🏷 What is Autolabel

Access to large, clean and diverse labeled datasets is a critical component for any machine learning effort to be successful. State-of-the-art LLMs like GPT-4 are able to automatically label data with high accuracy, and at a fraction of the cost and time compared to manual labeling.

Autolabel is a Python library to label, clean and enrich text datasets with any Large Language Models (LLM) of your choice.

🚀 Getting started

Autolabel provides a simple 3-step process for labeling data:

  1. Specify the labeling guidelines and LLM model to use in a JSON config.
  2. Dry-run to make sure the final prompt looks good.
  3. Kick off a labeling run for your dataset!

Let's imagine we are building an ML model to analyze sentiment analysis of movie review. We have a dataset of movie reviews that we'd like to get labeled first. For this case, here's what the example dataset and configs will look like:

{
    "task_name": "MovieSentimentReview",
    "task_type": "classification",
    "model": {
        "provider": "openai",
        "name": "gpt-3.5-turbo"
    },
    "dataset": {
        "label_column": "label",
        "delimiter": ","
    },
    "prompt": {
        "task_guidelines": "You are an expert at analyzing the sentiment of movie reviews. Your job is to classify the provided movie review into one of the following labels: {labels}",
        "labels": [
            "positive",
            "negative",
            "neutral",
        ],
        "few_shot_examples": [
            {
                "example": "I got a fairly uninspired stupid film about how human industry is bad for nature.",
                "label": "negative"
            },
            {
                "example": "I loved this movie. I found it very heart warming to see Adam West, Burt Ward, Frank Gorshin, and Julie Newmar together again.",
                "label": "positive"
            },
            {
                "example": "This movie will be played next week at the Chinese theater.",
                "label": "neutral"
            }
        ],
        "example_template": "Input: {example}\nOutput: {label}"
    }
}

Initialize the labeling agent and pass it the config:

from autolabel import LabelingAgent

agent = LabelingAgent(config='config.json')

Preview an example prompt that will be sent to the LLM:

agent.plan('dataset.csv')

This prints:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 100/100 0:00:00 0:00:00
┌──────────────────────────┬─────────┐
│ Total Estimated Cost     │ $0.538  │
│ Number of Examples       │ 200     │
│ Average cost per example │ 0.00269 │
└──────────────────────────┴─────────┘
─────────────────────────────────────────

Prompt Example:
You are an expert at analyzing the sentiment of movie reviews. Your job is to classify the provided movie review into one of the following labels: [positive, negative, neutral]

Some examples with their output answers are provided below:

Example: I got a fairly uninspired stupid film about how human industry is bad for nature.
Output:
negative

Example: I loved this movie. I found it very heart warming to see Adam West, Burt Ward, Frank Gorshin, and Julie Newmar together again.
Output:
positive

Example: This movie will be played next week at the Chinese theater.
Output:
neutral

Now I want you to label the following example:
Input: A rare exception to the rule that great literature makes disappointing films.
Output:

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Finally, we can run the labeling on a subset or entirety of the dataset:

labels, output_df, metrics = agent.run('dataset.csv')

The output dataframe contains the label column:

output_df.head()
                                                text  ... MovieSentimentReview_llm_label
0  I was very excited about seeing this film, ant...  ...                       negative
1  Serum is about a crazy doctor that finds a ser...  ...                       negative
4  I loved this movie. I knew it would be chocked...  ...                       positive
...

Features

  1. Label data for NLP tasks such as classification, question-answering and named entity-recognition, entity matching and more.
  2. Use commercial or open source LLMs from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Google and more.
  3. Support for research-proven LLM techniques to boost label quality, such as few-shot learning and chain-of-thought prompting.
  4. Confidence estimation and explanations out of the box for every single output label
  5. Caching and state management to minimize costs and experimentation time

Access to Refuel hosted LLMs

Refuel provides access to hosted open source LLMs for labeling, and for estimating confidence This is helpful, because you can calibrate a confidence threshold for your labeling task, and then route less confident labels to humans, while you still get the benefits of auto-labeling for the confident examples.

In order to use Refuel hosted LLMs, you can request access here.

🛠️ Roadmap

Our goal is to allow users to label, create or enrich any dataset, with any LLM - easily and quickly.

There are four focus areas for Autolabel for 2023:

  • Tasks: Add support for tasks such as retrieval, attribute enrichment and text generation/writing.
  • LLMs: Add support for more LLMs, especially open source models like Falcon, MPT and Dolly and the ability to plug in your own LLMs.
  • Workflows for experimenting with your datasets more easily: Add support for richer data types (such as PDFs and HTML documents) and the ability to run benchmarking on your data sources.
  • Techniques to improve labeling accuracy: Add support for automatic prompt improvement and tools for better error analysis to iteratively improve LLM performance on different tasks

We will be releasing a more detailed roadmap soon, but we love suggestions and contributions from the community. Chat with the Refuel team and Autolabel community on Discord or open Github issues to report bugs and request features.

🙌 Contributing

Autolabel is a rapidly developing project. We welcome contributions in all forms - bug reports, pull requests and ideas for improving the library.

  1. Join the conversation on Discord
  2. Open an issue on Github for bugs and request features.
  3. Grab an open issue, and submit a pull request.
