# SecureBERT+
This model represents an improved version of the [SecureBERT](https://huggingface.co/ehsanaghaei/SecureBERT) model, trained on a corpus eight times larger than its predecessor, leveraging the computational power of 8xA100 GPUs. This version, known as SecureBERT+, brings forth an average improvment of 9% in the performance of the Masked Language Model (MLM) task. This advancement signifies a substantial stride towards achieving heightened proficiency in language understanding and representation learning within the cybersecurity domain.


SecureBERT is a domain-specific language model based on RoBERTa which is trained on a huge amount of cybersecurity data and fine-tuned/tweaked to understand/represent cybersecurity textual data.

## Load Model
SecureBER+T has been uploaded to [Huggingface](https://huggingface.co/ehsanaghaei/SecureBERT_Plus) framework. 

```python
from transformers import RobertaTokenizer, RobertaModel
import torch

tokenizer = RobertaTokenizer.from_pretrained("ehsanaghaei/SecureBERT_Plus")
model = RobertaModel.from_pretrained("ehsanaghaei/SecureBERT_Plus")

inputs = tokenizer("This is SecureBERT Plus!", return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)

last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state
```

## Fill Mask (MLM)
Use the code below to predict the masked word within the given sentences:

```python
#!pip install transformers
#!pip install torch
#!pip install tokenizers

import torch
import transformers
from transformers import RobertaTokenizer, RobertaTokenizerFast

tokenizer = RobertaTokenizerFast.from_pretrained("ehsanaghaei/SecureBERT_Plus")
model = transformers.RobertaForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("ehsanaghaei/SecureBERT_Plus")

def predict_mask(sent, tokenizer, model, topk =10, print_results = True):
    token_ids = tokenizer.encode(sent, return_tensors='pt')
    masked_position = (token_ids.squeeze() == tokenizer.mask_token_id).nonzero()
    masked_pos = [mask.item() for mask in masked_position]
    words = []
    with torch.no_grad():
        output = model(token_ids)

    last_hidden_state = output[0].squeeze()

    list_of_list = []
    for index, mask_index in enumerate(masked_pos):
        mask_hidden_state = last_hidden_state[mask_index]
        idx = torch.topk(mask_hidden_state, k=topk, dim=0)[1]
        words = [tokenizer.decode(i.item()).strip() for i in idx]
        words = [w.replace(' ','') for w in words]
        list_of_list.append(words)
        if print_results:
            print("Mask ", "Predictions: ", words)

    best_guess = ""
    for j in list_of_list:
        best_guess = best_guess + "," + j[0]

    return words


while True:
    sent = input("Text here: \t")
    print("SecureBERT: ")
    predict_mask(sent, tokenizer, model)
     
    print("===========================\n")
```
