# Chinese BART
## Model description
This model is pre-trained by [UER-py](https://github.com/dbiir/UER-py/), which is introduced in [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.05658). Besides, the models could also be pre-trained by [TencentPretrain](https://github.com/Tencent/TencentPretrain) introduced in [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.06385), which inherits UER-py to support models with parameters above one billion, and extends it to a multimodal pre-training framework.
You can download the set of Chinese BART models either from the [UER-py Modelzoo page](https://github.com/dbiir/UER-py/wiki/Modelzoo), or via HuggingFace from the links below:
| | Link |
| ----------------- | :----------------------------: |
| **BART-Base** | [**L=6/H=768 (Base)**][base] |
| **BART-Large** | [**L=12/H=1024 (Large)**][large] |
## How to use
You can use this model directly with a pipeline for text2text generation (take the case of BART-Base):
```python
>>> from transformers import BertTokenizer, BartForConditionalGeneration, Text2TextGenerationPipeline
>>> tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("uer/bart-base-chinese-cluecorpussmall")
>>> model = BartForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("uer/bart-base-chinese-cluecorpussmall")
>>> text2text_generator = Text2TextGenerationPipeline(model, tokenizer)
>>> text2text_generator("中国的首都是[MASK]京", max_length=50, do_sample=False)
[{'generated_text': '中 国 的 首 都 是 北 京'}]
```
## Training data
[CLUECorpusSmall](https://github.com/CLUEbenchmark/CLUECorpus2020/) is used as training data.
## Training procedure
The model is pre-trained by [UER-py](https://github.com/dbiir/UER-py/) on [Tencent Cloud](https://cloud.tencent.com/). We pre-train 1,000,000 steps with a sequence length of 512.
Taking the case of BART-Base
```
python3 preprocess.py --corpus_path corpora/cluecorpussmall_bert.txt \
--vocab_path models/google_zh_vocab.txt \
--dataset_path cluecorpussmall_bart_seq512_dataset.pt \
--processes_num 32 --seq_length 512 \
--data_processor bart
```
```
python3 pretrain.py --dataset_path cluecorpussmall_bart_seq512_dataset.pt \
--vocab_path models/google_zh_vocab.txt \
--config_path models/bart/base_config.json \
--output_model_path models/cluecorpussmall_bart_base_seq512_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 5e-5 --batch_size 8 \
--span_masking --span_max_length 3
```
Finally, we convert the pre-trained model into Huggingface's format:
```
python3 scripts/convert_bart_from_uer_to_huggingface.py --input_model_path models/cluecorpussmall_bart_base_seq512_model.bin-1000000 \
--output_model_path pytorch_model.bin \
--layers_num 6
```
