clause_classifier.py — Multi-label legal clause classifier.
Supports three backbone models:
- Legal-BERT: nlpaueb/legal-bert-base-uncased
- DeBERTa-v3: microsoft/deberta-v3-base
- Legal-RoBERTa-L: lexlms/legal-roberta-large
All backbones share identical training logic (AsymmetricLoss, AdamW,
linear warmup, early stopping). Model selection and per-class threshold
optimisation are handled by ModelSelector, which evaluates all single
backbones and every 2- and 3-model ensemble combination. Production
inference uses the saved production_config.json for deterministic,
tuning-free deployment.
Usage:
# Train individual backbones
python src/clause_classifier.py --mode train --backbone legalbert
python src/clause_classifier.py --mode train --backbone deberta
python src/clause_classifier.py --mode train --backbone legalroberta
# Select best model / ensemble and optimise thresholds
python src/clause_classifier.py --mode select
# Final evaluation on test set (no tuning)
python src/clause_classifier.py --mode evaluate
# Single-clause prediction
python src/clause_classifier.py --mode predict --text "The Licensor shall..."
