+
+    Task
+    ----
+    One Class Classification (OCC) tries to identify objects of a specific class amongst all objects, in contrast to
+    distinguishing between two or more classes.
+
+    Example:
+    -------
+    The model expects to be trained on a dataset in which every element has the same label_value, e.g. movie reviews
+    with the label POSITIVE.
+    During inference, one of two label_values will be added:
+    - In-class (e.g. another movie review) -> label_value="POSITIVE"
+    - Anything else (e.g. a wiki page)     -> label_value="<unk>"
+
+    Architecture
+    ------------
+    Reconstruction with autoencoder. The score is the reconstruction error from compressing and decompressing the
+    document embedding. A LOWER score indicates a HIGHER probability of being in-class. The threshold is
+    calculated as a high percentile of the score distribution of in-class elements from the dev set.
+
+    You must set the threshold after training by running `model.threshold = model.calculate_threshold(corpus.dev)`.
