# Chinese RoBERTa Miniatures

## Model description

This is the set of 24 Chinese RoBERTa models pre-trained by [UER-py](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/D19-3041.pdf).

You can download the 24 Chinese RoBERTa miniatures either from the [UER-py Github page](https://github.com/dbiir/UER-py/), or via HuggingFace from the links below:

## How to use

You can use this model directly with a pipeline for masked language modeling:

```python
>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='uer/chinese_roberta_L-8_H-512')
>>> unmasker("中国的首都是[MASK]京。")
[
    {'sequence': '[CLS] 中 国 的 首 都 是 北 京 。 [SEP]',
     'score': 0.9338967204093933, 
     'token': 1266, 
     'token_str': '北'},
    {'sequence': '[CLS] 中 国 的 首 都 是 南 京 。 [SEP]', 
     'score': 0.039428312331438065, 
     'token': 1298, 
     'token_str': '南'}, 
    {'sequence': '[CLS] 中 国 的 首 都 是 东 京 。 [SEP]', 
     'score': 0.01681734062731266, 
     'token': 691, 
     'token_str': '东'}, 
    {'sequence': '[CLS] 中 国 的 首 都 是 普 京 。 [SEP]', 
     'score': 0.004590896889567375,
     'token': 3249, 
     'token_str': '普'},
    {'sequence': '[CLS] 中 国 的 首 都 是 燕 京 。 [SEP]', 
     'score': 0.0007656012894585729, 
     'token': 4242,
     'token_str': '燕'}
]

```

Here is how to use this model to get the features of a given text in PyTorch:

```python
from transformers import BertTokenizer, BertModel
tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('uer/chinese_roberta_L-8_H-512')
model = BertModel.from_pretrained("uer/chinese_roberta_L-8_H-512")
text = "用你喜欢的任何文本替换我。"
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
output = model(**encoded_input)
```

and in TensorFlow:

```python
from transformers import BertTokenizer, TFBertModel
tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('uer/chinese_roberta_L-8_H-512')
model = TFBertModel.from_pretrained("uer/chinese_roberta_L-8_H-512")
text = "用你喜欢的任何文本替换我。"
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='tf')
output = model(encoded_input)
```



## Training data

CLUECorpus2020 and CLUECorpusSmall are used as training data.

## Training procedure

Models are pre-trained by [UER-py](https://github.com/dbiir/UER-py/) on [Tencent Cloud TI-ONE](https://cloud.tencent.com/product/tione/). 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 512.
