# gpt2-medium-emailgen

[![colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/gist/pszemraj/70058788c6d4b430398c12ee8ba10602/minimal-demo-for-postbot-gpt2-medium-emailgen.ipynb
)

Why write the entire email when you can generate (most of) it?

```python
from transformers import pipeline

model_tag = "postbot/gpt2-medium-emailgen"
generator = pipeline(
              'text-generation', 
              model=model_tag, 
            )
            
prompt = """
Hello, 

Following up on the bubblegum shipment."""

result = generator(
    prompt,
    max_length=64,
    do_sample=False,
    early_stopping=True,
) # generate
print(result[0]['generated_text'])
```

## about

This model is a fine-tuned version of [gpt2-medium](https://huggingface.co/gpt2-medium) on the postbot/multi-emails-100k dataset.
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 1.5840

## Model description

More information needed

## Intended uses & limitations

- this is intended as a tool to save time writing predictable emails and not to write emails without a human-in-the-loop. validate that your email is factually correct before sending it to others.

## Training and evaluation data

- the dataset is essentially a hand-curated/augmented expansion to the classic `aeslc` dataset

## Training procedure

### Training hyperparameters

- gradient_accumulation_steps: 8
- total_train_batch_size: 128
- optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
- lr_scheduler_type: cosine
