| | # RoBERTa large model
|
| |
|
| | Pretrained model on English language using a masked language modeling (MLM) objective. It was introduced in
|
| | [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.11692) and first released in
|
| | [this repository](https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/tree/master/examples/roberta). This model is case-sensitive: it
|
| | makes a difference between english and English.
|
| |
|
| | Disclaimer: The team releasing RoBERTa did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by
|
| | the Hugging Face team.
|
| |
|
| | ## Model description
|
| |
|
| | RoBERTa is a transformers model pretrained on a large corpus of English data in a self-supervised fashion. This means
|
| | it was pretrained on the raw texts only, with no humans labelling them in any way (which is why it can use lots of
|
| | publicly available data) with an automatic process to generate inputs and labels from those texts.
|
| |
|
| | More precisely, it was pretrained with the Masked language modeling (MLM) objective. Taking a sentence, the model
|
| | randomly masks 15% of the words in the input then run the entire masked sentence through the model and has to predict
|
| | the masked words. This is different from traditional recurrent neural networks (RNNs) that usually see the words one
|
| | after the other, or from autoregressive models like GPT which internally mask the future tokens. It allows the model to
|
| | learn a bidirectional representation of the sentence.
|
| |
|
| | This way, the model learns an inner representation of the English language that can then be used to extract features
|
| | useful for downstream tasks: if you have a dataset of labeled sentences for instance, you can train a standard
|
| | classifier using the features produced by the BERT model as inputs.
|
| |
|
| | ## Intended uses & limitations
|
| |
|
| | You can use the raw model for masked language modeling, but it's mostly intended to be fine-tuned on a downstream task.
|
| | See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?filter=roberta) to look for fine-tuned versions on 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 GPT2.
|
| |
|
| | ### 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='roberta-large')
|
| | >>> unmasker("Hello I'm a <mask> model.")
|
| |
|
| | [{'sequence': "<s>Hello I'm a male model.</s>",
|
| | 'score': 0.3317350447177887,
|
| | 'token': 2943,
|
| | 'token_str': 'Ġmale'},
|
| | {'sequence': "<s>Hello I'm a fashion model.</s>",
|
| | 'score': 0.14171843230724335,
|
| | 'token': 2734,
|
| | 'token_str': 'Ġfashion'},
|
| | {'sequence': "<s>Hello I'm a professional model.</s>",
|
| | 'score': 0.04291723668575287,
|
| | 'token': 2038,
|
| | 'token_str': 'Ġprofessional'},
|
| | {'sequence': "<s>Hello I'm a freelance model.</s>",
|
| | 'score': 0.02134818211197853,
|
| | 'token': 18150,
|
| | 'token_str': 'Ġfreelance'},
|
| | {'sequence': "<s>Hello I'm a young model.</s>",
|
| | 'score': 0.021098261699080467,
|
| | 'token': 664,
|
| | 'token_str': 'Ġyoung'}]
|
| | ```
|
| |
|
| | Here is how to use this model to get the features of a given text in PyTorch:
|
| |
|
| | ```python
|
| | from transformers import RobertaTokenizer, RobertaModel
|
| | tokenizer = RobertaTokenizer.from_pretrained('roberta-large')
|
| | model = RobertaModel.from_pretrained('roberta-large')
|
| | 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 RobertaTokenizer, TFRobertaModel
|
| | tokenizer = RobertaTokenizer.from_pretrained('roberta-large')
|
| | model = TFRobertaModel.from_pretrained('roberta-large')
|
| | text = "Replace me by any text you'd like."
|
| | encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='tf')
|
| | output = model(encoded_input)
|
| | ```
|
| |
|
| | ### Limitations and bias
|
| |
|
| | The training data used for this model contains a lot of unfiltered content from the internet, which is far from
|
| | neutral. Therefore, the model can have biased predictions:
|
| |
|
| | ```python
|
| | >>> from transformers import pipeline
|
| | >>> unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='roberta-large')
|
| | >>> unmasker("The man worked as a <mask>.")
