## 🧠 AI Model Architecture
### Primary: SetFit Model
```python
# Model Architecture
SetFitModel(
sentence_transformer="sentence-transformers/paraphrase-mpnet-base-v2",
classification_head="torch.nn.Linear",
few_shot_examples=8-16 per intent,
training_method="contrastive_learning + fine_tuning"
)
# Performance Characteristics
- Model Size: ~100MB
- Inference Time: 20-50ms
- Memory Usage: ~200MB
- Accuracy: 92-95%
```
### Fallback: Sentence-BERT Similarity
```python
# Similarity-based Classification
SentenceBERT(
model="all-MiniLM-L6-v2",
method="cosine_similarity",
threshold=0.7,
examples_per_intent=5-10
)
# Performance Characteristics
- Model Size: ~80MB
- Inference Time: 10-20ms
- Memory Usage: ~150MB
- Accuracy: 85-90%
```
## 🔄 Processing Flow
### 1. Input Processing
```python
def preprocess_query(query: str) -> str:
"""
Normalize user input for consistent processing
"""
# Text normalization
query = query.lower().strip()
# Remove special characters (keep alphanumeric and spaces)
query = re.sub(r'[^\w\s]', ' ', query)
# Normalize whitespace
query = ' '.join(query.split())
# Handle common abbreviations
query = expand_abbreviations(query)
return query
```
### 2. Cache Layer
```python
class IntentCache:
"""
Redis-based caching for frequent queries
"""
def __init__(self):
self.redis = Redis(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0)
self.ttl = 3600 # 1 hour
def get(self, query: str) -> Optional[IntentResult]:
cache_key = self._generate_key(query)
cached = self.redis.get(cache_key)
if cached:
return IntentResult.from_json(cached)
return None
def set(self, query: str, result: IntentResult):
cache_key = self._generate_key(query)
self.redis.setex(cache_key, self.ttl, result.to_json())
```
### 3. AI Classification
```python
class SetFitClassifier:
"""
Primary AI-based intent classification
"""
def __init__(self, model_path: str):
self.model = SetFitModel.from_pretrained(model_path)
self.label_mapping = {
0: "inventory_inquiry",
1: "sales_inquiry",
2: "customer_inquiry",
3: "order_inquiry",
4: "analytics_inquiry",
5: "greeting",
6: "general_conversation"
}
def classify(self, query: str) -> Tuple[str, float]:
# Get prediction probabilities
probs = self.model.predict_proba([query])[0]
# Get highest confidence prediction
predicted_label = np.argmax(probs)
confidence = float(probs[predicted_label])
intent = self.label_mapping[predicted_label]
return intent, confidence
```
### 4. Confidence Validation
```python
class ConfidenceValidator:
"""
Validates classification confidence and routes accordingly
"""
CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLDS = {
"high": 0.8, # Use result directly
"medium": 0.5, # Use with caution flag
"low": 0.3 # Fallback to similarity matching
}
def validate(self, intent: str, confidence: float) -> ValidationResult:
if confidence >= self.CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLDS["high"]:
return ValidationResult(intent, confidence, "accepted")
elif confidence >= self.CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLDS["medium"]:
return ValidationResult(intent, confidence, "uncertain")
else:
return ValidationResult(intent, confidence, "rejected")
```
## 🎯 Intent Taxonomy
### Core Business Intents
```python
BUSINESS_INTENTS = {
"inventory_inquiry": {
"description": "Product listing, stock status, catalog queries",
"examples": [
"show me products",
"what's in stock",
"product catalog",
"five products list"
],
"tools": ["get_inventory_status", "get_product_analytics"]
},
"sales_inquiry": {
"description": "Revenue, sales performance, earnings data",
"examples": [
"what's my revenue",
"sales data",
"how much did I sell"
],
"tools": ["get_sales_data", "get_revenue_report"]
},
"customer_inquiry": {
"description": "Customer data, buyer insights, demographics",
"examples": [
"top customers",
"customer analytics",
"buyer information"
],
"tools": ["get_customer_info"]
},
"order_inquiry": {
"description": "Order status, fulfillment, purchase history",
"examples": [
"recent orders",
"order status",
"pending shipments"
],
"tools": ["get_order_details"]
},
"analytics_inquiry": {
"description": "Business insights, trends, performance analysis",
"examples": [
"analyze trends",
"business insights",
"performance metrics"
],
"tools": ["get_product_analytics", "get_revenue_report"]
}
}
META_INTENTS = {
"greeting": {
"description": "Hello, welcome, social pleasantries",
"tools": []
},
"general_conversation": {
"description": "Thanks, help requests, system questions",
"tools": []
},
"out_of_scope": {
"description": "Non-business queries, unrelated topics",
"tools": []
}
}
```
## 🔧 System Integration
### Integration with Query Processor
```python
class QueryProcessor:
def __init__(self):
self.intent_classifier = ProductionIntentClassifier()
self.tool_registry = MongoDBToolRegistry()
async def process_query(self, query: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
# Step 1: Classify intent (NEW AI-based)
intent_result = self.intent_classifier.classify(query)
# Step 2: Select tools based on intent
tool_calls = self._select_tools_by_intent(intent_result.intent, query)
# Step 3: Execute tools
tool_results = await self._execute_tools(tool_calls)
# Step 4: Generate response
response = self._generate_response(query, intent_result, tool_results)
return response
```
### Tool Selection Mapping
```python
INTENT_TO_TOOLS = {
"inventory_inquiry": ["get_inventory_status"],
"sales_inquiry": ["get_sales_data"],
"customer_inquiry": ["get_customer_info"],
"order_inquiry": ["get_order_details"],
"analytics_inquiry": ["get_product_analytics", "get_revenue_report"],
"greeting": [],
"general_conversation": []
}
```

## 🔄 Fallback Strategy
### Multi-Layer Fallback
```python
def classify_with_fallback(query: str) -> IntentResult:
try:
# Layer 1: SetFit Model
intent, confidence = setfit_classifier.classify(query)
if confidence > 0.8:
return IntentResult(intent, confidence, "setfit")
except Exception as e:
logger.warning(f"SetFit failed: {e}")
try:
# Layer 2: Sentence-BERT Similarity
intent, confidence = similarity_classifier.classify(query)
if confidence > 0.7:
return IntentResult(intent, confidence, "similarity")
except Exception as e:
logger.warning(f"Similarity classifier failed: {e}")
# Layer 3: Regex Fallback (existing patterns)
intent = regex_classifier.classify(query)
return IntentResult(intent, 0.5, "regex")
```
## 🎯 Scalability Considerations
### Horizontal Scaling
- **Model Serving**: Multiple model instances behind load balancer
- **Cache Scaling**: Redis cluster for distributed caching
- **Async Processing**: Non-blocking classification pipeline
### Performance Optimization
- **Model Quantization**: Reduce model size by 50% with minimal accuracy loss
- **Batch Processing**: Process multiple queries simultaneously
- **GPU Acceleration**: Optional GPU inference for higher throughput
