40
+
41
+ A small encoder that makes **typed decisions about text in one forward pass**: the options come with the
42
+ request, and what comes back is a probability for each of them. Nothing is generated, nothing is parsed,
43
+ and the same model answers a question it has never seen because the labels are part of the input rather
44
+ than part of the weights.
45
+
46
+ ```python
47
+ from sharada import DecisionModel
48
+
49
+ model = DecisionModel.from_pretrained("LenaBarretta/sharada-base")
50
+
51
+ d = model.decide(
52
+ text="My card still hasn't arrived and I ordered it two weeks ago.",
53
+ question="Which team should handle this?",
54
+ options=["billing", "card delivery", "technical support", "account closure"],
55
+ )
56
+
57
+ d.answer # 'card delivery'
58
+ d.confidence # 0.86
59
+ d.probabilities # {'billing': 0.07, 'card delivery': 0.86, ...}
60
+ ```
61
+
62
+ Three kinds of question are typed, so the model knows what the options mean:
63
+
64
+ | kind | the options are | example |
65
+ | --- | --- | --- |
66
+ | `choice` | unordered labels | which team, which topic, which intent |
67
+ | `scale` | ordered steps | severity 1–5, how positive, how urgent |
68
+ | `binary` | yes or no | is this spam, does this need a human |
69
+
70
+ ```python
71
+ from sharada import Request
72
+
73
+ model.decide_many([
74
+ Request(text=review, question="How positive is this review?",
75
+ options=["very negative", "negative", "neutral", "positive", "very positive"],
76
+ kind="scale", task="review-tone"),
77
+ Request(text=review, question="Does this mention a refund?",
78
+ options=["no", "yes"], kind="binary", task="refund-flag"),
79
+ ])
80
+ ```
81
+
82
+ ## Install
83
+
84
+ ```bash
85
+ pip install git+https://github.com/LenaBarretta/sharada
86
+ ```
87
+
88
+ Python 3.10+, `torch` and `transformers`; CPU is enough to run it.
89
+
90
+ ## Models
91
+
92
+ | model | encoder | parameters | what it is for |
93
+ | --- | --- | --- | --- |
94
+ | `LenaBarretta/sharada-base` | ModernBERT-base | 150M | the default; fine-tune this one |
95
+ | `LenaBarretta/sharada-large` | ModernBERT-large | 400M | a few points better, ~2.5× the time |
96
+
97
+ Accuracy and calibration per label set are in each model card, measured on label sets the model was
98
+ **not** trained on as well as on the ones it was.
99
+
100
+ ## Three things the architecture guarantees
101
+
102
+ The request is laid out as one sequence — text, question, then every option as a parallel branch — and a
103
+ mask decides who may read whom. Both are in [`layout.py`](sharada/layout.py) and
104
+ [`masking.py`](sharada/masking.py), and they buy three properties that hold by construction, not because
105
+ training got them approximately right:
106
+
107
+ 1. **The order of the options cannot matter.** Every option branch starts at the same position id, and
108
+ the encoder's positions are rotary, so no option is earlier or later than another. Reshuffle them and
109
+ the probabilities follow their options exactly.
110
+ 2. **An option's score does not depend on which other options are offered.** An option reads the text,
111
+ the question and itself, nothing else. Drop two options from a list of four and the remaining two keep
112
+ their scores to the last bit — so the probabilities are a renormalisation, and a long list of options
113
+ does not make each one noisier.
114
+ 3. **The text is read once.** Text tokens read only text tokens, so their states do not depend on the
115
+ question. Ten questions about one document are ten cheap read-outs over one encoding of it.
116
+
117
+ These are the tests in [`tests/test_model.py`](tests/test_model.py), checked on an untrained model.
118
+
119
+ ## Fine-tune it on your own labels
120
+
121
+ This is what the package is built around: a few hundred labelled examples and a few minutes.
122
+
123
+ ```python
124
+ from sharada import DecisionModel, Example
125
+
126
+ examples = [
127
+ Example(text="the invoice is wrong again", question="Which team should handle this?",
128
+ options=["billing", "technical", "sales"], label=0, task="routing"),
129
+ ...
