TEXT Open Intent Recognition (TEXTOIR)

TEXTOIR is the first high-quality Text Open Intent Recognition platform. This repo contains a convenient toolkit with extensible interfaces, integrating a series of state-of-the-art algorithms of two tasks (open intent detection and open intent discovery). We also release the pipeline framework and the visualized platform in the repo TEXTOIR-DEMO.

Introduction

TEXTOIR aims to provide a convenience toolkit for researchers to reproduce the related text open classification and clustering methods. It contains two tasks, which are defined as open intent detection and open intent discovery. Open intent detection aims to identify n-class known intents, and detect one-class open intent. Open intent discovery aims to leverage limited prior knowledge of known intents to find fine-grained known and open intent-wise clusters. Related papers and codes are collected in our previous released reading list.

Open Intent Recognition:

We strongly recommend you to use our TEXTOIR toolkit, which has standard and unified interfaces (especially data setting) to obtain fair and persuable results on benchmark intent datasets!

Benchmark Datasets

• BANKING
• OOS / CLINC150 (without OOD samples)

Quick Start

1. Use anaconda to create Python (version >= 3.6) environment

conda create --name textoir python=3.6
conda activate textoir

2. Install PyTorch (Cuda version 11.2)

conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.0 -c pytorch -c conda-forge  

2. Clone the TEXTOIR repository, and choose the task (Take open intent detection as an example).

git clone [email protected]:HanleiZhang/TEXTOIR.git
cd TEXTOIR
cd open_intent_detection

3. Install related environmental dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run examples (Take ADB as an example)

sh examples/run_ADB.sh

Extensibility

This toolkit is extensible and supports adding new methods, datasets, configurations, backbones, dataloaders, losses conveniently. More detailed information can be seen in the directory open_intent_detection and open_intent_discovery respectively.
