Requirements

datasets, flax and jax. wandb integration is built-in if you want to use it.

Examples

sanity_script.sh will launch performer fine-tuning from the bert-base-cased checkpoint on the Simple Wikipedia dataset (a small, easy-language English Wikipedia) from datasets. full_script.sh will launch performer fine-tuning from the bert-large-cased checkpoint on the English Wikipedia dataset from datasets.

Here are a few key arguments:

• Remove the --performer argument to use a standard Bert model.

• Add --reinitialize to start from a blank model rather than a Bert checkpoint.

• You may change the Bert size by passing a different checkpoint to the --model_name_or_path argument.

• Passing your user name to the --wandb_user_name argument will trigger weights and biases logging.

• You can choose a dataset with --dataset_name and --dataset_config. Our viewer will help you find what you need.
