document_assembler = nlp.DocumentAssembler()\
    .setInputCol("text")\
    .setOutputCol("document")
  
embeddings = nlp.BertSentenceEmbeddings.pretrained("sent_bert_base_cased", "en")\
    .setInputCols("document")\
    .setOutputCol("sentence_embeddings")
    
doc_classifier = legal.ClassifierDLModel.pretrained("legclf_letter_agreement_bert", "en", "legal/models")\
    .setInputCols(["sentence_embeddings"])\
    .setOutputCol("category")
    
nlpPipeline = nlp.Pipeline(stages=[
    document_assembler, 
    embeddings,
    doc_classifier])
 
df = spark.createDataFrame([["YOUR TEXT HERE"]]).toDF("text")

model = nlpPipeline.fit(df)

result = model.transform(df)
