# DistilBERT Command Classifier

A fine-tuned DistilBERT model for classifying user commands and questions with high accuracy, including handling of typos and variations.

## Model Details

### Model Description

This model is a fine-tuned version of `distilbert-base-uncased` specifically trained to classify various command types from user input. It's designed to handle natural language commands with typos, variations in phrasing, and different command intents.

- **Developed by:** jhonacmarvik
- **Model type:** Text Classification (Sequence Classification)
- **Language(s):** English
- **License:** Apache 2.0
- **Finetuned from model:** distilbert-base-uncased

### Model Sources

- **Base Model:** [distilbert-base-uncased](https://huggingface.co/distilbert-base-uncased)
- **Framework:** PyTorch + Transformers

## Uses

### Direct Use

This model can be directly used for:
- **Command intent classification** - Identify what action the user wants to perform
- **Voice assistant routing** - Route commands to appropriate handlers
- **Natural language interface control** - Control systems through natural language
- **Question vs Command detection** - Distinguish between questions and actionable commands

### Example Usage

```python
from transformers import pipeline

# Load the classifier
classifier = pipeline(
    "text-classification",
    model="jhonacmarvik/distilbert-command-classifier",
    top_k=3
)

# Single prediction
result = classifier("Turn on all work lights")
print(result)
# Output: [
#   {'label': 'turn_on_lights', 'score': 0.9234},
#   {'label': 'increase_brightness', 'score': 0.0543},
#   {'label': 'turn_off_lights', 'score': 0.0123}
# ]

# Batch prediction
commands = [
    "Turn on all work lights",
    "Decrease the brightness",
    "What's the temperature?"
]
results = classifier(commands)
```

### Alternative Usage (Manual)

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(
    "jhonacmarvik/distilbert-command-classifier"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    "jhonacmarvik/distilbert-command-classifier"
)

device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
model.to(device)
model.eval()

# Tokenize
text = "Turn on all work lights"
tokens = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True)
tokens = {k: v.to(device) for k, v in tokens.items()}

# Predict
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**tokens)
    probs = torch.softmax(outputs.logits, dim=-1)
    predicted_class = torch.argmax(probs, dim=-1)
    
print(f"Predicted: {model.config.id2label[predicted_class.item()]}")
print(f"Confidence: {probs[0][predicted_class].item():.4f}")
```

### Downstream Use

Can be integrated into:
- Smart home systems
- Voice assistants
- Chatbots and conversational AI
- IoT device control interfaces
- Natural language command parsers

### Out-of-Scope Use

This model is NOT suitable for:
- Commands outside its training vocabulary
- Languages other than English
- Sentiment analysis or emotion detection
- General text classification tasks unrelated to commands
- Safety-critical applications without human oversight

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

- **Vocabulary Limitation:** Model is trained on specific command types and may not generalize to completely novel command categories
- **Typo Handling:** While trained on variations with typos, extreme misspellings may reduce accuracy
- **Context Awareness:** Model processes single utterances and doesn't maintain conversation context
- **Language:** Only supports English language commands

### Recommendations

- Implement confidence thresholds (e.g., > 0.7) before executing commands
- Provide fallback mechanisms for low-confidence predictions
- Add human-in-the-loop for critical operations
- Monitor model performance on production data and retrain periodically
- Test thoroughly with your specific use case before deployment

## Training Details

### Training Data

- **Dataset:** Custom dataset of command variations with intentional typos and paraphrases
- **Size:** Multiple variations per command class

    def __init__(self):

        self.device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
        
        self.tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
        self.model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_path)
        self.model.to(self.device)
        self.model.eval()
    
    def predict(self, text: str, top_k: int = 3):
        tokens = self.tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True)
        tokens = {k: v.to(self.device) for k, v in tokens.items()}
        
        with torch.no_grad():
            logits = self.model(**tokens).logits
            probs = torch.softmax(logits, dim=-1)
            top_probs, top_indices = torch.topk(probs, k=top_k)
        
        results = []
        for prob, idx in zip(top_probs[0], top_indices[0]):
            results.append({
                "label": self.model.config.id2label[idx.item()],
                "score": float(prob.item())
            })
        return results
