How to use the model

With the zero-shot classification pipeline

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

python

from transformers import pipeline
classifier = pipeline("zero-shot-classification",
                      model="mjwong/contriever-msmarco-mnli")

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

python

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:

python

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:

python

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/contriever-msmarco-mnli"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)

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 dev sets for MultiNLI and test sets for ANLI. The metric used is accuracy.
