How to Build a Zero-Shot Classification Prompt in Python
Creates a prompt for zero-shot text classification by pairing input text with candidate labels and a hypothesis template.
from typing import Dict, List
def build_zero_shot_prompt(
text: str,
candidate_labels: List[str],
hypothesis_template: str = "This is about {}.",
) -> Dict[str, List[str]]:
"""Build a prompt ready for zero-shot classification."""
return {
"sequences": text,
"candidate_labels": can…Build a Mock Random Forest Classifier in Python
Create a simple random-forest-like classifier with random majority voting between trees, including fit, predict, and predict_proba methods.
import random
class MockRandomForest:
def __init__(self, n_trees=10, random_state=42):
self.n_trees = n_trees
self.random_state = random_state
self.classes_ = None
self._class_counts = None
random.seed(random_state)
def fit(self, X, y):
self.classes_ = sorted(…How to Compute a Confusion Matrix in Python
Compute a multi-class confusion matrix from true and predicted labels using pure Python dictionaries and nested lists, then format it for readable output.
from collections import defaultdict
def compute_confusion_matrix(y_true, y_pred, labels):
"""Compute confusion matrix using Python dicts and nested lists."""
label_index = {label: i for i, label in enumerate(labels)}
matrix = [[0] * len(labels) for _ in range(len(labels))]
for true, pred in zip(y…How to Evaluate Accuracy, Precision, and Recall in Python
Compute accuracy, precision, and recall for a binary classification model using scikit-learn's metrics functions.
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score, precision_score, recall_score
if __name__ == "__main__":
y_true = [0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1]
y_pred = [0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1]
accuracy = accuracy_score(y_true, y_pred)
precision = precision_score(y_true, y_pred)
recall = recall_score(y_true, y_pred)
