Chinese GPT2 Model
Model description
The model is used to generate Chinese texts. You can download the model either from the GPT2-Chinese Github page, or via HuggingFace from the link gpt2-chinese-cluecorpussmall.
How to use
You can use the model directly with a pipeline for text generation:
>>> from transformers import BertTokenizer, GPT2LMHeadModel, TextGenerationPipeline
>>> tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("uer/gpt2-chinese-cluecorpussmall")
>>> model = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained("uer/gpt2-chinese-cluecorpussmall")
>>> text_generator = TextGenerationPipeline(model, tokenizer)
>>> text_generator("这是很久之前的事情了", max_length=100, do_sample=True)
[{'generated_text': '这是很久之前的事情了 , 我 曾 经 把 这 个 当 做 一 种 思 想 的 传 承 , 或 者 是 人 生 的 回 顾 , 当 时 我 们 是 一 个 刚 刚 加 入 的 时 候 就 想 要 加 入 他 们 , 于 是 我 们 每 天 看 到 他 们 , 加 上 他 们 的 各 种 不 可 思 议 的 行 为 , 直 到 现 在 , 我 们 的 人 生 才 完 整 起 来 。'}]
Training data
CLUECorpusSmall is used as training data.
Training procedure
The model is pre-trained by UER-py on Tencent Cloud. We pre-train 1,000,000 steps with a sequence length of 128 and then pre-train 250,000 additional steps with a sequence length of 1024.
Stage1:
python3 preprocess.py --corpus_path corpora/cluecorpussmall.txt \
--vocab_path models/google_zh_vocab.txt \
--dataset_path cluecorpussmall_lm_seq128_dataset.pt \
--seq_length 128 --processes_num 32 --data_processor lm
python3 pretrain.py --dataset_path cluecorpussmall_lm_seq128_dataset.pt \
--vocab_path models/google_zh_vocab.txt \
--config_path models/gpt2/config.json \
--output_model_path models/cluecorpussmall_gpt2_seq128_model.bin \
--world_size 8 --gpu_ranks 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 \
--total_steps 1000000 --save_checkpoint_steps 100000 --report_steps 50000 \
--learning_rate 1e-4 --batch_size 64
Stage2:
python3 preprocess.py --corpus_path corpora/cluecorpussmall.txt \
--vocab_path models/google_zh_vocab.txt \
--dataset_path cluecorpussmall_lm_seq1024_dataset.pt \
--seq_length 1024 --processes_num 32 --data_processor lm
python3 pretrain.py --dataset_path cluecorpussmall_lm_seq1024_dataset.pt \
--vocab_path models/google_zh_vocab.txt \
--pretrained_model_path models/cluecorpussmall_gpt2_seq128_model.bin-1000000 \
--config_path models/gpt2/config.json \
--output_model_path models/cluecorpussmall_gpt2_seq1024_model.bin \
--world_size 8 --gpu_ranks 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 \
--total_steps 250000 --save_checkpoint_steps 50000 --report_steps 10000 \
--learning_rate 5e-5 --batch_size 16
Finally, we convert the pre-trained model into Huggingface's format:
python3 scripts/convert_gpt2_from_uer_to_huggingface.py --input_model_path cluecorpussmall_gpt2_seq1024_model.bin-250000 \
--output_model_path pytorch_model.bin \
--layers_num 12

This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social
visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated)
instead.
