DIETClassifier - Pytorch

DIETClassifier stand for Dual Intent Entity from Transformers which can be used to do intent classification and entities recognition at the same time.

• Using Huggingface Transformers's BERT architect
• Wrapped by python, with various implemented functions (reads dataset from .yml, builds and trains model, gives dictionary ouput)

Requirements

• [transformers] - Library for using transformers models in nlp task
• [pytorch] - Framework for deep learning task in python
• [fastapi] - Backend building framework

You can also install all requirement packages by:

git clone https://github.com/WeiNyn/DIETClassifier-pytorch.git
cd DIETClassifier-pytorch/
pip install -r requirements.txt

Demo

You can use demo server to create a server that receive text message and predict intent, entities:

• Download pretrained model from this link
• extract "latest_model" to "DIETClassifier-pytorch/"
• run

uvicorn demo.server:app

Attribute	Explain
model	name of transformers pretrained model or path to local model
tokenizer	name of transformers pretrained tokenizer or path to local tokenizer
dataset_folder	folder that container dataset files, using rasa nlu format
exclude_file	files in folder that will not be used to train
entities	list of entities
intents	list of intents
synonym	synonym list for synonym entities
device	device to use ("cpu", "cuda", "cuda:0", etc)
train_range	range to split dataset into train and valid set
num_train_epochs	number of training epochs
per_device_train/eval_batch_size	batch size when train/eval
logging_dir	directory to save log file (tensorboard supported)
early_stopping_patience/threshold	hyper parameters for early stopping training
output_dir	directory to save model while training

Usage

You can use DIETClassifierWrapper for loading, training, predicting in python code:

from src.models.wrapper import DIETClassifierWrapper

config_file = "src/config.yml"
wrapper = DIETClassifierWrapper(config=config_file)

#predict
wrapper.predict(["How to check attendance?"])

#train
#after training, wrapper will load best model automatically
wrapper.train_model(save_folder="test_model")

You can also use DIETClassifier in src.models.classifier as huggingface transformers model

from src.models.classifier import DIETClassifier, DIETClassifierConfig

config = DIETClassifierConfig(model="BERT-base-uncased", 
                              intents=[str(i) for i in range(10)], 
                              entities=[str(i) for i in range(5)])

model = DIETClassifier(config=config)

Notice

• This DIETClassifier using BERT base as the base architect, if you want to change to RoBerta, ALBert, etc. You need to modify the DIETClassifier Class.
• You can also use any BERT base pretrained from Huggingface transformers for creating and fine tune yourself
• Please read the source code to understand how the dataset be created in case that you want to make dataset in another file format.
• If you get the error: AttributeError: """'NoneType' object has no attribute 'detach'""", please check the issue #5
