from sequence_classifier.crf import Crf

batch_size = 3
sequence_length = 15
num_tags = 6

logits = torch.randn(batch_size, sequence_length, num_tags)
tag_indices = torch.randint(0, num_tags, (batch_size, sequence_length))

model = Crf(num_tags)

dist = model(logits)

nll_loss = dist.log_likelihood(tag_indices).sum().neg()
best_sequence = dist.argmax
