# bart-large-mnli
This is the checkpoint for [bart-large](https://huggingface.co/facebook/bart-large) after being trained on the [MultiNLI (MNLI)](https://huggingface.co/datasets/multi_nli) dataset.

## NLI-based Zero Shot Text Classification
[Yin et al.](https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.00161) proposed a method for using pre-trained NLI models as a ready-made zero-shot sequence classifiers. The method works by posing the sequence to be classified as the NLI premise and to construct a hypothesis from each candidate label. For example, if we want to evaluate whether a sequence belongs to the class "politics", we could construct a hypothesis of `This text is about politics.`. The probabilities for entailment and contradiction are then converted to label probabilities.
This method is surprisingly effective in many cases, particularly when used with larger pre-trained models like BART and Roberta. See [this blog post](https://joeddav.github.io/blog/2020/05/29/ZSL.html) for a more expansive introduction to this and other zero shot methods, and see the code snippets below for examples of using this model for zero-shot classification both with Hugging Face's built-in pipeline and with native Transformers/PyTorch code.
#### With the zero-shot classification pipeline
The model can be loaded with the `zero-shot-classification` pipeline like so:
```python
from transformers import pipeline
classifier = pipeline("zero-shot-classification",
model="facebook/bart-large-mnli")
```
You can then use this pipeline to classify sequences into any of the class names you specify.
```python
sequence_to_classify = "one day I will see the world"
candidate_labels = ['travel', 'cooking', 'dancing']
classifier(sequence_to_classify, candidate_labels)
#{'labels': ['travel', 'dancing', 'cooking'],
# 'scores': [0.9938651323318481, 0.0032737774308770895, 0.002861034357920289],
# 'sequence': 'one day I will see the world'}
```
If more than one candidate label can be correct, pass `multi_label=True` to calculate each class independently:
```python
candidate_labels = ['travel', 'cooking', 'dancing', 'exploration']
classifier(sequence_to_classify, candidate_labels, multi_label=True)
#{'labels': ['travel', 'exploration', 'dancing', 'cooking'],
# 'scores': [0.9945111274719238,
# 0.9383890628814697,
# 0.0057061901316046715,
# 0.0018193122232332826],
# 'sequence': 'one day I will see the world'}
```
#### With manual PyTorch
```python
# pose sequence as a NLI premise and label as a hypothesis
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer
nli_model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('facebook/bart-large-mnli')
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('facebook/bart-large-mnli')
premise = sequence
hypothesis = f'This example is {label}.'
# run through model pre-trained on MNLI
x = tokenizer.encode(premise, hypothesis, return_tensors='pt',
truncation_strategy='only_first')
logits = nli_model(x.to(device))[0]
# we throw away "neutral" (dim 1) and take the probability of
# "entailment" (2) as the probability of the label being true
entail_contradiction_logits = logits[:,[0,2]]
probs = entail_contradiction_logits.softmax(dim=1)
prob_label_is_true = probs[:,1]
```