|
| |
|
| | [{'sequence': '<s>The man worked as a mechanic.</s>',
|
| | 'score': 0.08260300755500793,
|
| | 'token': 25682,
|
| | 'token_str': 'Ġmechanic'},
|
| | {'sequence': '<s>The man worked as a driver.</s>',
|
| | 'score': 0.05736079439520836,
|
| | 'token': 1393,
|
| | 'token_str': 'Ġdriver'},
|
| | {'sequence': '<s>The man worked as a teacher.</s>',
|
| | 'score': 0.04709019884467125,
|
| | 'token': 3254,
|
| | 'token_str': 'Ġteacher'},
|
| | {'sequence': '<s>The man worked as a bartender.</s>',
|
| | 'score': 0.04641604796051979,
|
| | 'token': 33080,
|
| | 'token_str': 'Ġbartender'},
|
| | {'sequence': '<s>The man worked as a waiter.</s>',
|
| | 'score': 0.04239227622747421,
|
| | 'token': 38233,
|
| | 'token_str': 'Ġwaiter'}]
|
| |
|
| | >>> unmasker("The woman worked as a <mask>.")
|
| |
|
| | [{'sequence': '<s>The woman worked as a nurse.</s>',
|
| | 'score': 0.2667474150657654,
|
| | 'token': 9008,
|
| | 'token_str': 'Ġnurse'},
|
| | {'sequence': '<s>The woman worked as a waitress.</s>',
|
| | 'score': 0.12280137836933136,
|
| | 'token': 35698,
|
| | 'token_str': 'Ġwaitress'},
|
| | {'sequence': '<s>The woman worked as a teacher.</s>',
|
| | 'score': 0.09747499972581863,
|
| | 'token': 3254,
|
| | 'token_str': 'Ġteacher'},
|
| | {'sequence': '<s>The woman worked as a secretary.</s>',
|
| | 'score': 0.05783602222800255,
|
| | 'token': 2971,
|
| | 'token_str': 'Ġsecretary'},
|
| | {'sequence': '<s>The woman worked as a cleaner.</s>',
|
| | 'score': 0.05576248839497566,
|
| | 'token': 16126,
|
| | 'token_str': 'Ġcleaner'}]
|
| | ```
|
| |
|
| | This bias will also affect all fine-tuned versions of this model.
|
| |
|
| | ## Training data
|
| |
|
| | The RoBERTa model was pretrained on the reunion of five datasets:
|
| | - [BookCorpus](https://yknzhu.wixsite.com/mbweb), a dataset consisting of 11,038 unpublished books;
|
| | - [English Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Wikipedia) (excluding lists, tables and headers) ;
|
| | - [CC-News](https://commoncrawl.org/2016/10/news-dataset-available/), a dataset containing 63 millions English news
|
| | articles crawled between September 2016 and February 2019.
|
| | - [OpenWebText](https://github.com/jcpeterson/openwebtext), an opensource recreation of the WebText dataset used to
|
| | train GPT-2,
|
| | - [Stories](https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.02847) a dataset containing a subset of CommonCrawl data filtered to match the
|
| | story-like style of Winograd schemas.
|
| |
|
| | Together theses datasets weight 160GB of text.
|
| |
|
| | ## Training procedure
|
| |
|
| | ### Preprocessing
|
| |
|
| | The texts are tokenized using a byte version of Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) and a vocabulary size of 50,000. The inputs of
|
| | the model take pieces of 512 contiguous token that may span over documents. The beginning of a new document is marked
|
| | with `<s>` and the end of one by `</s>`
|
| |
|
| | 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.
|
| |
|
| | Contrary to BERT, the masking is done dynamically during pretraining (e.g., it changes at each epoch and is not fixed).
|
| |
|
| | ### Pretraining
|
| |
|
| | The model was trained on 1024 V100 GPUs for 500K steps with a batch size of 8K and a sequence length of 512. The
|
| | optimizer used is Adam with a learning rate of 4e-4, \\(\beta_{1} = 0.9\\), \\(\beta_{2} = 0.98\\) and
|
| | \\(\epsilon = 1e-6\\), a weight decay of 0.01, learning rate warmup for 30,000 steps and linear decay of the learning
|
| | rate after.
