AutoIntent documentation#

AutoIntent is an open source tool for automatic configuration of text classification pipelines, with specialized support for intent prediction.

Note

This project is under active development.

The task of intent detection is one of the main subtasks in creating task-oriented dialogue systems, along with scriptwriting and slot filling. While AutoIntent is particularly well-suited for intent detection, it can be applied to any text classification problem, including sentiment analysis, topic classification, document categorization, and other NLP tasks.

AutoIntent project offers users the following:

  • A convenient library of methods for intent classification that can be used in a sklearn-like “fit-predict” format.

  • An AutoML approach to creating classifiers, where the only thing needed is to upload a set of labeled data.

Example of building an intent classifier in a couple of lines of code:

from autointent import Pipeline, Dataset

dataset = Dataset.from_json(path_to_json)
pipeline = Pipeline.from_preset("classic-light")
pipeline.fit(dataset)
pipeline.predict(["show me my latest recent transactions"])
