# DeBERTa-v3-large-mnli-fever-anli-ling-wanli
## Model description
This model was fine-tuned on the [MultiNLI](https://huggingface.co/datasets/multi_nli), [Fever-NLI](https://github.com/easonnie/combine-FEVER-NSMN/blob/master/other_resources/nli_fever.md), Adversarial-NLI ([ANLI](https://huggingface.co/datasets/anli)), [LingNLI](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.07179.pdf) and [WANLI](https://huggingface.co/datasets/alisawuffles/WANLI) datasets, which comprise 885 242 NLI hypothesis-premise pairs. This model is the best performing NLI model on the Hugging Face Hub as of 06.06.22 and can be used for zero-shot classification. It significantly outperforms all other large models on the [ANLI benchmark](https://github.com/facebookresearch/anli).
The foundation model is [DeBERTa-v3-large from Microsoft](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/deberta-v3-large). DeBERTa-v3 combines several recent innovations compared to classical Masked Language Models like BERT, RoBERTa etc., see the [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.09543)
### How to use the model
#### Simple zero-shot classification pipeline
```python
from transformers import pipeline
classifier = pipeline("zero-shot-classification", model="MoritzLaurer/DeBERTa-v3-large-mnli-fever-anli-ling-wanli")
sequence_to_classify = "Angela Merkel is a politician in Germany and leader of the CDU"
candidate_labels = ["politics", "economy", "entertainment", "environment"]
output = classifier(sequence_to_classify, candidate_labels, multi_label=False)
print(output)
```
#### NLI use-case
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
import torch
device = torch.device("cuda") if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.device("cpu")
model_name = "MoritzLaurer/DeBERTa-v3-large-mnli-fever-anli-ling-wanli"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
premise = "I first thought that I liked the movie, but upon second thought it was actually disappointing."
hypothesis = "The movie was not good."
input = tokenizer(premise, hypothesis, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt")
output = model(input["input_ids"].to(device)) # device = "cuda:0" or "cpu"
prediction = torch.softmax(output["logits"][0], -1).tolist()
label_names = ["entailment", "neutral", "contradiction"]
prediction = {name: round(float(pred) * 100, 1) for pred, name in zip(prediction, label_names)}
print(prediction)
```
### Training data
DeBERTa-v3-large-mnli-fever-anli-ling-wanli was trained on the [MultiNLI](https://huggingface.co/datasets/multi_nli), [Fever-NLI](https://github.com/easonnie/combine-FEVER-NSMN/blob/master/other_resources/nli_fever.md), Adversarial-NLI ([ANLI](https://huggingface.co/datasets/anli)), [LingNLI](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.07179.pdf) and [WANLI](https://huggingface.co/datasets/alisawuffles/WANLI) datasets, which comprise 885 242 NLI hypothesis-premise pairs. Note that [SNLI](https://huggingface.co/datasets/snli) was explicitly excluded due to quality issues with the dataset. More data does not necessarily make for better NLI models.
### Training procedure
DeBERTa-v3-large-mnli-fever-anli-ling-wanli was trained using the Hugging Face trainer with the following hyperparameters. Note that longer training with more epochs hurt performance in my tests (overfitting).
```
training_args = TrainingArguments(
num_train_epochs=4, # total number of training epochs
learning_rate=5e-06,
per_device_train_batch_size=16, # batch size per device during training
gradient_accumulation_steps=2, # doubles the effective batch_size to 32, while decreasing memory requirements
per_device_eval_batch_size=64, # batch size for evaluation
warmup_ratio=0.06, # number of warmup steps for learning rate scheduler
weight_decay=0.01, # strength of weight decay
fp16=True # mixed precision training
)
```
### Eval results
The model was evaluated using the test sets for MultiNLI, ANLI, LingNLI, WANLI and the dev set for Fever-NLI. The metric used is accuracy.
The model achieves state-of-the-art performance on each dataset. Surprisingly, it outperforms the previous [state-of-the-art on ANLI](https://github.com/facebookresearch/anli) (ALBERT-XXL) by 8,3%. I assume that this is because ANLI was created to fool masked language models like RoBERTa (or ALBERT), while DeBERTa-v3 uses a better pre-training objective (RTD), disentangled attention and I fine-tuned it on higher quality NLI data.

## Limitations and bias
Please consult the original DeBERTa-v3 paper and literature on different NLI datasets for more information on the training data and potential biases. The model will reproduce statistical patterns in the training data.

### Debugging and issues
Note that DeBERTa-v3 was released on 06.12.21 and older versions of HF Transformers seem to have issues running the model (e.g. resulting in an issue with the tokenizer). Using Transformers>=4.13 might solve some issues.
