Most of the state-of-the-art implementations require high-quality, voluminous, labeled data. Pre- trained models on large corpora have shown beneficial for text classification and other NLP tasks, but they can only take a limited amount of symbols as input. This is a real case study that explores different machine learning strategies to classify a small amount of long, unstructured, and uneven data to find a proper method with good performance. The collected data includes texts of financing opportunities the international R&D funding organizations provided on theirwebsites. The main goal is to find international R&D funding eligible for Brazilian researchers, sponsored by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation. We use pre-training and word embedding solutions to learn the relationship of the words from other datasets with considerable similarity and larger scale. Then, using the acquired features, based on the available dataset from MCTI, we apply transfer learning plus deep learning models to improve the comprehension of each sentence. Compared to the baseline accuracy rate of 81%, based on the available datasets, and the 85% accuracy rate achieved through a Transformer-based approach, the Word2Vec-based approach improved the accuracy rate to 88%. The research results serve as asuccessful case of artificial intelligence in a federal government application. This model focus on a more specific problem, creating a Research Financing Products Portfolio (FPP) outside ofthe Union budget, supported by the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MCTI). It was introduced in ["Using transfer learning to classify long unstructured texts with small amounts of labeled data"](https://www.scitepress.org/Link.aspx?doi=10.5220/0011527700003318) and first released in [this repository](https://huggingface.co/unb-lamfo-nlp-mcti). This model is uncased: it does not make a difference between english and English. ## Model description This Automatic Text Summarizarion (ATS) Model was developed to be applied to the Research Financing Products Portfolio (FPP) of the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation. It was produced in parallel with the writing of a Sistematic Literature Review paper, in which there is a discussion concerning many summarization methods, datasets, and evaluators as well as a brief overview of the nature of the task itself and the state-of-the-art of its implementation. The input of the model can be either a single text or a csv file containing multiple texts (in the English language) and its output are the summarized texts and their evaluation metrics. As an optional (although recommended) input, the model accepts gold-standard summaries for the texts, i.e., human written (or extracted) summaries of the texts which are considered to be good representations of their contents. Evaluators like ROUGE, which in its many variations is the most used to perform the task, require gold-standard summaries as inputs. There are, however, Evaluation Methods which do not deppend on the existence of a golden-summary (e.g. the cosine similarity method, the Kullback Leibler Divergence method) and this is why an evaluation can be made even when only the text is taken as an input to the model. ![architeru](https://github.com/marcosdib/S2Query/Classification_Architecture_model.png) ## Model variations With the motivation to increase accuracy obtained with baseline implementation, we implemented a transfer learning strategy under the assumption that small data available for training was insufficient for adequate embedding training. In this context, we considered two approaches: i) pre-training wordembeddings using similar datasets for text classification; ii) using transformers and attention mechanisms (Longformer) to create contextualized embeddings. XXXX has originally been released in base and large variations, for cased and uncased input text. The uncased models also strips out an accent markers. Chinese and multilingual uncased and cased versions followed shortly after. Modified preprocessing with whole word masking has replaced subpiece masking in a following work, with the release of two models. Other 24 smaller models are released afterward. The detailed release history can be found on the [here](https://huggingface.co/unb-lamfo-nlp-mcti) on github. | Model | #params | Language | |------------------------------|--------------------|-------| | [`mcti-base-uncased`] | 110M | English | | [`mcti-large-uncased`] | 340M | English | sub | [`mcti-base-cased`] | 110M | English | | [`mcti-large-cased`] | 110M | Chinese | | [`-base-multilingual-cased`] | 110M | Multiple | | Dataset | Compatibility to base* | |----------------------------|------------------------| | Labeled MCTI | 100% | | Full MCTI | 100% | | BBC News Articles | 56.77% | | New unlabeled MCTI | 75.26% | ## Intended uses You can use the raw model for either masked language modeling or next sentence prediction, but it's mostly intended to be fine-tuned on a downstream task. See the [model hub](https://www.google.com) to look for fine-tuned versions of a task that interests you. Note that this model is primarily aimed at being fine-tuned on tasks that use the whole sentence (potentially masked) to make decisions, such as sequence classification, token classification or question answering. For tasks such as text generation you should look at model like XXX. ### 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='bert-base-uncased') >>> unmasker("Hello I'm a [MASK] model.") [{'sequence': "[CLS] hello i'm a fashion model. [SEP]", 'score': 0.1073106899857521, 'token': 4827, 'token_str': 'fashion'}, {'sequence': "[CLS] hello i'm a role model. [SEP]", 'score': 0.08774490654468536, 'token': 2535, 'token_str': 'role'}, {'sequence': "[CLS] hello i'm a new model. [SEP]", 'score': 0.05338378623127937, 'token': 2047, 'token_str': 'new'}, {'sequence': "[CLS] hello i'm a super model. [SEP]", 'score': 0.04667217284440994, 'token': 3565, 'token_str': 'super'}, {'sequence': "[CLS] hello i'm a fine model. [SEP]", 'score': 0.027095865458250046, 'token': 2986, 'token_str': 'fine'}] ``` 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('bert-base-uncased') model = BertModel.