## Indo GPT-2 Small
Indo GPT-2 Small is a language model based on the [GPT-2 model](https://cdn.openai.com/better-language-models/language_models_are_unsupervised_multitask_learners.pdf). It was trained on the latest (late December 2020) Indonesian Wikipedia articles.

The model was originally HuggingFace's pretrained [English GPT-2 model](https://huggingface.co/transformers/model_doc/gpt2.html) and is later fine-tuned on the Indonesian dataset. Many of the techniques used
are based on a [notebook](https://github.com/piegu/fastai-projects/blob/master/finetuning-English-GPT2-any-language-Portuguese-HuggingFace-fastaiv2.ipynb)/[blog](https://medium.com/@pierre_guillou/faster-than-training-from-scratch-fine-tuning-the-english-gpt-2-in-any-language-with-hugging-f2ec05c98787) shared by [Pierre Guillou](https://medium.com/@pierre_guillou), where Pierre Guillou fine-tuned the English GPT-2 model on a Portuguese dataset.

Frameworks used include HuggingFace's [Transformers](https://huggingface.co/transformers) and fast.ai's [Deep Learning library](https://docs.fast.ai/). PyTorch was used as the backend framework during training, but the model remains compatible with TensorFlow nonetheless.

## Model
| Model             | #params | Arch.       | Training /Validation data (text)      |
|-------------------|---------|-------------|---------------------------------------|
| `indo-gpt2-small` |  124M   | GPT-2 Small | Indonesian Wikipedia (3.1 GB of text) |

## Evaluation Results
The model was trained for only 1 epoch and the following is the final result once the training ended.

| epoch | train loss | valid loss | perplexity | total time |
|-------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
|   0   |    2.981   |    2.936   |    18.85   |   2:45:25  |

## How to Use (PyTorch)
### Load Model and Byte-level Tokenizer
```python
from transformers import GPT2TokenizerFast, GPT2LMHeadModel
pretrained_name = "w11wo/indo-gpt2-small"
tokenizer = GPT2TokenizerFast.from_pretrained(pretrained_name)
tokenizer.model_max_length = 1024
model = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained(pretrained_name)
```

### Generate a Sequence
```python
# sample prompt
prompt = "Nama saya Budi, dari Indonesia"
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(prompt, return_tensors='pt')
model.eval()

# generate output using top-k sampling
sample_outputs = model.generate(input_ids, 
                                pad_token_id=50256,
                                do_sample=True, 
                                max_length=40, 
                                min_length=40,
                                top_k=40,
                                num_return_sequences=1)

for i, sample_output in enumerate(sample_outputs):
    print(tokenizer.decode(sample_output.tolist()))
```

## Disclaimer
Do remember that although the dataset originated from Wikipedia, the model may not always generate factual texts. Additionally, the biases which came from the Wikipedia articles may be carried over into the results of this model.

## Credits
Major thanks to Pierre Guillou for sharing his work, which did not only enable me to realize this project but also taught me tons of new, exciting stuff.
