Predictions And Evaluation

Prediction evaluates a trained model on the prepared dataset's test split and writes raw predictions plus task-specific figures.

CLI

Grouped CLI

bertnado predict-and-evaluate \

Python API

Predict from Python

from pathlib import Path

from bertnado.api import predict_and_evaluate

predict_and_evaluate(
    model_dir=Path("output/train/model"),
    dataset_dir=Path("output/dataset"),
    output_dir=Path("output/predictions"),
    task_type="binary_classification",
    tokenizer_name="PoetschLab/GROVER",
)

Inputs

Input	Description
--model-dir	Directory containing the trained model, usually output/train/model.
--dataset-dir	Prepared dataset directory containing the test split.
--tokenizer-name	Tokenizer used to tokenize sequences for prediction.
--output-dir	Directory where predictions and figures are saved.
--task-type	regression, binary_classification, or multilabel_classification.

The model directory must be a local directory containing the saved model files.

What Happens

BertNado:

1. Loads the trained model from --model-dir.
2. Loads the tokenizer from --tokenizer-name.
3. Loads the test split from --dataset-dir.
4. Runs prediction with the Hugging Face Trainer interface.
5. Saves the raw prediction output.
6. Writes task-specific evaluation figures.

Outputs

All tasks save:

Prediction output

output/predictions/
`-- predictions.pkl

predictions.pkl contains the serialized Hugging Face prediction output. Use it when you want to compute custom metrics or inspect logits later.

Binary classification additionally saves:

Binary classification figures

output/predictions/
`-- figures/
    |-- roc_curve.png
    |-- precision_recall_curve.png
    `-- confusion_matrix.png

Other task types write their task-specific metrics and figures when supported.
