📣 UPDATE: If you like/use Tucanos or GigaVerbo for anything, know that version 2 is already out. Go to our new organization (Polyglot) to check out all the improvements the Tucano 2 series brings!

XGBClassifier-text-filter is a text-quality filter built on top of the xgboost library. It uses the embeddings generated by sentence-transformers/LaBSE as a feature vector.

This repository has the source code used to train this model.

Usage

Here's an example of how to use the XGBClassifier-text-filter:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
from xgboost import XGBClassifier
import torch.nn.functional as F
import torch

def mean_pooling(model_output, attention_mask):
    token_embeddings = model_output[0]
    input_mask_expanded = attention_mask.unsqueeze(-1).expand(token_embeddings.size()).float()
    return torch.sum(token_embeddings * input_mask_expanded, 1) / torch.clamp(input_mask_expanded.sum(1), min=1e-9)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("sentence-transformers/LaBSE")
embedding_model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("sentence-transformers/LaBSE")
device = ("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
embedding_model.to(device)

bst = XGBClassifier({'device': device})
bst.load_model('/path/to/XGBClassifier-text-classifier.json')

def score_text(text, model):

    encoded_input = tokenizer(text, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt').to(device)

    with torch.no_grad():
        model_output = embedding_model(**encoded_input)

    sentence_embedding = mean_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])

    embedding = F.normalize(sentence_embedding, p=2, dim=1).numpy()
    score = model.predict(embedding)[0]

    return score

score_text("Os tucanos são aves que correspondem à família Ramphastidae, vivem nas florestas tropicais da América Central e América do Sul. A família inclui cinco gêneros e mais de quarenta espécies diferentes. Possuem bicos notavelmente grandes e coloridos, que possuem a função de termorregulação para as muitas espécies que passam muito tempo na copa da floresta exposta ao sol tropical quente.", bst)
