Light Text Classification
Out of the Box Packages > UiPath Language Analysis > LightTextClassification
This is a generic, retrainable model for text classification. It supports all languages based on Latin characters, such as English, French, Spanish, and others. This ML Package must be trained, and if deployed without training first the deployment will fail with an error stating that the model is not trained. This model operates on Bag of Words. This model provides explainability based on n-grams.
JSON with class and confidence (between 0-1).

}This package supports all three types of pipelines (Full Training, Training, and Evaluation). The model uses advanced techniques to find a performant model using hyperparameter search. By default, hyperparameter search (the BOW.hyperparameter_search.enable variable) is enabled. The parameters of the most performant model are available in the Evaluation Report.
Three options are available to structure your dataset for this model : JSON, CSV and AI Center JSON format (this is also the export format of the labelling tool. The model will read all CSV and JSON files in the specified directory. For every format, the model expects two columns or two properties, dataset.input_column_name and dataset.target_column_name by default. The names of these two columns and/or directories are configurable using environment variables.
CSV file format
Each CSV file can have any number of columns, but only two will be used by the model. Those columns are specified by the dataset.input_column_name and dataset.target_column_name parameters.
Check the following sample and environment variables for a CSV file format example.
text, label
I like this movie, 7
I hated the acting, 9text, label
I like this movie, 7
I hated the acting, 9The environment variables for the previous example would be as follows :
- dataset.input_format:
auto - dataset.input_column_name:
text - dataset.target_column_name:
label
JSON file format
Multiple datapoints could be a part of the same JSON file.
Check the following sample and environment variables for a JSON file format example.

- dataset.input_format:
ai_center - dataset.input_column_name:
data.text - dataset.target_column_name:
annotations.intent.choices
- dataset.input_column_name
- The name of the input column containing the text.
- Default value is
data.text. - Make sure that this variable is configured according to your input JSON or CSV file.
- dataset.target_column_name
- The name of the target column containing the text.
- Default value is
annotations.intent.choices. - Make sure that this variable is configured according to your input JSON or CSV file.
- dataset.input_format
- The input format of the training data.
- Default value is
ai_center. - Supported values are:
ai_centerorauto. - If
ai_centeris selected, onlyJSONfiles are supported. Make sure to also change the value of the dataset.target_column_name toannotations.sentiment.choicesifai_centeris selected. - If
autois selected, bothCoNLLandJSONfiles are supported.
- BOW.hyperparameter_search.enable
- The default value for this parameter is
True. If left enabled, this will find the most performant model in the given timeframe and compute resources. - This will also generate a
HyperparameterSearch_reportPDF file to showcase variations of parameters that were tried.
- The default value for this parameter is
- BOW.hyperparameter_search.timeout
- The maximum time the hyperparameter search is allowed to run in seconds.
- Default value is
1800.
- BOW.explain_inference
- When this is set to
True, during inference time when model is served as ML Skill, some of the most important n-grams will also be returned along with the prediction. - Default value is
False.
- When this is set to
Optional variables
True, the optimal values of these variables are searched. For the following optional parameters to be used by the model, please
set the BOW.hyperparameter_search.enable search variable to False:
- BOW.lr_kwargs.class_weight
- Supported values are:
balancedorNone.
- Supported values are:
- BOW.ngram_range
- Range of sequence length of consecutive word sequence that can be considered as features for the model.
- Make sure to follow this format:
(1, x), wherexis the maximum sequence length you want to allow.
- BOW.min_df
- Used to set the minimum number of occurrences of the n-gram in the dataset to be considered as a feature.
