103
A series of tests are included for the library and the example scripts. Library tests can be found in the [tests folder](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/master/transformers/tests) and examples tests in the [examples folder](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/master/examples).
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
104

105
These tests can be run using `unittest` or `pytest` (install pytest if needed with `pip install pytest`).
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
106

107
108
Depending on which framework is installed (TensorFlow 2.0 and/or PyTorch), the irrelevant tests will be skipped. Ensure that both frameworks are installed if you want to execute all tests.

thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
109
You can run the tests from the root of the cloned repository with the commands:

```
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
122

123
124
By default, slow tests are skipped. Set the `RUN_SLOW` environment variable to `yes` to run them.

125
126
127
128
### Do you want to run a Transformer model on a mobile device?

You should check out our [`swift-coreml-transformers`](https://github.com/huggingface/swift-coreml-transformers) repo.

129
It contains a set of tools to convert PyTorch or TensorFlow 2.0 trained Transformer models (currently contains `GPT-2`, `DistilGPT-2`, `BERT`, and `DistilBERT`) to CoreML models that run on iOS devices.
130

131
At some point in the future, you'll be able to seamlessly move from pre-training or fine-tuning models to productizing them in CoreML, or prototype a model or an app in CoreML then research its hyperparameters or architecture from TensorFlow 2.0 and/or PyTorch. Super exciting!

## Quick tour of model sharing

New in `v2.2.2`: you can now upload and share your fine-tuned models with the community, using the <abbr title="Command-line interface">CLI</abbr> that's built-in to the library.

**First, create an account on [https://huggingface.co/join](https://huggingface.co/join)**. Then:

```shell
transformers-cli login
# log in using the same credentials as on huggingface.co
```
Upload your model:
```shell
transformers-cli upload ./path/to/pretrained_model/

# ^^ Upload folder containing weights/tokenizer/config
# saved via `.save_pretrained()`

## Quick tour of pipelines

New in version `v2.3`: `Pipeline` are high-level objects which automatically handle tokenization, running your data through a transformers model
and outputting the result in a structured object. 

You can create `Pipeline` objects for the following down-stream tasks:
 - `feature-extraction`: Generates a tensor representation for the input sequence
 - `ner`: Generates named entity mapping for each word in the input sequence.
 - `sentiment-analysis`: Gives the polarity (positive / negative) of the whole input sequence. 
 - `question-answering`: Provided some context and a question refering to the context, it will extract the answer to the question
 in the context.

```python
from transformers import pipeline

# Allocate a pipeline for sentiment-analysis
nlp = pipeline('sentiment-analysis')
nlp('We are very happy to include pipeline into the transformers repository.')
>>> {'label': 'POSITIVE', 'score': 0.99893874}

# Allocate a pipeline for question-answering
nlp = pipeline('question-answering')
nlp({
    'question': 'What is the name of the repository ?', 
    'context': 'Pipeline have been included in the huggingface/transformers repository'
})
>>> {'score': 0.28756016668193496, 'start': 35, 'end': 59, 'answer': 'huggingface/transformers'}
```

## Migrating from pytorch-transformers to transformers

Here is a quick summary of what you should take care of when migrating from `pytorch-transformers` to `transformers`.

### Positional order of some models' keywords inputs (`attention_mask`, `token_type_ids`...) changed

To be able to use Torchscript (see #1010, #1204 and #1195) the specific order of some models **keywords inputs** (`attention_mask`, `token_type_ids`...) has been changed.

If you used to call the models with keyword names for keyword arguments, e.g. `model(inputs_ids, attention_mask=attention_mask, token_type_ids=token_type_ids)`, this should not cause any change.

If you used to call the models with positional inputs for keyword arguments, e.g. `model(inputs_ids, attention_mask, token_type_ids)`, you may have to double check the exact order of input arguments.

### Models always output `tuples`

541
The main breaking change when migrating from `pytorch-pretrained-bert` to `transformers` is that every model's forward method always outputs a `tuple` with various elements depending on the model and the configuration parameters.
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
542

DenysNahurnyi's avatar

543
The exact content of the tuples for each model is detailed in the models' docstrings and the [documentation](https://huggingface.co/transformers/).
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
544
545
546

In pretty much every case, you will be fine by taking the first element of the output as the output you previously used in `pytorch-pretrained-bert`.

