# Model Card for DistilBERT-ProductClassifier

This is a fine-tuned version of the DistilBERT model, specifically trained for product classification tasks within the e-commerce domain. The model distinguishes between various categories like "CPUs," "Digital Cameras," "Dishwashers," and more, making it useful for organizing and categorizing products in online retail platforms.

## Model Details

### Model Description

The DistilBERT-ProductClassifier model is trained on an e-commerce dataset to classify products into specific categories. It is optimized for efficient text classification tasks and is designed to work well with limited computational resources. This model leverages the compact DistilBERT architecture, making it suitable for real-time applications, including mobile and web environments.

- **Developed by:** Adnan AI Labs
- **Model type:** DistilBERT fine-tuned for text classification
- **Language:** English
- **License:** Apache 2.0
- **Finetuned from model:** [DistilBERT](https://huggingface.co/distilbert-base-uncased)

## Model Sources

- **Repository:** [Adnan-AI-Labs/DistilBERT-ProductClassifier](https://huggingface.co/Adnan-AI-Labs/DistilBERT-ProductClassifier)

## Uses

### Direct Use

The model is intended for classifying products in text-based product listings for e-commerce platforms. Users can use this model to categorize products automatically, reducing the need for manual tagging and improving product discoverability.

### Out-of-Scope Use

This model should not be used for tasks unrelated to product classification or outside the e-commerce context. It is not designed for sentiment analysis, general text generation, or other unrelated NLP tasks.

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

The model was trained on e-commerce data and may not perform well on products or categories outside the provided training scope. Additionally, some categories may have less representation in the training data, potentially affecting classification accuracy for those classes.

### Recommendations

For use cases involving other languages or highly specialized product categories not included in the training data, further fine-tuning may be necessary. Users should validate the model's output before using it for high-stakes decisions.

## How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model for product classification:

```python
import torch
from transformers import DistilBertTokenizer, DistilBertForSequenceClassification

# Define the model repository name
model_name = "Adnan-AI-Labs/DistilBERT-ProductClassifier"

# Load the tokenizer and model from the Hugging Face Hub
try:
    # Load tokenizer
    tokenizer = DistilBertTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, use_fast=True)

    # Load model, forcing the download to avoid any cached version
    model = DistilBertForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)

    print("Model and tokenizer loaded successfully.")

except Exception as e:
    print(f"An error occurred while loading the model: {e}")
    exit()

# Test the model with some sample inputs
sample_texts = [
    "estar s20 single uk sim free mobile phone red",
    "cello c40227dvbt2 40 full hd black led tv",
]

# Prepare the inputs for the model
inputs = tokenizer(sample_texts, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt")

# Make predictions
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)

# Get the predicted class indices
predictions = torch.argmax(outputs.logits, dim=1)

# Print out the predictions
for text, pred in zip(sample_texts, predictions):
    print(f"Text: {text} \nPredicted Class: {pred.item()}\n")

```

# Training Details
## Training Data
The model was trained on an e-commerce dataset that includes various product categories such as CPUs, Digital Cameras, Dishwashers, Fridge Freezers, Microwaves, Mobile Phones, TVs, and Washing Machines. The data was preprocessed by removing duplicates, lowercasing, and tokenizing text.

## Training Procedure
 1. Preprocessing: Text data was cleaned, lowercased, and tokenized. Product descriptions were truncated to 128 tokens for uniformity.
 2. Hyperparameters: Fine-tuning was conducted with a learning rate of 2e-5 and batch size of 16 for 3 epochs.
 3. Training Hardware: The model was trained on a single NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPU for approximately 3 hours.

## Evaluation
Testing Data, Factors & Metrics
The model was evaluated on a separate test set of product descriptions, using precision, recall, and F1-score as the evaluation metrics.

## Summary
The model achieved an overall accuracy of 96.16%, with strong performance across multiple product categories. The F1-scores indicate that the model performs particularly well in the "CPUs" and "Digital Cameras" categories.

## Technical Specifications
Model Architecture and Objective
The DistilBERT-ProductClassifier model utilizes the DistilBERT architecture, fine-tuned with a text classification head for e-commerce product categorization tasks.

## Compute Infrastructure
The model is optimized to run efficiently on CPUs and small GPUs, making it suitable for real-time applications.

## Hardware
This model requires a minimum of 4GB of RAM for efficient inference, and a modern CPU or basic GPU is recommended.

## Software
Transformers library: v4.26.0
Python version: 3.8 or higher
CUDA [optional]: 10.2 or higher (if running on GPU)
