How to use the model

With the zero-shot classification pipeline

The model can be loaded with the zero-shot-classification pipeline like so:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, pipeline
model = "mjwong/gte-multilingual-base-xnli"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model)
classifier = pipeline("zero-shot-classification",
                      model=model,
                      tokenizer=tokenizer,
                      trust_remote_code=True
                      )

You can then use this pipeline to classify sequences into any of the class names you specify.

sequence_to_classify = "one day I will see the world"
candidate_labels = ['travel', 'cooking', 'dancing']
classifier(sequence_to_classify, candidate_labels)

If more than one candidate label can be correct, pass multi_class=True to calculate each class independently:

candidate_labels = ['travel', 'cooking', 'dancing', 'exploration']
classifier(sequence_to_classify, candidate_labels, multi_class=True)

With manual PyTorch

The model can also be applied on NLI tasks like so:

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification

# device = "cuda:0" or "cpu"
device = torch.device("cuda") if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.device("cpu")

model_name = "mjwong/gte-multilingual-base-xnli"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)

premise = "But I thought you'd sworn off coffee."
hypothesis = "I thought that you vowed to drink more coffee."

input = tokenizer(premise, hypothesis, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt")
output = model(input["input_ids"].to(device))
prediction = torch.softmax(output["logits"][0], -1).tolist()
label_names = ["entailment", "neutral", "contradiction"]
prediction = {name: round(float(pred) * 100, 2) for pred, name in zip(prediction, label_names)}
print(prediction)

Eval results

The model was evaluated using the XNLI test sets on 15 languages: English (en), Arabic (ar), Bulgarian (bg), German (de), Greek (el), Spanish (es), French (fr), Hindi (hi), Russian (ru), Swahili (sw), Thai (th), Turkish (tr), Urdu (ur), Vietnam (vi) and Chinese (zh). The metric used is accuracy.

The model was also evaluated using the dev sets for MultiNLI and test sets for ANLI. The metric used is accuracy.
