pipelines.ZeroShotClassificationPipeline

NLI-based zero-shot classification pipeline using a ModelForSequenceClassification trained on NLI (natural language inference) tasks.

It usually means it’s slower but it is much more flexible.

Example: Zero shot classification with Xenova/mobilebert-uncased-mnli.

Copied

let text = 'Last week I upgraded my iOS version and ever since then my phone has been overheating whenever I use your app.';
let labels = [ 'mobile', 'billing', 'website', 'account access' ];

let output = await classifier(text, labels);
// {
//   sequence: 'Last week I upgraded my iOS version and ever since then my phone has been overheating whenever I use your app.',
//   labels: [ 'mobile', 'website', 'billing', 'account access' ],
//   scores: [ 0.5562091040482018, 0.1843621307860853, 0.13942646639336376, 0.12000229877234923 ]
// }

Example: Zero shot classification with Xenova/nli-deberta-v3-xsmall (multi-label).
