Zero-Shot Classification

Zero-shot text classification is super useful to try out classification with zero code, you simply pass a sentence/paragraph and the possible labels for that sentence, and you get a result. The model has not been necessarily trained on the labels you provide, but it can still predict the correct label.

For more details about the zero-shot-classification task, check out its dedicated page! You will find examples and related materials.

API specification

Request

Headers
authorization	string	Authentication header in the form `'Bearer: hf_**'` when `hf_**` is a personal user access token with “Inference Providers” permission. You can generate one from your settings page.

Payload
inputs*	string	The text to classify
parameters*	object
candidate_labels*	string[]	The set of possible class labels to classify the text into.
hypothesis_template	string	The sentence used in conjunction with `candidate_labels` to attempt the text classification by replacing the placeholder with the candidate labels.
multi_label	boolean	Whether multiple candidate labels can be true. If false, the scores are normalized such that the sum of the label likelihoods for each sequence is 1. If true, the labels are considered independent and probabilities are normalized for each candidate.

Response

Body
(array)	object[]	Output is an array of objects.
label	string	The predicted class label.
score	number	The corresponding probability.
