Seq2Seq

Seq2Seq is a task that involves converting a sequence of words into another sequence of words. It is used in machine translation, text summarization, and question answering.

Data Format

You can have the dataset as a CSV file:

text,target
"this movie is great","dieser Film ist großartig"
"this movie is bad","dieser Film ist schlecht"
.
.
.

Or as a JSONL file:

{"text": "this movie is great", "target": "dieser Film ist großartig"}
{"text": "this movie is bad", "target": "dieser Film ist schlecht"}
.
.
.

Columns

Your CSV/JSONL dataset must have two columns: text and target.

  --text-column TEXT_COLUMN
                        Specify the column name in the dataset that contains the text data. Useful for distinguishing between multiple text fields.
                        Default is 'text'.
  --target-column TARGET_COLUMN
                        Specify the column name that holds the target data for training. Helps in distinguishing different potential outputs.
                        Default is 'target'.
  --max-seq-length MAX_SEQ_LENGTH
                        Set the maximum sequence length (number of tokens) that the model should handle in a single input. Longer sequences are
                        truncated. Affects both memory usage and computational requirements. Default is 128 tokens.
  --max-target-length MAX_TARGET_LENGTH
                        Define the maximum number of tokens for the target sequence in each input. Useful for models that generate outputs, ensuring
                        uniformity in sequence length. Default is set to 128 tokens.
  --warmup-ratio WARMUP_RATIO
                        Define the proportion of training to be dedicated to a linear warmup where learning rate gradually increases. This can help
                        in stabilizing the training process early on. Default ratio is 0.1.
  --optimizer OPTIMIZER
                        Choose the optimizer algorithm for training the model. Different optimizers can affect the training speed and model
                        performance. 'adamw_torch' is used by default.
  --scheduler SCHEDULER
                        Select the learning rate scheduler to adjust the learning rate based on the number of epochs. 'linear' decreases the
                        learning rate linearly from the initial lr set. Default is 'linear'. Try 'cosine' for a cosine annealing schedule.
  --weight-decay WEIGHT_DECAY
                        Set the weight decay rate to apply for regularization. Helps in preventing the model from overfitting by penalizing large
                        weights. Default is 0.0, meaning no weight decay is applied.
  --max-grad-norm MAX_GRAD_NORM
                        Specify the maximum norm of the gradients for gradient clipping. Gradient clipping is used to prevent the exploding gradient
                        problem in deep neural networks. Default is 1.0.
  --logging-steps LOGGING_STEPS
                        Determine how often to log training progress. Set this to the number of steps between each log output. -1 determines logging
                        steps automatically. Default is -1.
  --evaluation-strategy EVALUATION_STRATEGY
                        Specify how often to evaluate the model performance. Options include 'no', 'steps', 'epoch'. 'epoch' evaluates at the end of
                        each training epoch by default.
  --save-total-limit SAVE_TOTAL_LIMIT
                        Limit the total number of model checkpoints to save. Helps manage disk space by retaining only the most recent checkpoints.
                        Default is to save only the latest one.
  --auto-find-batch-size
                        Enable automatic batch size determination based on your hardware capabilities. When set, it tries to find the largest batch
                        size that fits in memory.
  --mixed-precision {fp16,bf16,None}
                        Choose the precision mode for training to optimize performance and memory usage. Options are 'fp16', 'bf16', or None for
                        default precision. Default is None.
  --peft                Enable LoRA-PEFT
  --quantization {int8,None}
                        Select the quantization mode to reduce model size and potentially increase inference speed. Options include 'int8' for 8-bit
                        integer quantization or None for no quantization. Default is None
  --lora-r LORA_R       Set the rank 'R' for the LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) technique. Default is 16.
  --lora-alpha LORA_ALPHA
                        Specify the 'Alpha' parameter for LoRA. Default is 32.
  --lora-dropout LORA_DROPOUT
                        Determine the dropout rate to apply in the LoRA layers, which can help in preventing overfitting by randomly disabling a
                        fraction of neurons during training. Default rate is 0.05.
  --target-modules TARGET_MODULES
                        List the modules within the model architecture that should be targeted for specific techniques such as LoRA adaptations.
                        Useful for fine-tuning particular components of large models. By default all linear layers are targeted.
