📄 Multi Label¶

This is multi label text classification task. The set of ‘classes’ we want to classify to is provided as a list of strings.

The ‘text_type’ is an optional field that defines the type of text we classify (e.g. “document”, “review”, etc.). This can be used by the template to customize the prompt.

The ‘type_of_class’ is a field that the defines the type of classes (e.g. “emotions”, “risks”)

The ‘classes’ , ‘type_of_classes’ and ‘text_type’ should be the same on all instances.

The expected output is a list of classes that correspond to the given text (could be an empty list. The default reported metrics are the classical f1_micro, f1_macro and accuracy.

Explanation about Task¶

Task packs the different instance fields into dictionaries by their roles in the task.

Args:

input_fields (Union[Dict[str, str], List[str]]):
Dictionary with string names of instance input fields and types of respective values. In case a list is passed, each type will be assumed to be Any.

reference_fields (Union[Dict[str, str], List[str]]):
Dictionary with string names of instance output fields and types of respective values. In case a list is passed, each type will be assumed to be Any.

metrics (List[str]):
List of names of metrics to be used in the task.

prediction_type (Optional[str]):
Need to be consistent with all used metrics. Defaults to None, which means that it will be set to Any.

defaults (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]):
An optional dictionary with default values for chosen input/output keys. Needs to be consistent with names and types provided in ‘input_fields’ and/or ‘output_fields’ arguments. Will not overwrite values if already provided in a given instance.

The output instance contains three fields:

“input_fields” whose value is a sub-dictionary of the input instance, consisting of all the fields listed in Arg ‘input_fields’.

“reference_fields” – for the fields listed in Arg “reference_fields”.

“metrics” – to contain the value of Arg ‘metrics’