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased") text = "Replace me by any text you'd like." encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt') output = model(**encoded_input) ``` and in TensorFlow: ```python from transformers import BertTokenizer, TFBertModel tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('bert-base-uncased') model = TFBertModel.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased") text = "Replace me by any text you'd like." encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='tf') output = model(encoded_input) ``` ### Limitations and bias Even if the training data used for this model could be characterized as fairly neutral, this model can have biased predictions: ```python >>> from transformers import pipeline >>> unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='bert-base-uncased') >>> unmasker("The man worked as a [MASK].") [{'sequence': '[CLS] the man worked as a carpenter. [SEP]', 'score': 0.09747550636529922, 'token': 10533, 'token_str': 'carpenter'}, {'sequence': '[CLS] the man worked as a waiter. [SEP]', 'score': 0.0523831807076931, 'token': 15610, 'token_str': 'waiter'}, {'sequence': '[CLS] the man worked as a barber. [SEP]', 'score': 0.04962705448269844, 'token': 13362, 'token_str': 'barber'}, {'sequence': '[CLS] the man worked as a mechanic. [SEP]', 'score': 0.03788609802722931, 'token': 15893, 'token_str': 'mechanic'}, {'sequence': '[CLS] the man worked as a salesman. [SEP]', 'score': 0.037680890411138535, 'token': 18968, 'token_str': 'salesman'}] >>> unmasker("The woman worked as a [MASK].") [{'sequence': '[CLS] the woman worked as a nurse. [SEP]', 'score': 0.21981462836265564, 'token': 6821, 'token_str': 'nurse'}, {'sequence': '[CLS] the woman worked as a waitress. [SEP]', 'score': 0.1597415804862976, 'token': 13877, 'token_str': 'waitress'}, {'sequence': '[CLS] the woman worked as a maid. [SEP]', 'score': 0.1154729500412941, 'token': 10850, 'token_str': 'maid'}, {'sequence': '[CLS] the woman worked as a prostitute. [SEP]', 'score': 0.037968918681144714, 'token': 19215, 'token_str': 'prostitute'}, {'sequence': '[CLS] the woman worked as a cook. [SEP]', 'score': 0.03042375110089779, 'token': 5660, 'token_str': 'cook'}] ``` This bias will also affect all fine-tuned versions of this model. ## Training data The BERT model was pretrained on [BookCorpus](https://yknzhu.wixsite.com/mbweb), a dataset consisting of 11,038 unpublished books and [English Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Wikipedia) (excluding lists, tables and headers). ## Training procedure ### Preprocessing The texts are lowercased and tokenized using WordPiece and a vocabulary size of 30,000. The inputs of the model are then of the form: ``` [CLS] Sentence A [SEP] Sentence B [SEP] ``` With probability 0.5, sentence A and sentence B correspond to two consecutive sentences in the original corpus, and in the other cases, it's another random sentence in the corpus. Note that what is considered a sentence here is a consecutive span of text usually longer than a single sentence. The only constrain is that the result with the two "sentences" has a combined length of less than 512 tokens. The details of the masking procedure for each sentence are the following: - 15% of the tokens are masked. - In 80% of the cases, the masked tokens are replaced by `[MASK]`. - In 10% of the cases, the masked tokens are replaced by a random token (different) from the one they replace. - In the 10% remaining cases, the masked tokens are left as is. ### Pretraining The model was trained on 4 cloud TPUs in Pod configuration (16 TPU chips total) for one million steps with a batch size of 256. The sequence length was limited to 128 tokens for 90% of the steps and 512 for the remaining 10%. The optimizer used is Adam with a learning rate of 1e-4, \\(\beta_{1} = 0.9\\) and \\(\beta_{2} = 0.999\\), a weight decay of 0.01, learning rate warmup for 10,000 steps and linear decay of the learning rate after. ## Evaluation results ### Model training with Word2Vec embeddings Now we have a pre-trained model of word2vec embeddings that has already learned relevant meaningsfor our classification problem. We can couple it to our classification models (Fig. 4), realizing transferlearning and then training the model with the labeled data in a supervised manner. The new coupled model can be seen in Figure 5 under word2vec model training. The Table 3 shows the obtained results with related metrics. With this implementation, we achieved new levels of accuracy with 86% for the CNN architecture and 88% for the LSTM architecture. Table 1: Results from Pre-trained WE + ML models. | ML Model | Accuracy | F1 Score | Precision | Recall | |:--------:|:---------:|:---------:|:---------:|:---------:| | NN | 0.8269 | 0.8545 | 0.8392 | 0.8712 | | DNN | 0.7115 | 0.7794 | 0.7255 | 0.8485 | | CNN | 0.8654 | 0.9083 | 0.8486 | 0.9773 | | LSTM | 0.8846 | 0.9139 | 0.9056 | 0.9318 | ### Transformer-based implementation Another way we used pre-trained vector representations was by use of a Longformer (Beltagy et al., 2020). We chose it because of the limitation of the first generation of transformers and BERT-based architectures involving the size of the sentences: the maximum of 512 tokens. The reason behind that limitation is that the self-attention mechanism scale quadratically with the input sequence length O(n2) (Beltagy et al., 2020). The Longformer allowed the processing sequences of a thousand characters without facing the memory bottleneck of BERT-like architectures and achieved SOTA in several benchmarks. For our text length distribution in Figure 3, if we used a Bert-based architecture with a maximum length of 512, 99 sentences would have to be truncated and probably miss some critical information. By comparison, with the Longformer, with a maximum length of 4096, only eight sentences will have their information shortened. To apply the Longformer, we used the pre-trained base (available on the link) that was previously trained with a combination of vast datasets as input to the model, as shown in figure 5 under Longformer model training. After coupling to our classification models, we realized supervised training of the whole model. At this point, only transfer learning was applied since more computational power was needed to realize the fine-tuning of the weights. The results with related metrics can be viewed in table 4. This approach achieved adequate accuracy scores, above 82% in all implementation architectures.
