# Zero-shot Implicit Binary BERT 

This model is a BERT model. 
It was introduced in the Findings of ACL'23 Paper **Label Agnostic Pre-training for Zero-shot Text Classification** by ***Christopher Clarke, Yuzhao Heng, Yiping Kang, Krisztian Flautner, Lingjia Tang and Jason Mars***. 
The code for training and evaluating this model can be found [here](https://github.com/ChrisIsKing/zero-shot-text-classification/tree/master). 

## Model description

This model was trained via the binary classification framework. It is intended for zero-shot text classification. 
It was trained via implicit training with the aspect-normalized [UTCD](https://huggingface.co/datasets/claritylab/UTCD) dataset. 

- **Finetuned from model:** [`bert-base-uncased`](https://huggingface.co/bert-base-uncased)


## Usage

You can use the model like this:

```python
>>> from zeroshot_classifier.models import BinaryBertCrossEncoder
>>> model = BinaryBertCrossEncoder(model_name='claritylab/zero-shot-implicit-binary-bert')

>>> text = "I'd like to have this track onto my Classical Relaxations playlist."
>>> labels = [
>>>     'Add To Playlist', 'Book Restaurant', 'Get Weather', 'Play Music', 'Rate Book', 'Search Creative Work',
>>>     'Search Screening Event'
>>> ]
>>> aspect = 'intent'

>>> query = [[text, f'{lb} {aspect}'] for lb in labels]
>>> logits = model.predict(query, apply_softmax=True)
>>> print(logits)
