🤖 Intent Detection using Fine-Tuned BERT

This project utilizes a fine-tuned BERT model (bert-base-uncased) for intent classification tasks. It is an encoder-only transformer designed to detect user intents from text inputs (e.g., chatbot queries) and classify them into predefined categories such as banking, travel, finance, and more.

The model is trained on the CLINC150 (clinc_oos) dataset and evaluated using accuracy as the primary metric.
