🏷️ Labels: BERT, Elasticsearch, Text Classification, Openai Api, Error Handling
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The primary goal of this session was to integrate a BERT-based text classification model with Elasticsearch and improve the robustness of a URL classification system using OpenAI’s API.

Key Activities

  • BERT and Elasticsearch Integration: Detailed steps were provided to train a BERT model, set up Elasticsearch, ingest classified data, and perform searches and analytics.
  • Knowledge Web Workflow: A comprehensive workflow was outlined for creating a knowledge web from URLs, including data collection, processing, entity recognition, categorization, indexing, and visualization.
  • AI Agent for Dataset Labeling: Implemented an AI agent using GPT-4 for generating labels for URLs, which were used to fine-tune a BERT model.
  • URL Classification with OpenAI API: Developed a Python implementation for classifying URLs using the OpenAI API, involving the URLClassifier class and its methods.
  • Error Handling Enhancements: Addressed errors in the URLClassifier class, including argument errors and handling of null values in input data.
  • HTML Cleaning with BeautifulSoup: Enhanced the clean_html function to improve text extraction quality, which was applied to URL classification.
  • Entity Recognition with spaCy: Improved entity recognition processes using spaCy, including filtering irrelevant HTML content.

Achievements

  • Successfully integrated BERT with Elasticsearch for text classification.
  • Developed a robust workflow for URL classification using OpenAI’s API.
  • Enhanced error handling and robustness in the URL classification system.
  • Improved HTML content cleaning and entity recognition processes.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing and validation of the integrated systems.
  • Optimization of the BERT model for specific use cases.
  • Exploration of additional enhancements for entity recognition.
