Abstract
This paper introduces DeepPavlov 1.1, a new version of an open-source library for natural language processing (NLP). DeepPavlov 1.1 supports both traditional NLP tasks (like named entity recognition, sentiment classification) and new tasks needed to enhance LLMs truthfulness and reliability. These tools include: a hallucination detection model, an evergreen question classifier, and a toxicity classifier. The library is easy to use, flexible, and works with many languages. It is designed to help researchers and developers build better, safer AI systems that use language. It is publicly available under the Apache 2.0 license and includes access to an interactive online demo.
