LEPTON (Classical Chinese Letter Prediction)

Open In Colab

Our model LEPTON (Classical Chinese Letter Prediction) is BertForSequenceClassification Classical Chinese model that is intended to predict whether a Classical Chinese sentence is a letter title (书信标题) or not. This model is first inherited from the BERT base Chinese model (MLM), and finetuned using a large corpus of Classical Chinese language (3GB textual dataset), then concatenated with the BertForSequenceClassification architecture to perform a binary classification task.

  • Labels: 0 = non-letter, 1 = letter

Model description

The BertForSequenceClassification model architecture inherits the BERT base model and concatenates a fully-connected linear layer to perform a binary-class classification task.More precisely, it was pretrained with two objectives:

  • Masked language modeling (MLM): The masked language modeling architecture randomly masks 15% of the words in the inputs, and the model is trained to predict the masked words. The BERT base model uses this MLM architecture and is pre-trained on a large corpus of data. BERT is proven to produce robust word embedding and can capture rich contextual and semantic relationships. Our model inherits the publicly available pre-trained BERT Chinese model trained on modern Chinese data. To perform a Classical Chinese letter classification task, we first finetuned the model using a large corpus of Classical Chinese data (3GB textual data), and then connected it to the BertForSequenceClassification architecture for Classical Chinese letter classification.

  • Sequence classification: the model concatenates a fully-connected linear layer to output the probability of each class. In our binary classification task, the final linear layer has two classes.

How to use

Note that this model is primiarly aimed at predicting whether a Classical Chinese sentence is a letter title (书信标题) or not.

Here is how to use this model to get the features of a given text in PyTorch:

1. Import model and packages

from transformers import BertTokenizer
from transformers import BertForSequenceClassification
import torch
from numpy import exp
import numpy as np

tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('bert-base-chinese')
model = BertForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('cbdb/ClassicalChineseLetterClassification',
                                                     output_attentions=False,
                                                     output_hidden_states=False)

2. Make a prediction

max_seq_len = 512

def softmax(vector):
    e = exp(vector)
    return e / e.sum()
 
def predict_class(test_sen):
  tokens_test = tokenizer.encode_plus(
      test_sen, 
      add_special_tokens=True, 
      return_attention_mask=True, 
      padding=True, 
      max_length=max_seq_len, 
      return_tensors='pt',
      truncation=True
  )

  test_seq = torch.tensor(tokens_test['input_ids'])
  test_mask = torch.tensor(tokens_test['attention_mask'])

  # get predictions for test data
  with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(test_seq, test_mask)
    outputs = outputs.logits.detach().cpu().numpy()

  softmax_score = softmax(outputs)
  pred_class_dict = {k:v for k, v in zip(label2idx.keys(), softmax_score[0])}
  return pred_class_dict

label2idx = {'not-letter': 0,'letter': 1}
idx2label = {v:k for k,v in label2idx.items()}

3. Change your sentence here

label2idx = {'not-letter': 0,'letter': 1}
idx2label = {v:k for k,v in label2idx.items()}

test_sen = '上丞相康思公書'
pred_class_proba = predict_class(test_sen)
print(f'The predicted probability for the {list(pred_class_proba.keys())[0]} class: {list(pred_class_proba.values())[0]}')
print(f'The predicted probability for the {list(pred_class_proba.keys())[1]} class: {list(pred_class_proba.values())[1]}')

Output: The predicted probability for the not-letter class: 0.002029061783105135

Output: The predicted probability for the letter class: 0.9979709386825562

pred_class = idx2label[np.argmax(list(pred_class_proba.values()))]
print(f'The predicted class is: {pred_class}')

Output: The predicted class is: letter
