Fine-tuning LMwithNSP
Author: 7AM7
Pull request: no
Labels: name: wontfix

when i fine tuning bert using BertForPreTraining i got error here --> outputs = model(input_ids=input_ids, attention_mask=input_mask, token_type_ids=segment_ids,
                            labels=lm_label_ids, next_sentence_label=is_next)
and in this line also loss.backward()
i got this error RuntimeError: CUDA error: CUBLAS_STATUS_ALLOC_FAILED when calling `cublasCreate(handle) and this error occur when shape of prediction not equal labels but i checked shape like this len(prediction_logits) == len(lm_label_ids) and same shape
what is the problem ?

You set your MLM labels to -1 when padding. You should set them to -100 if you want them to be ignored. See the [docs](https://huggingface.co/transformers/model_doc/bert.html#transformers.BertForPreTraining.forward).

same error with -100 padding but in this line lm_label_ids = ([-1] + t1_label + [-1] + t2_label + [-1]) when i set -1 to -100 my script run as well but i do not this way is correct or not ?
