You should install 🤗 Transformers in a [virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html). If you're unfamiliar with Python virtual environments, check out the [user guide](https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/).

Create a virtual environment with the version of Python you're going to use and activate it.

Now, if you want to use 🤗 Transformers, you can install it with pip. If you'd like to play with the examples, you must install it from source.

78

79
First you need to install one of, or both, TensorFlow 2.0 and PyTorch.
Christopher Goh's avatar
Christopher Goh committed
80
Please refer to [TensorFlow installation page](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip#tensorflow-2.0-rc-is-available) and/or [PyTorch installation page](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/#start-locally) regarding the specific install command for your platform.
81
82

When TensorFlow 2.0 and/or PyTorch has been installed, 🤗 Transformers can be installed using pip as follows:

When you update the repository, you should upgrade the transformers installation and its dependencies as follows:

```bash
git pull
105
pip install --upgrade .
106
107
```

108
109
110
111
### Run the examples

Examples are included in the repository but are not shipped with the library.

112
Therefore, in order to run the latest versions of the examples, you need to install from source, as described above.
113

114
Look at the [README](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/master/examples/README.md) for how to run examples.

116
### Tests
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
117

118
A series of tests are included for the library and for some example scripts. Library tests can be found in the [tests folder](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/master/tests) and examples tests in the [examples folder](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/master/examples).
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
119

120
121
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.

122
Here's the easiest way to run tests for the library:
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
123

124
```bash
125
pip install -e ".[testing]"
126
make test
127
128
```

129
and for the examples:
130

thomwolf's avatar

131
```bash
132
pip install -e ".[testing]"
133
134
pip install -r examples/requirements.txt

### 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.

143
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.
144

145
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!

Julien Chaumond committed
474
Starting with `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.
475

476
**First, create an account on [https://huggingface.co/join](https://huggingface.co/join)**. Optionally, join an existing organization or create a new one. Then:
477
478
479
480
481
482
483
484
485
486
487
488

```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()`

Julien Chaumond's avatar
Julien Chaumond committed
489
transformers-cli upload ./config.json [--filename folder/foobar.json]
490
491

# ^^ Upload a single file
Julien Chaumond's avatar
Julien Chaumond committed
492
# (you can optionally override its filename, which can be nested inside a folder)
493
494
```

495
496
497
498
499
500
If you want your model to be namespaced by your organization name rather than your username, add the following flag to any command:
```shell
--organization organization_name
```

Your model will then be accessible through its identifier, a concatenation of your username (or organization name) and the folder name above:
501
```python
Julien Chaumond's avatar
Julien Chaumond committed
502
503
504
"username/pretrained_model"
# or if an org:
"organization_name/pretrained_model"
505
506
```

507
**Please add a README.md model card** to the repo under `model_cards/` with: model description, training params (dataset, preprocessing, hardware used, hyperparameters), evaluation results, intended uses & limitations, etc.
508
509
510

Your model now has a page on huggingface.co/models 🔥

511
512
Anyone can load it from code:
```python
513
514
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("namespace/pretrained_model")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("namespace/pretrained_model")
515
516
```

517
List all your files on S3:
518
```shell
Julien Chaumond's avatar
Julien Chaumond committed
519
transformers-cli s3 ls
520
521
```

522
You can also delete unneeded files:

535
536
 - `feature-extraction`: Generates a tensor representation for the input sequence
 - `ner`: Generates named entity mapping for each word in the input sequence.
537
 - `sentiment-analysis`: Gives the polarity (positive / negative) of the whole input sequence.
Julien Chaumond's avatar
Julien Chaumond committed
538
539
540
 - `text-classification`: Initialize a `TextClassificationPipeline` directly, or see `sentiment-analysis` for an example.
 - `question-answering`: Provided some context and a question refering to the context, it will extract the answer to the question in the context.
 - `fill-mask`: Takes an input sequence containing a masked token (e.g. `<mask>`) and return list of most probable filled sequences, with their probabilities.

## 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`

578
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.

The exact content of the tuples for each model is detailed in the models' docstrings and the [documentation](https://huggingface.co/transformers/).

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`.

584
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)

593
# Now just use this line in transformers to extract the loss from the output tuple:

loss, logits = outputs[:2]

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

outputs = model(input_ids, labels=labels)
loss, logits, attentions = outputs
```

### 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:

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.
615

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.

Here is an example:

```python
### Let's load a model and tokenizer
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/')
```

### Optimizers: BertAdam & OpenAIAdam are now AdamW, schedules are standard PyTorch schedules

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
660
max_grad_norm = 1.0
661
num_training_steps = 1000
thomwolf's avatar
thomwolf committed
662
num_warmup_steps = 100
663
warmup_proportion = float(num_warmup_steps) / float(num_training_steps)  # 0.1

### Previously BertAdam optimizer was instantiated like this:
666
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()

673
### In Transformers, optimizer and schedules are splitted and instantiated like this:

thomwolf committed
674
optimizer = AdamW(model.parameters(), lr=lr, correct_bias=False)  # To reproduce BertAdam specific behavior set correct_bias=False
