Chinese Couplet GPT2 Model

Model description

The model is pre-trained by UER-py, which is introduced in this paper. Besides, the model could also be pre-trained by TencentPretrain introduced in this paper, which inherits UER-py to support models with parameters above one billion, and extends it to a multimodal pre-training framework.

The model is used to generate Chinese couplets. You can download the model from the UER-py Modelzoo page, or GPT2-Chinese Github page, or via HuggingFace from the link gpt2-chinese-couplet.

Since the parameter skip_special_tokens is used in the pipelines.py, special tokens such as [SEP], [UNK] will be deleted, the output results of Hosted inference API (right) may not be properly displayed..

How to use

You can use the model directly with a pipeline for text generation:

When the parameter skip_special_tokens is True:

>>> from transformers import BertTokenizer, GPT2LMHeadModel, TextGenerationPipeline
>>> tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("uer/gpt2-chinese-couplet")
>>> model = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained("uer/gpt2-chinese-couplet")
>>> text_generator = TextGenerationPipeline(model, tokenizer)   
>>> text_generator("[CLS]丹 枫 江 冷 人 初 去 -", max_length=25, do_sample=True)
    [{'generated_text': '[CLS]丹 枫 江 冷 人 初 去 - 黄 叶 声 从 天 外 来 阅 旗'}]

When the parameter skip_special_tokens is False:

>>> from transformers import BertTokenizer, GPT2LMHeadModel, TextGenerationPipeline
>>> tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("uer/gpt2-chinese-couplet")
>>> model = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained("uer/gpt2-chinese-couplet")
>>> text_generator = TextGenerationPipeline(model, tokenizer)   
>>> text_generator("[CLS]丹 枫 江 冷 人 初 去 -", max_length=25, do_sample=True)
    [{'generated_text': '[CLS]丹 枫 江 冷 人 初 去 - 黄 叶 声 我 酒 不 辞 [SEP] [SEP] [SEP] [SEP] [SEP] [SEP] [SEP] [SEP] [SEP]'}]

Training data

Training data contains 700,000 Chinese couplets which are collected by couplet-clean-dataset.

Training procedure

The model is pre-trained by UER-py on Tencent Cloud. We pre-train 25,000 steps with a sequence length of 64.

python3 preprocess.py --corpus_path corpora/couplet.txt \
                      --vocab_path models/google_zh_vocab.txt \
                      --dataset_path couplet_dataset.pt --processes_num 16 \
                      --seq_length 64 --data_processor lm 
python3 pretrain.py --dataset_path couplet_dataset.pt \
                    --vocab_path models/google_zh_vocab.txt \
                    --config_path models/gpt2/config.json \
                    --output_model_path models/couplet_gpt2_model.bin \
                    --world_size 8 --gpu_ranks 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 \
                    --total_steps 25000 --save_checkpoint_steps 5000 --report_steps 1000 \
                    --learning_rate 5e-4 --batch_size 64

Finally, we convert the pre-trained model into Huggingface's format:

python3 scripts/convert_gpt2_from_uer_to_huggingface.py --input_model_path models/couplet_gpt2_model.bin-25000 \
                                                        --output_model_path pytorch_model.bin \
                                                        --layers_num 12
