# GLiClass: Generalist and Lightweight Model for Sequence Classification
This is an efficient zero-shot classifier inspired by [GLiNER](https://github.com/urchade/GLiNER/tree/main) work. It demonstrates the same performance as a cross-encoder while being more compute-efficient because classification is done at a single forward path.
It can be used for `topic classification`, `sentiment analysis`, and as a reranker in `RAG` pipelines.
The model was trained on logical tasks to induce reasoning. LoRa adapters were used to fine-tune the model without destroying the previous knowledge.

### How to use:
First of all, you need to install GLiClass library:
```bash
pip install gliclass
pip install -U transformers>=4.48.0
```
Then you need to initialize a model and a pipeline:
```python
from gliclass import GLiClassModel, ZeroShotClassificationPipeline
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
model = GLiClassModel.from_pretrained("knowledgator/gliclass-modern-large-v3.0")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("knowledgator/gliclass-modern-large-v3.0", add_prefix_space=True)
pipeline = ZeroShotClassificationPipeline(model, tokenizer, classification_type='multi-label', device='cuda:0')
text = "One day I will see the world!"
labels = ["travel", "dreams", "sport", "science", "politics"]
results = pipeline(text, labels, threshold=0.5)[0] #because we have one text
for result in results:
print(result["label"], "=>", result["score"])
```
If you want to use it for NLI type of tasks, we recommend representing your premise as a text and hypothesis as a label, you can put several hypotheses, but the model works best with a single input hypothesis.
```python
# Initialize model and multi-label pipeline
text = "The cat slept on the windowsill all afternoon"
labels = ["The cat was awake and playing outside."]
results = pipeline(text, labels, threshold=0.0)[0]
print(results)
```
### Benchmarks:
Below, you can see the F1 score on several text classification datasets. All tested models were not fine-tuned on those datasets and were tested in a zero-shot setting.
