# Introduction

Novora Code Classifier v1 Tiny, is a tiny `Text Classification` model, which classifies given code text input under 1 of `31` different classes (programming languages).

This model is designed to be able to run on CPU, but optimally runs on GPUs.

# Info
- 1 of 31 classes output
- 512 token input dimension
- 64 hidden dimensions
- 2 linear layers
- The `snowflake-arctic-embed-xs` model is used as the embeddings model.

# Architecture

The `CodeClassifier-v-Tiny` model employs a neural network architecture optimized for text classification tasks, specifically for classifying programming languages from code snippets. This model includes:

- **Bidirectional LSTM Feature Extractor**: This bidirectional LSTM layer processes input embeddings, effectively capturing contextual relationships in both forward and reverse directions within the code snippets.

- **Adaptive Pooling**: Following the LSTM, adaptive average pooling reduces the feature dimension to a fixed size, accommodating variable-length inputs.

- **Fully Connected Layers**: The network includes two linear layers. The first projects the pooled features into a hidden feature space, and the second linear layer maps these to the output classes, which correspond to different programming languages. A dropout layer with a rate of 0.5 between these layers helps mitigate overfitting.

The model's bidirectional nature and architectural components make it adept at understanding the syntax and structure crucial for code classification.
