How to use

  • The model is trained with sent_electra_large_uncased embeddings therefore the same embeddings should be used in the prediction pipeline.

  • The question pairs should be identified with “q1” and “q2” in the text. The input text format should be as follows : text = "q1: What is your name? q2: Who are you?"

document = DocumentAssembler()\
.setInputCol("text")\
.setOutputCol("document")

embeddings = BertSentenceEmbeddings.pretrained("sent_electra_large_uncased", "en") \
.setInputCols("document") \
.setOutputCol("sentence_embeddings")

document_classifier = ClassifierDLModel.pretrained('classifierdl_electra_questionpair', 'en') \
.setInputCols(["document", "sentence_embeddings"]) \
.setOutputCol("class")

nlpPipeline = Pipeline(stages=[document, embeddings, document_classifier])
light_pipeline = LightPipeline(nlpPipeline.fit(spark.createDataFrame([['']]).toDF("text")))

result_1 = light_pipeline.annotate("q1: What is your favorite movie? q2: Which movie do you like most?")
print(result_1["class"])

result_2 = light_pipeline.annotate("q1: What is your favorite movie? q2: Which movie genre would you like to watch?")
print(result_2["class"])
val document = DocumentAssembler()
.setInputCol("text")
.setOutputCol("document")

val embeddings = BertSentenceEmbeddings.pretrained("sent_electra_large_uncased", "en")
.setInputCols("document")
.setOutputCol("sentence_embeddings")

val document_classifier = ClassifierDLModel.pretrained("classifierdl_electra_questionpair", 'en')
.setInputCols(Array("document", "sentence_embeddings"))
.setOutputCol("class")

val nlpPipeline = new Pipeline().setStages(Array(document, embeddings, document_classifier))
val light_pipeline = LightPipeline(nlpPipeline.fit(spark.createDataFrame([['']]).toDF("text")))

val result_1 = light_pipeline.annotate("q1: What is your favorite movie? q2: Which movie do you like most?")

val result_2 = light_pipeline.annotate("q1: What is your favorite movie? q2: Which movie genre would you like to watch?")
import nlu
nlu.load("en.classify.questionpair").predict("""q1: What is your favorite movie? q2: Which movie genre would you like to watch?""")
