PyTextClassifier: Python Text Classifier

Introduction

PyTextClassifier: Python Text Classifier. It can be applied to the fields of sentiment polarity analysis, text risk classification and so on, and it supports multiple classification algorithms and clustering algorithms.

pytextclassifier is a python Open Source Toolkit for text classification. The goal is to implement text analysis algorithm, so to achieve the use in the production environment.

文本分类器，提供多种文本分类和聚类算法，支持句子和文档级的文本分类任务，支持二分类、多分类、多标签分类、多层级分类和Kmeans聚类，开箱即用。python3开发。

Text Classifier

English Text Classifier

Including model training, saving, predict, evaluate, for example examples/lr_en_classification_demo.py:

import sys

sys.path.append('..')
from pytextclassifier import ClassicClassifier

if __name__ == '__main__':
    m = ClassicClassifier(output_dir='models/lr', model_name_or_model='lr')
    # ClassicClassifier support model_name：lr, random_forest, decision_tree, knn, bayes, svm, xgboost
    print(m)
    data = [
        ('education', 'Student debt to cost Britain billions within decades'),
        ('education', 'Chinese education for TV experiment'),
        ('sports', 'Middle East and Asia boost investment in top level sports'),
        ('sports', 'Summit Series look launches HBO Canada sports doc series: Mudhar')
    ]
    # train and save best model
    m.train(data)
    # load best model from model_dir
    m.load_model()
    predict_label, predict_proba = m.predict([
        'Abbott government spends $8 million on higher education media blitz'])
    print(f'predict_label: {predict_label}, predict_proba: {predict_proba}')

    test_data = [
        ('education', 'Abbott government spends $8 million on higher education media blitz'),

多标签分类模型

分类可以分为多分类和多标签分类。多分类的标签是排他的，而多标签分类的所有标签是不排他的。

多标签分类比较直观的理解是，一个样本可以同时拥有几个类别标签， 比如一首歌的标签可以是流行、轻快，一部电影的标签可以是动作、喜剧、搞笑等，这都是多标签分类的情况。

多层级分类模型

多层级标签分类任务，如行业分类（一级行业下分二级子行业，再分三级）、产品分类，可以使用多标签分类模型，将多层级标签转换为多标签形式， 示例examples/bert_hierarchical_classification_zh_demo.py.py

ONNX推理加速

支持将训练好的模型导出为ONNX格式，以便推理加速，或者在其他环境如C++部署模型调用。

• GPU环境下导出ONNX模型，用ONNX模型推理，可以获得10倍以上的推理加速，需要安装onnxruntime-gpu库：pip install onnxruntime-gpu
• CPU环境下导出ONNX模型，用ONNX模型推理，可以获得6倍以上的推理加速，需要安装onnxruntime库：pip install onnxruntime

    feature, labels = tcluster.train(data[:5000])
    tcluster.show_clusters(feature, labels, 'models/cluster/cluster_train_seg_samples.png')
    r = tcluster.predict(data[:30])
    print(r)

output:

TextCluster instance (MiniBatchKMeans(n_clusters=2, n_init=10), <pytextclassifier.utils.tokenizer.Tokenizer object at 0x7f80bd4682b0>, TfidfVectorizer(ngram_range=(1, 2)))

项目代码还很粗糙，如果大家对代码有所改进，欢迎提交回本项目，在提交之前，注意以下两点：

• 在tests添加相应的单元测试
• 使用python setup.py test来运行所有单元测试，确保所有单测都是通过的

之后即可提交PR。
