## What is it?
A small GPT2 (`lvwerra/gpt2-imdb`) language model fine-tuned to produce **negative** movie reviews based the [IMDB dataset](https://www.kaggle.com/lakshmi25npathi/imdb-dataset-of-50k-movie-reviews). The model is trained with rewards from a BERT sentiment classifier (`lvwerra/gpt2-imdb`) via **PPO**.

## Why?
I wanted to reproduce the experiment [lvwerra/gpt2-imdb-pos](https://huggingface.co/lvwerra/gpt2-imdb-pos) but for generating **negative** movie reviews.

## Training setting
The model was trained for `100` optimisation steps with a batch size of `256` which corresponds to `25600` training samples. The full experiment setup (for positive samples) in [trl repo](https://lvwerra.github.io/trl/04-gpt2-sentiment-ppo-training/).

## Examples
A few examples of the model response to a query before and after optimisation:

| query | response (before) | response (after) | rewards (before) | rewards (after) |
