CosineSimilarityClassifier

class CosineSimilarityClassifier(config)

Bases: Classifier

The cosine similarity Classifier uses the cosine similarity to decide which text fragment is closest to which class.

Input - the input field need to be of type list [ float or int ] or numpy.ndarray

Output - the output field is filled with data of type dict { str : float }. The key of the dict is the predicted class name and the value is the cosine distance to the closest reference data point.

Parameters

type (str) – cosine_similarity

Example

{
    "step": "classifier",
    "type": "cosine_similarity",
    "label_field": "label",
    "input_field": "embedded_extract",
    "output_field": "prediction",
}
