Multiclass Classification for Transactions

For this notebook we will be looking to classify a public dataset of transactions into a number of categories that we have predefined. These approaches should be replicable to any multiclass classification use case where we are trying to fit transactional data into predefined categories, and by the end of running through this you should have a few approaches for dealing with both labelled and unlabelled datasets.

The different approaches we'll be taking in this notebook are:

  • Zero-shot Classification: First we'll do zero shot classification to put transactions in one of five named buckets using only a prompt for guidance
  • Classification with Embeddings: Following this we'll create embeddings on a labelled dataset, and then use a traditional classification model to test their effectiveness at identifying our categories
  • Fine-tuned Classification: Lastly we'll produce a fine-tuned model trained on our labelled dataset to see how this compares to the zero-shot and few-shot classification approaches

Zero-shot Classification

We'll first assess the performance of the base models at classifying these transactions using a simple prompt. We'll provide the model with 5 categories and a catch-all of "Could not classify" for ones that it cannot place.

zero_shot_prompt = '''You are a data expert working for the National Library of Scotland. 
You are analysing all transactions over £25,000 in value and classifying them into one of five categories.
The five categories are Building Improvement, Literature & Archive, Utility Bills, Professional Services and Software/IT.
If you can't tell what it is, say Could not classify
                      
Transaction:
                      
Supplier: SUPPLIER_NAME
Description: DESCRIPTION_TEXT
Value: TRANSACTION_VALUE
                      
The classification is:'''
# Get a test transaction
transaction = transactions.iloc[0]

# Interpolate the values into the prompt
prompt = zero_shot_prompt.replace('SUPPLIER_NAME',transaction['Supplier'])
prompt = prompt.replace('DESCRIPTION_TEXT',transaction['Description'])
prompt = prompt.replace('TRANSACTION_VALUE',str(transaction['Transaction value (£)']))

# Use our completion function to return a prediction
completion_response = request_completion(prompt)
print(completion_response['choices'][0]['text'])
 Building Improvement

Our first attempt is correct, M & J Ballantyne Ltd are a house builder and the work they performed is indeed Building Improvement.

Lets expand the sample size to 25 and see how it performs, again with just a simple prompt to guide it

test_transactions = transactions.iloc[:25]
test_transactions['Classification'] = test_transactions.apply(lambda x: classify_transaction(x,zero_shot_prompt),axis=1)

Initial results are pretty good even with no labelled examples! The ones that it could not classify were tougher cases with few clues as to their topic, but maybe if we clean up the labelled dataset to give more examples we can get better performance.

Classification with Embeddings

Lets create embeddings from the small set that we've classified so far - we've made a set of labelled examples by running the zero-shot classifier on 101 transactions from our dataset and manually correcting the 15 Could not classify results that we got

Create embeddings

This initial section reuses the approach from the Get_embeddings_from_dataset Notebook to create embeddings from a combined field concatenating all of our features

Performance for this model is pretty strong, so creating embeddings and using even a simpler classifier looks like an effective approach as well, with the zero-shot classifier helping us do the initial classification of the unlabelled dataset.

Lets take it one step further and see if a fine-tuned model trained on this same labelled datasets gives us comparable results

Fine-tuned Transaction Classification

For this use case we're going to try to improve on the few-shot classification from above by training a fine-tuned model on the same labelled set of 101 transactions and applying this fine-tuned model on group of unseen transactions

Building Fine-tuned Classifier

We'll need to do some data prep first to get our data ready. This will take the following steps:

  • First we'll list out our classes and replace them with numeric identifiers. Making the model predict a single token rather than multiple consecutive ones like 'Building Improvement' should give us better results
  • We also need to add a common prefix and suffix to each example to aid the model in making predictions - in our case our text is already started with 'Supplier' and we'll add a suffix of '\n\n###\n\n'
  • Lastly we'll aid a leading whitespace onto each of our target classes for classification, again to aid the model

Applying Fine-tuned Classifier

Now we'll apply our classifier to see how it performs. We only had 31 unique observations in our training set and 8 in our validation set, so lets see how the performance is

test_set = pd.read_json('transactions_grouped_prepared_valid.jsonl', lines=True)
test_set.head()

test_set['predicted_class'] = test_set.apply(lambda x: openai.Completion.create(model=fine_tuned_model, prompt=x['prompt'], max_tokens=1, temperature=0, logprobs=5),axis=1)
test_set['pred'] = test_set.apply(lambda x : x['predicted_class']['choices'][0]['text'],axis=1)
test_set['result'] = test_set.apply(lambda x: str(x['pred']).strip() == str(x['completion']).strip(), axis = 1)
test_set['result'].value_counts()
True     4
False    4

Performance is not great - unfortunately this is expected. With only a few examples of each class, the above approach with embeddings and a traditional classifier worked better.

A fine-tuned model works best with a great number of labelled observations. If we had a few hundred or thousand we may get better results, but lets do one last test on a holdout set to confirm that it doesn't generalise well to a new set of observations

Well those results were similarly underwhelming - so we've learned that with a dataset with a small number of labelled observations, either zero-shot classification or traditional classification with embeddings return better results than a fine-tuned model.

A fine-tuned model is still a great tool, but is more effective when you have a larger number of labelled examples for each class that you're looking to classify
