## Overview

**Prompt-learning** is the latest paradigm to adapt pre-trained language models (PLMs) to downstream NLP tasks, which modifies the input text with a textual template and directly uses PLMs to conduct pre-trained tasks. This library provides a standard, flexible and extensible framework to deploy the prompt-learning pipeline. OpenPrompt supports loading PLMs directly from [huggingface transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers). In the future, we will also support PLMs implemented by other libraries. For more resources about prompt-learning, please check our [paper list](https://github.com/thunlp/PromptPapers).

## What Can You Do via OpenPrompt?



![demo](docs/source/demo.gif)



- Use the implementations of current prompt-learning approaches.* We have implemented various of prompting methods, including templating, verbalizing and optimization strategies under a unified standard. You can easily call and understand these methods.
- *Design your own prompt-learning work.* With the extensibility of OpenPrompt, you can quickly practice your prompt-learning ideas.




## Installation

**Note: Please use Python 3.8+ for OpenPrompt**

### Using Pip

Our repo is tested on Python **3.8+** and PyTorch **1.8.1+**, install OpenPrompt using pip as follows:




```shell
pip install openprompt
```

To play with the latest features, you can also install OpenPrompt from the source.

### Using Git

Clone the repository from github:

```shell
git clone https://github.com/thunlp/OpenPrompt.git
cd OpenPrompt
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install
```

Modify the code

```
python setup.py develop
```



## Use OpenPrompt

### Base Concepts

A  `PromptModel`  object contains a `PLM`, a (or multiple) `Template`  and a (or multiple) `Verbalizer`, where the `Template` class is defined to wrap the original input with templates, and the `Verbalizer` class is to construct a projection between labels and target words in the current vocabulary. And a `PromptModel`  object practically participates in training and inference.

### Introduction by a Simple Example

With the modularity and flexibility of OpenPrompt, you can easily develop a prompt-learning pipeline.

#### Step 1: Define a task

The first step is to determine the current NLP task, think about what’s your data looks like and what do you want from the data! That is, the essence of this step is to determine the `classes` and the `InputExample` of the task. For simplicity, we use Sentiment Analysis as an example. tutorial_task.

```python
from openprompt.data_utils import InputExample
classes = [ # There are two classes in Sentiment Analysis, one for negative and one for positive
    "negative",
    "positive"
]
dataset = [ # For simplicity, there's only two examples
    # text_a is the input text of the data, some other datasets may have multiple input sentences in one example.
    InputExample(
        guid = 0,
        text_a = "Albert Einstein was one of the greatest intellects of his time.",
    ),
    InputExample(
        guid = 1,
        text_a = "The film was badly made.",
    ),
]
```



#### Step 2: Define a Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) as backbone.

Choose a PLM to support your task. Different models have different attributes, we encourge you to use OpenPrompt to explore the potential of various PLMs. OpenPrompt is compatible with models on [huggingface](https://huggingface.co/transformers/).

```python
from openprompt.plms import load_plm
plm, tokenizer, model_config, WrapperClass = load_plm("bert", "bert-base-cased")
```



#### Step 3: Define a Template.

A `Template` is a modifier of the original input text, which is also one of the most important modules in prompt-learning. 
We have defined `text_a` in Step 1.

```python
from openprompt.prompts import ManualTemplate
promptTemplate = ManualTemplate(
    text = '{"placeholder":"text_a"} It was {"mask"}',
    tokenizer = tokenizer,
)
```



#### Step 4: Define a Verbalizer

A `Verbalizer` is another important (but not necessary) in prompt-learning,which projects the original labels (we have defined them as `classes`, remember?) to a set of label words. Here is an example that we project the `negative` class to the word bad, and project the `positive` class to the words good, wonderful, great.

```python
from openprompt.prompts import ManualVerbalizer
promptVerbalizer = ManualVerbalizer(
    classes = classes,
    label_words = {
        "negative": ["bad"],
        "positive": ["good", "wonderful", "great"],
    },
    tokenizer = tokenizer,
)
```



#### Step 5: Combine them into a PromptModel

Given the task, now we have a `PLM`, a `Template` and a `Verbalizer`, we combine them into a `PromptModel`. Note that although the example naively combine the three modules, you can actually define some complicated interactions among them.

```python
from openprompt import PromptForClassification
promptModel = PromptForClassification(
    template = promptTemplate,
    plm = plm,
    verbalizer = promptVerbalizer,
)
```

#### Step 6: Define a DataLoader

A ``PromptDataLoader`` is basically a prompt version of pytorch Dataloader, which also includes a ``Tokenizer``, a ``Template`` and a ``TokenizerWrapper``.

```python
from openprompt import PromptDataLoader
data_loader = PromptDataLoader(
    dataset = dataset,
    tokenizer = tokenizer,
    template = promptTemplate,
    tokenizer_wrapper_class=WrapperClass,
)
```

#### Step 7: Train and inference

Done! We can conduct training and inference the same as other processes in Pytorch.


```python
import torch

# making zero-shot inference using pretrained MLM with prompt
promptModel.eval()
with torch.no_grad():
    for batch in data_loader:
        logits = promptModel(batch)
        preds = torch.argmax(logits, dim = -1)
        print(classes[preds])
# predictions would be 1, 0 for classes 'positive', 'negative'
```

## Datasets

We provide a series of download scripts in the `dataset/` folder, feel free to use them to download benchmarks.

## Performance Report
There are too many possible combinations powered by OpenPrompt. We are trying our best
to test the performance of different methods as soon as possible. The performance will be constantly updated into the [Tables](https://github.com/thunlp/OpenPrompt/tree/main/results/).
We also encourage the users to find the best hyper-parameters for their own tasks and report the results by making pull request.

## Known Issues
Major improvement/enhancement in future.

- We made some major changes from the last version, so part of the docs is outdated. We will fix it soon.
