⭐ 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.

This model wasn't additionally fine-tuned on any dataset except initial (MoritzLaurer/synthetic_zeroshot_mixtral_v0.1).

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-large-v1.0-init")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("knowledgator/gliclass-large-v1.0-init")

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.