130
+ ]
131
+
132
+ model = DecisionModel.from_pretrained("LenaBarretta/sharada-base")
133
+ report = model.fit(examples) # holds out 20%, stops when held-out log loss stops improving
134
+ model.save("my-router")
135
+
136
+ report # Report(820 examples, accuracy 0.914, log loss 0.287, calibration error 0.031)
137
+ ```
138
+
139
+ `fit` keeps a part of the examples out, trains on the rest, early-stops, then fits one temperature per
140
+ task on the held-out part and writes a calibration passport. Useful arguments:
141
+

+ | argument | default | |
143
+ | --- | --- | --- |
144
+ | `loss` | `"cross_entropy"` | `"brier"` scores the whole distribution, not just the right option |
145
+ | `freeze_encoder` | `False` | train the read-out only: seconds, and enough for a few hundred examples |
146
+ | `batch_size`, `lr`, `max_epochs`, `patience` | `16`, `2e-5`, `10`, `2` | |

148
+ Mixing several tasks in one `fit` is the normal case — give each one its own `task` name and each gets
149
+ its own temperature. See [`examples/finetune_your_own.py`](examples/finetune_your_own.py), which trains
150
+ on a CSV.
151
+
152
+ ## The number next to the answer is supposed to be true
153
+
154
+ `0.86` should mean right about 86% of the time. That is a property of a distribution, not of a model, so
155
+ it is fitted and it expires:
156
+
157
+ ```python
158
+ from sharada import check_passport, save_passport
159
+
160
+ passport = model.calibrate(recent_examples) # one temperature per task
161
+ save_passport(passport, "passport.json")
162
+
163
+ check_passport(passport, recent_examples, model)
164
+ # ['the calibration expired on 2026-04-01; fit it again on recent answers',
165
+ # 'routing: the options have changed since the calibration']
166
+ ```
167
+
168
+ `check_passport` returns an empty list when it finds nothing wrong — run it in the deployment pipeline
169
+ and fail the build on anything it returns. `evaluate` gives accuracy, log loss, Brier, expected
170
+ calibration error with a bootstrap interval, a reliability curve and a risk–coverage curve.
171
+
172
+ ## What to do with 0.86
173
+
174
+ A probability is not a decision. `Policy` turns one into the action that costs the least, including
175
+ handing the request to a person:
176
+
177
+ ```python
178
+ from sharada import Policy, escalation_budget
179
+
180
+ policy = Policy(options=["approve", "reject"],
181
+ costs={("fraud", "approve"): 10_000, ("clean", "reject"): 100},
182
+ escalate=30)
183
+
184
+ policy.act({"fraud": 0.1, "clean": 0.9}) # Action('answer', 'reject', expected_loss=90.0)
185
+ policy.act({"fraud": 0.5, "clean": 0.5}) # Action('escalate', ...)
186
+
187
+ # a person can look at 5% of the traffic, no more:
188
+ policy = escalation_budget(policy, probabilities, budget=0.05)
189
+ ```
190
+
191
+ ## Train the base models yourself
192
+
193
+ [`training/`](training) has the whole run: a mix of public label sets in
194
+ [`sources.py`](training/sources.py) — intents, topics, sentiment, toxicity, spam, entailment, review
195
+ scores — each one presented with several question phrasings, shuffled options and sampled option
196
+ subsets, so the model learns to read the options rather than their positions. Some label sets are held
197
+ out of training entirely and only measured, which is where the zero-shot numbers come from.
198
+
199
+ ```bash
200
+ python training/run.py --encoder answerdotai/ModernBERT-base --out runs/base
201
+ ```
202
+
203
+ It checkpoints every few hundred steps and resumes from the checkpoint if it finds one, which is what
204
+ makes it survive a Kaggle session; [`training/kaggle.ipynb`](training/kaggle.ipynb) is the notebook
205
+ wrapper. One free T4: about an hour for base, about three for large.
206
+
207
+ ## What it will not do
208
+
209
+ - **It does not generate.** No free-form answers, no extraction, no reasoning out loud. Options or
210
+ nothing.
211
+ - **256 tokens of text** by default (`Limits`), with 48 for the question and 12 per option. Longer
212
+ documents need chunking or a larger limit, and the limit costs quadratic attention.
213
+ - **English.** The encoder is English-only; a multilingual encoder drops in, but the published
214
+ checkpoints are not trained for it.
215
+ - **It is small.** Where a frontier model knows a fact that is not in the text, it wins. This answers
216
+ questions about the text in front of it.
217
+
218
+ ## Where it came from
219
+
220
+ The design, the experiments behind it and what each training signal did are written up in
221
+ [RLCR from Scratch](https://lenatriestounderstand.com/notes/llm/024-rlcr/), with a runnable lab.
