# Presentation
We introduce the Bloomz-7b1-mt-NLI model, fine-tuned from the [Bloomz-7b1-mt-chat-dpo](https://huggingface.co/cmarkea/bloomz-7b1-mt-dpo-chat) foundation model.
This model is trained on a Natural Language Inference (NLI) task in a language-agnostic manner. The NLI task involves determining the semantic relationship
between a hypothesis and a set of premises, often expressed as pairs of sentences.

The goal is to predict textual entailment (does sentence A imply/contradict/neither sentence B?) and is a classification task (given two sentences, predict one of the
three labels).
If sentence A is called *premise*, and sentence B is called *hypothesis*, then the goal of the modelization is to estimate the following:
$$P(premise=c\in\{contradiction, entailment, neutral\}\vert hypothesis)$$

### Language-agnostic approach
It should be noted that hypotheses and premises are randomly chosen between English and French, with each language combination representing a probability of 25%.

### Performance

| **class**          | **precision (%)** | **f1-score (%)** | **support** |
| :----------------: | :---------------: | :--------------: | :---------: |
| **global**         | 83.31             | 83.02            | 5,010       |
| **contradiction**  | 81.27             | 86.63            | 1,670       | 
| **entailment**     | 87.54             | 83.57            | 1,670       |
| **neutral**        | 81.13             | 78.86            | 1,670       |

### Benchmark

Here are the performances for both the hypothesis and premise in French:

# Zero-shot Classification
The primary interest of training such models lies in their zero-shot classification performance. This means that the model is able to classify any text with any label
without a specific training. What sets the Bloomz-7b1-mt-NLI LLMs apart in this domain is their ability to model and extract information from significantly more complex
and lengthy text structures compared to models like BERT, RoBERTa, or CamemBERT.

The zero-shot classification task can be summarized by:
$$P(hypothesis=i\in\mathcal{C}|premise)=\frac{e^{P(premise=entailment\vert hypothesis=i)}}{\sum_{j\in\mathcal{C}}e^{P(premise=entailment\vert hypothesis=j)}}$$
With *i* representing a hypothesis composed of a template (for example, "This text is about {}.") and *#C* candidate labels ("cinema", "politics", etc.), the set
of hypotheses is composed of {"This text is about cinema.", "This text is about politics.", ...}. It is these hypotheses that we will measure against the premise, which
is the sentence we aim to classify.

### Performance

The model is evaluated based on sentiment analysis evaluation on the French film review site [Allociné](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allocine). The dataset is labeled 
into 2 classes, positive comments and negative comments in 20,000 reviews. We then use the hypothesis template "Ce commentaire est {}." and the candidate classes 
"positif" and "negatif".

```python
from transformers import pipeline

classifier = pipeline(
    task='zero-shot-classification',
    model="cmarkea/bloomz-7b1-mt-nli"
)
result = classifier (
    sequences="Le style très cinéphile de Quentin Tarantino "
    "se reconnaît entre autres par sa narration postmoderne "
    "et non linéaire, ses dialogues travaillés souvent "
    "émaillés de références à la culture populaire, et ses "
    "scènes hautement esthétiques mais d'une violence "
    "extrême, inspirées de films d'exploitation, d'arts "
    "martiaux ou de western spaghetti.",
    candidate_labels="cinéma, technologie, littérature, politique",
    hypothesis_template="Ce texte parle de {}."
)

result

# Resilience in cross-language French/English context
result = classifier (
    sequences="Quentin Tarantino's very cinephile style is "
    "recognized, among other things, by his postmodern and "
    "non-linear narration, his elaborate dialogues often "
    "peppered with references to popular culture, and his "
    "highly aesthetic but extremely violent scenes, inspired by "
    "exploitation films, martial arts or spaghetti western.",
    candidate_labels="cinéma, technologie, littérature, politique",
    hypothesis_template="Ce texte parle de {}."
)

result
{"labels": ["cinéma",
            "littérature",
            "technologie",
            "politique"],
 "scores": [0.8161508440971375,
