【预训练语言模型】 使用Transformers库进行BERT预训练

基于 HuggingFace的Transformer库，在Colab或Kaggle进行预训练。

鉴于算力限制，选用了较小的英文数据集wikitext-2

目的：跑通Mask语言模型的预训练流程

一、准备

1.1 安装依赖

!pip3 install --upgrade pip
!pip install -U datasets
!pip install accelerate -U

注意：在Kaggle上训练时，最好将datasets更新到最新版（再重启kernel），避免版本低报错

colab和kaggle已经预安装transformers库

1.2 数据准备

加载数据

from datasets import concatenate_datasets, load_dataset

wikitext2 = load_dataset("liuyanchen1015/VALUE_wikitext2_been_done", split="train")

# concatenate_datasets可以合并数据集，这里为了减少训练数据量，只用1个数据集
dataset = concatenate_datasets([wikitext2])
# 将数据集合切分为 90% 用于训练，10% 用于测试
d = dataset.train_test_split(test_size=0.1)

type(d["train"])

可以看到d的类型是

datasets.arrow_dataset.Dataset
def __init__(arrow_table: Table, info: Optional[DatasetInfo]=None, split: Optional[NamedSplit]=None, indices_table: Optional[Table]=None, fingerprint: Optional[str]=None)
A Dataset backed by an Arrow table.

训练集和测试集数量

print(len(d["train"]), len(d["test"]))

5391 600

查看数据

d["train"][0]

sentence、idx和score构成的字典，sentence为文本

{'sentence': "Rowley dismissed this idea given the shattered state of Africaine and instead towed the frigate back to Île Bourbon , shadowed by Astrée and Iphigénie on the return journey . The French frigates did achieve some consolation in pursuing Rowley from a distance , running into and capturing the Honourable East India Company 's armed brig Aurora , sent from India to reinforce Rowley . On 15 September , Boadicea , Africaine and the brigs done arrived at Saint Paul , Africaine sheltering under the fortifications of the harbour while the others put to sea , again seeking to drive away the French blockade but unable to bring them to action . Bouvet returned to Port Napoleon on 18 September , and thus was not present when Rowley attacked and captured the French flagship Vénus and Commodore Hamelin at the Action of 18 September 1810 .",
 'idx': 1867,
 'score': 1}

接下来将训练和测试数据，分别保存在本地文件中（后续用于训练tokenizer）

def dataset_to_text(dataset, output_filename="data.txt", num=1000):
    """Utility function to save dataset text to disk,
    useful for using the texts to train the tokenizer
    (as the tokenizer accepts files)"""
    cnt = 0
    with open(output_filename, "w") as f:
        for t in dataset["sentence"]:
            print(t, file=f) # 重定向到文件
            # print(len(t), t)
            cnt += 1
            if cnt == num:
                break

    print("Write {} sample in {}".format(num, output_filename))

# save the training set to train.txt
dataset_to_text(d["train"], "train.txt", len(d["train"]))
# save the testing set to test.txt
dataset_to_text(d["test"], "test.txt", len(d["test"]))

二、训练分词器（Tokenizer）

BERT采用了WordPiece分词，即

根据训练语料先训练一个语言模型，迭代每次在合并词元对时，会对所有词元进行评分，然后选择使训练数据似然增加最多的token对。直到，到达预定的词表大小。

相比BPE的选取频词最高的token对，WordPiece使用了语言模型来计算似然值：

score = 词元对出现的概率 / （第1个词元出现的概率 * 第1个词元出现的概率）。

因此，需要首先这里使用transformers库中的BertWordPieceTokenizer 类来完成分词器（Tokenizer）训练

import os, json
from transformers import BertTokenizerFast
from tokenizers import BertWordPieceTokenizer

special_tokens = [
"[PAD]", "[UNK]", "[CLS]", "[SEP]", "[MASK]", "<S>", "<T>"
]

# 加载之前存储的训练语料（可同时选择训练集和测试集）
# files = ["train.txt", "test.txt"]

# 在training set上训练tokenizer
files = ["train.txt"]

# 设定词表大小，BERT模型vocab size为30522，可自行更改
vocab_size = 30_522

# 最大序列长度, 较小的长度可以增加batch数量、提升训练速度
# 最大序列长度同时也决定了，BERT预训练的PositionEmbedding的大小，决定了其最大推理长度
max_length = 512

# 是否截断处理, 这边开启截断处理
# truncate_longer_samples = False
truncate_longer_samples = True

# 初始化WordPiece tokenizer
tokenizer = BertWordPieceTokenizer()

# 训练tokenizer
tokenizer.train(files=files,
                vocab_size=vocab_size,
                special_tokens=special_tokens)

