NheLPer

NheLPer is Python package designed to ease behavioral testing of Natural Language Processing models to identify possible capability failures.

1. About the project

Behavioral tests are intended to test a model against some input data while treating as a black box. The aim is to observe the model's reaction against some perturbations that might occur once the model is productionized. For a more detailed explanation on behavioral testing of NLP models I encourage you to read the insightful paper: Beyond Accuracy: Behavioral Testing of NLP models with CheckList

NLPtest provides helper objects for three different aspects:

  • easily generate text samples
  • test some specific behaviors of your model
  • aggregate the tests outcomes of your model

2. Getting started

2.1. Installation

You can directly install NheLPer using pypi:

pip3 install nhelper

2.2. Usage

To help you get the hang of the library we provide three different Notebooks to the user, accessible from the examples/ folder:

  1. Samples_generation.ipynb: shows you how to easily generate texts using the Generator object.
  2. Please_Behave.ipynb: getting familiar with the Behavior object.
  3. End2End_tests.ipynb: how to run tests and get an overview of your model behavior.
