Character-Based Deep Convolutional Models

Below are a range of character-based deep convolutional neural networks that are free, even for commercial use in your applications. These models have been trained over various corpuses, from sentiment analysis in many languages to advertizing link classification from just reading a URL. They should accomodate a range of applications. Training your own models is made easy too and can lead to even more avenues. Tips and tricks for training are included at the bottom of this page.

These new models read text at character-level, and have very nice properties:

They don’t break textual content into words, and thus do not require any specific parsing

Character-based models find patterns within the character streams and thus do not suffer from having a limited vocabulary : they are especially attractive for user-generated content with typos and new vocabulary , as well as for a set of novel tasks such as replacing regex rules for ad blocking purposes

: they are especially , as well as for a set of novel tasks such as replacing regex rules for ad blocking purposes Models are very compact , i.e. 9.1MB for a typical sentiment or URL classification task trained over several millions of samples

, beating bag-of-words (BOW) models on large datasets Models can be finetuned from a task A with large corpus to a more targeted task B with smaller corpus

On the other side, these convolutional models:

Take often longer to train than BOW models

Require large datasets, from several thousands, up to millions of samples

In addition to the directly usable models, this page contains information and results from experiments on character-based models.

Character-based Models

Character-based models supported by DeepDetect are of the kind recently introduced by the Character-level Convolutional Networks for Text Classification and Text Understanding from Scratch papers. These are great papers by Zhang, Zhao and LeCun, sharing all the practical details required to reproduce and benefit from research work, this needs to be emphasized!

These new models are a paradigm change for a series of tasks. For this reason DeepDetect now supports training and using such character-based models directly from the API and in a fully Open Source manner. All instructions on how to train and use the models are below.

Parameters

There are basically three important parameters to the character-based nets:

sequence length : this is the fixed size of the character stream that represents every training (and testing/prediction) sample. Below we vary it from 50 to above 1000, depending on the data. The length of the sequence directly affects the required memory and computations required to train a model. Once the length has been specified, the model reads characters backwards from the end of the submitted text piece, and any character beyond the length is thrown away.

The length of the sequence directly affects the required memory and computations required to train a model. Once the length has been specified, the model reads characters backwards from the end of the submitted text piece, and any character beyond the length is thrown away. alphabet : this is the alphabet outside of which characters are considered as whitepace (and vectors of zeros). The size of the alphabet has no great incidence on the memory and computation requirements.

: this is the alphabet outside of which characters are considered as whitepace (and vectors of zeros). The size of the alphabet has no great incidence on the memory and computation requirements. convolutions: the shape and structure of the network can vary. Deepdetect supports convolutional network templates, and here the network shape of reference is that of the original papers, "layers":["1CR256", "1CR256", "4CR256", "1024", "1024"] , which means two 256 features convolutions, relu and pooling, followed by four convolutions then relu and pooling, and finalized by two 1024 fully connected layers. See the neural network templates API for more details.

Experiments

Literature

Two of the examples reported in the research papers above are replicated with DeepDetect, using the Agnews and DBPedia datasets. The datasets have been arranged in repositories and available for download below so that others can replicate and learn from them:

AGNews number of classes: 4 alphabet: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789,;.!?:’\“/\|_@#$%^&*~`+-=<>()[]{} dataset size: 128K accuracy: 85% dataset download: agnews_data.tar.bz2

DBPedia number of classes: 14 alphabet: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789,;.!?:’\“/\|_@#$%^&*~`+-=<>()[]{} dataset size: 630K accuracy: 97% dataset download: dbpedia_data.tar.bz2



Results above are from random splits about the size of the test data reported in the paper. For the record, on the aclimdb dataset, a slightly simpler network reports around 86% accuracy.

Customers

On two customer datasets subjected to user typos and free form writing, we obtain similar or better performances than with BOW or adaboost + random forests, with the gain in the ability to query any word.

No more unknown words

Here is an example testing good and gooooooood with the sent_en_char English sentiment model available below in the page:

curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8080/predict' -d '{ "service":"sent_en", "parameters":{ "mllib":{ "gpu":true } }, "data":["that s good"] }'

{ "status":{ "code":200, "msg":"OK" }, "head":{ "method":"/predict", "time":105.0, "service":"sent_en" }, "body":{ "predictions":{ "uri":"0", "classes":{ "prob":0.8447127342224121, "last":true, "cat":"positive" } } } }

Sentence that s good is positive, gooood.

curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8080/predict' -d '{ "service":"sent_en", "parameters":{ "mllib":{ "gpu":true } }, "data":["that s gooooooood"] }'

{ "status":{ "code":200, "msg":"OK" }, "head":{ "method":"/predict", "time":103.0, "service":"sent_en" }, "body":{ "predictions":{ "uri":"0", "classes":{ "prob":0.8044580221176148, "last":true, "cat":"positive" } } } }

Sentence that s gooooooood is also positive, that’s better!