547
Here is a `pytorch-pretrained-bert` to `transformers` conversion example for a `BertForSequenceClassification` classification model:

```python
# Let's load our model
model = BertForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('bert-base-uncased')

# If you used to have this line in pytorch-pretrained-bert:
loss = model(input_ids, labels=labels)

556
# Now just use this line in transformers to extract the loss from the output tuple:
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
557
558
559
outputs = model(input_ids, labels=labels)
loss = outputs[0]

560
# In transformers you can also have access to the logits:
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
561
562
loss, logits = outputs[:2]

563
# And even the attention weights if you configure the model to output them (and other outputs too, see the docstrings and documentation)

thomwolf committed
564
565
566
567
568
model = BertForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('bert-base-uncased', output_attentions=True)
outputs = model(input_ids, labels=labels)
loss, logits, attentions = outputs
```

569
570
571
572
### Using hidden states

By enabling the configuration option `output_hidden_states`, it was possible to retrieve the last hidden states of the encoder. In `pytorch-transformers` as well as `transformers` the return value has changed slightly: `all_hidden_states` now also includes the hidden state of the embeddings in addition to those of the encoding layers. This allows users to easily access the embeddings final state.

### Serialization

Breaking change in the `from_pretrained()` method:
576

Christopher Goh's avatar
Christopher Goh committed
577
1. Models are now set in evaluation mode by default when instantiated with the `from_pretrained()` method. To train them, don't forget to set them back in training mode (`model.train()`) to activate the dropout modules.
578

Christopher Goh's avatar
Christopher Goh committed
579
2. The additional `*input` and `**kwargs` arguments supplied to the `from_pretrained()` method used to be directly passed to the underlying model's class `__init__()` method. They are now used to update the model configuration attribute instead, which can break derived model classes built based on the previous `BertForSequenceClassification` examples. We are working on a way to mitigate this breaking change in [#866](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/866) by forwarding the the model's `__init__()` method (i) the provided positional arguments and (ii) the keyword arguments which do not match any configuration class attributes.

Also, while not a breaking change, the serialization methods have been standardized and you probably should switch to the new method `save_pretrained(save_directory)` if you were using any other serialization method before.

model = BertForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('bert-base-uncased')
tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('bert-base-uncased')

### Do some stuff to our model and tokenizer
# Ex: add new tokens to the vocabulary and embeddings of our model
tokenizer.add_tokens(['[SPECIAL_TOKEN_1]', '[SPECIAL_TOKEN_2]'])
model.resize_token_embeddings(len(tokenizer))
# Train our model
train(model)

### Now let's save our model and tokenizer to a directory
model.save_pretrained('./my_saved_model_directory/')
tokenizer.save_pretrained('./my_saved_model_directory/')

### Reload the model and the tokenizer
model = BertForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('./my_saved_model_directory/')
tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('./my_saved_model_directory/')
```

The two optimizers previously included, `BertAdam` and `OpenAIAdam`, have been replaced by a single `AdamW` optimizer which has a few differences:

- it only implements weights decay correction,
- schedules are now externals (see below),
- gradient clipping is now also external (see below).

The new optimizer `AdamW` matches PyTorch `Adam` optimizer API and let you use standard PyTorch or apex methods for the schedule and clipping.

The schedules are now standard [PyTorch learning rate schedulers](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/optim.html#how-to-adjust-learning-rate) and not part of the optimizer anymore.

Here is a conversion examples from `BertAdam` with a linear warmup and decay schedule to `AdamW` and the same schedule:

```python
# Parameters:
lr = 1e-3
623
max_grad_norm = 1.0
624
num_training_steps = 1000

625
num_warmup_steps = 100
626
warmup_proportion = float(num_warmup_steps) / float(num_training_steps)  # 0.1

### Previously BertAdam optimizer was instantiated like this:
629
optimizer = BertAdam(model.parameters(), lr=lr, schedule='warmup_linear', warmup=warmup_proportion, t_total=num_training_steps)

### and used like this:
for batch in train_data:
    loss = model(batch)
    loss.backward()
    optimizer.step()

636
### In Transformers, optimizer and schedules are splitted and instantiated like this:

optimizer = AdamW(model.parameters(), lr=lr, correct_bias=False)  # To reproduce BertAdam specific behavior set correct_bias=False
638
scheduler = get_linear_schedule_with_warmup(optimizer, num_warmup_steps=num_warmup_steps, num_training_steps=num_training_steps)  # PyTorch scheduler
