⭐ GLiClass: Generalist and Lightweight Model for Sequence Classification
This is an efficient zero-shot classifier inspired by GLiNER work. It demonstrates the same performance as a cross-encoder while being more compute-efficient because classification is done at a single forward path.
It can be used for topic classification
, sentiment analysis
and as a reranker in RAG
pipelines.
The model was trained on synthetic data and can be used in commercial applications.
How to use:
First of all, you need to install GLiClass library:
pip install gliclass
Than you need to initialize a model and a pipeline:
from gliclass import GLiClassModel, ZeroShotClassificationPipeline
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
model = GLiClassModel.from_pretrained("knowledgator/gliclass-base-v1.0")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("knowledgator/gliclass-base-v1.0")
pipeline = ZeroShotClassificationPipeline(model, tokenizer, classification_type='multi-label', device='cuda:0')
text = "One day I will see the world!"
labels = ["travel", "dreams", "sport", "science", "politics"]
results = pipeline(text, labels, threshold=0.5)[0] #because we have one text
for result in results:
print(result["label"], "=>", result["score"])
Benchmarks:
Below, you can see the F1 score on several text classification datasets. All tested models were not fine-tuned on those datasets and were tested in a zero-shot setting.