Novel task

Using the url_ads_mini model given below, URL can be tested for ad blocking purpose:

Testing www.deepdetect.com

curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8080/predict' -d '{ "service":"urlads", "parameters":{ "mllib":{ "gpu":true } }, "data":["www.deepdetect.com"] }'

{ "status":{ "code":200, "msg":"OK" }, "head":{ "method":"/predict", "time":143.0,"service": "urlads" }, "body":{ "predictions":{ "uri":"0", "classes":{ "prob":0.9565762281417847, "last":true, "cat":"other" } } } }

Predicted category is other , we’re safe.

curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8080/predict' -d '{ "service":"urlads", "parameters":{ "mllib":{ "gpu":true } }, "data":["ads2.opensubtitles.org/1/www/delivery/ck.php?oaparams=2__bannerid=1__zoneid=3__cb=df11239894__oadest=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opensubtitles.org%2Faddons%2Fa.php%3Fweblang%3Den%26file%3DWeeds%20Bash"] }'

{ "status":{ "code":200, "msg":"OK" }, "head":{ "method":"/predict", "time":105.0, "service":"urlads" }, "body":{ "predictions":{ "uri":"0", "classes":{ "prob":0.5866389870643616, "last":true, "cat":"ads" } } } }

OK, predicted category is ads (here in fact the model only used the 150 last characters to make its decision)

Notes on the provided models

The models are very good for building and testing an application pipeline that includes one or more deep neural networks. However, the models should not be considered suited for many high accuracy production tasks. This is because most models are rough in the sense that the average accuracy can be low for some sentiment tasks typically.

The models are free, even for commercial use . The training sets can unfortunately not be shared publicly. If you need datasets or help with the building on your own datasets, contact us.

These models are intended to primarily be used with DeepDetect which relies on Caffe but can be converted. They can be used with Caffe alone, but you will need to build your own feeding and text quantization pipeline. If you’re using TensorFlow, see how to convert Caffe models to Tensorflow, and similar conversion for Torch.

Not finding what you need or assistance needed ? Let us know or report difficulties, our pipeline is automated, and some models can be easily built.

What applications are these models good for ?

These models are good for text classification and URL qualification for instance. They are especially useful for building and testing an application pipeline. Typically:

Build up an application that uses one or more deep models Test the application on your production data The application can then be made more accurate by either finetuning the deep model or building a new more accurate one. You can do that or ask us for assistance, as needed.

As an example of applications, see how easy it is to build an image search engine with ElasticSearch, the same can be done with these text classifiers.

Requirements

Works best on GPU but fine on multi-core CPU as well. DeepDetect is supported on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS but builds on other Linux flavors.

Model Usage

Below are instructions for setting up a classification service for a given model from command line and from python client. Importantly:

The number of classes nclasses needs to be specified at service creation. This is model-dependent, and the number of classes can be obtained from the list below or the model.json file included in the model tarball

The service name is for you to set, below examples use the sent_en_char model and the service is named sent_en

A batch of multiple text entries can be passed over at once to the server for classification.

Steps for setting up a model service:

Select & download a model tarball Uncompress in the repository of your choice, e.g. /home/me/models/sent_en_char Build and run dede, should take 5 minutes on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Use the code samples below to build your classification pipeline See the API for more details on the various parameters and options

Shell

Service creation:

curl -X PUT 'http://localhost:8080/services/sent_en' -d '{ "mllib":"caffe", "description":"English sentiment classification", "type":"supervised", "parameters":{ "input":{ "connector":"txt", "characters":true, "alphabet":"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789,;.!?'\''", "sequence":140 }, "mllib":{ "nclasses":2 } }, "model":{ "repository":"/home/me/models/sent_en_char" } }'

Classification of a piece of text (a file can also be provided):

curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8080/predict' -d '{ "service":"sent_en", "parameters":{ "mllib":{ "gpu":true } }, "data":["Chilling in the West Indies"] }'

Python

Service creation:

from dd_client import DD model_repo = ' /home/me/models/sent_en_char ' nclasses = 2 # setting up DD client host = ' 127.0.0.1 ' sname = ' sent_en ' description = ' English sentiment classification ' mllib = ' caffe ' dd = DD(host) dd . set_return_format(dd . RETURN_PYTHON) # creating ML service model = { ' repository ' :model_repo} parameters_input = { ' connector ' : ' txt ' , ' characters ' :True, ' sequence ' : 140 , ' alphabet ' : " abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789,;.!? ' " } parameters_mllib = { ' nclasses ' :nclasses} parameters_output = {} dd . put_service(sname,model,description,mllib, parameters_input,parameters_mllib,parameters_output)

Classifying a single piece of text:

parameters_input = {} parameters_mllib = {} parameters_output = {} data = [ ' Chilling in the West Indies ' ] classif = dd . post_predict(sname,data,parameters_input,parameters_mllib,parameters_output) print classif

Results

The output naturally comes in JSON form:

{ "status":{ "code":200, "msg":"OK" }, "head":{ "method":"/predict", "time":104.0, "service":"sent_en" }, "body":{ "predictions":{ "uri":"0", "classes":{ "prob":0.702814519405365, "last":true, "cat":"positive" } } } }

DeepDetect supports turning the JSON output into any custom format through output templates . See the example on how to push results into ElasticSearch without glue code.

Character-Based Model Training

Below is a sample script used for training the models above, along with the full API, this allows to train a wide range of models with little effort.

The textual input dataset can come in two forms:

a repository with a sub-repository per class, in which each training sample comes as a file;

a repository with a sub-repository per class, in which one or more files contain one sample per line. In this particular case, the parameter sentences:true needs to be passed to the input connector parameters at training time. # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import sys , os , time , argparse from dd_client import DD parser = argparse .

Example

To reproduce the original paper’s results on the AGNews corpus:

python train_simple.py --model-repo /path/to/models/agnews/ --training-repo /path/to/agnews_data/ --sname agnews --tsplit 0.1 --base-lr 0.01 --sequence 1014 --iterations 150000 --test-interval 1000 --nclasses 4

This should take a few hours, the script reports training loss and various accuracy measures every 10 seconds.