# 截断至最大序列长度-512 tokens
tokenizer.enable_truncation(max_length=max_length)

model_path = "pretrained-bert"
# make the directory if not already there
if not os.path.isdir(model_path):
    os.mkdir(model_path)

# 存储tokenizer（其实就是词表文件vocab.txt）
tokenizer.save_model(model_path)

# 存储tokenizer的配置信息到config文件,
# including special tokens, whether to lower case and the maximum sequence length
with open(os.path.join(model_path, "config.json"), "w") as f:
    tokenizer_cfg = {
    "do_lower_case": True,
    "unk_token": "[UNK]",
    "sep_token": "[SEP]",
    "pad_token": "[PAD]",
    "cls_token": "[CLS]",
    "mask_token": "[MASK]",
    "model_max_length": max_length,
    "max_len": max_length,
    }
    json.dump(tokenizer_cfg, f)

# when the tokenizer is trained and configured, load it as BertTokenizerFast
tokenizer = BertTokenizerFast.from_pretrained(model_path)

vocab.txt内容，包括特殊7个token以及训练得到的tokens

[PAD]
[UNK]
[CLS]
[SEP]
[MASK]
<S>
<T>
!
"
#
$
%
&
'
(

config.json文件

{"do_lower_case": true, "unk_token": "[UNK]", "sep_token": "[SEP]", "pad_token": "[PAD]", "cls_token": "[CLS]", "mask_token": "[MASK]", "model_max_length": 512, "max_len": 512}

config.json和vocab.txt文件都是我们平时微调BERT或GPT经常见到的文件，其来源就是这个。

三 预处理语料集合

在开始BERT预训前，还需要将预训练语料根据训练好的 Tokenizer进行处理，将文本转换为分词后的结果。

如果文档长度超过512个Token），那么就直接进行截断。

数据处理代码如下所示：

def encode_with_truncation(examples):
    """Mapping function to tokenize the sentences passed with truncation"""
    return tokenizer(examples["sentence"], truncation=True, padding="max_length",
    max_length=max_length, return_special_tokens_mask=True)

def encode_without_truncation(examples):
    """Mapping function to tokenize the sentences passed without truncation"""
    return tokenizer(examples["sentence"], return_special_tokens_mask=True)

# 上述encode函数的使用，取决于truncate_longer_samples变量
encode = encode_with_truncation if truncate_longer_samples else encode_without_truncation

# tokenizing训练集
train_dataset = d["train"].map(encode, batched=True)
# tokenizing测试集
test_dataset = d["test"].map(encode, batched=True)
if truncate_longer_samples:
    # remove other columns and set input_ids and attention_mask as PyTorch tensors
    train_dataset.set_format(type="torch", columns=["input_ids", "attention_mask"])
    test_dataset.set_format(type="torch", columns=["input_ids", "attention_mask"])
else:
    # remove other columns, and remain them as Python lists
    test_dataset.set_format(columns=["input_ids", "attention_mask", "special_tokens_mask"])
    train_dataset.set_format(columns=["input_ids", "attention_mask", "special_tokens_mask"])

truncate_longer_samples变量控制对数据集进行词元处理的 encode() 函数。

• 如果设置为True，则会截断超过最大序列长度（max_length）的句子。否则不截断。
• 如果truncate_longer_samples设为False，需要将没有截断的样本连接起来，并组合成固定长度的向量。

这边开启截断处理（ 不截断处理,代码有为解决的bug ）。便于拼成chunk，batch处理。

Map: 100%
 5391/5391 [00:15<00:00, 352.72 examples/s]
Map: 100%
 600/600 [00:01<00:00, 442.19 examples/s]

观察分词结果

x = d["train"][10]['sentence'].split(".")[0]
x

In his foreword to John Marriott 's book , Thunderbirds Are Go ! , Anderson put forward several explanations for the series ' enduring popularity : it " contains elements that appeal to most children – danger , jeopardy and destruction

按max_length=33进行截断处理

tokenizer(x, truncation=True, padding="max_length", max_length=33, return_special_tokens_mask=True)

多余token被截断了，没有padding。

• 句子首部加上了（token id为2的[CLS]）
• 句子尾部加上了（token id为3的[SEP]）

{'input_ids': [2, 502, 577, 23750, 649, 511, 1136, 29823, 13, 59, 1253, 18, 4497, 659, 762, 7, 18, 3704, 2041, 3048, 1064, 26668, 534, 492, 1005, 13, 12799, 4281, 32, 555, 8, 4265, 3],
'token_type_ids': [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
'attention_mask': [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
'special_tokens_mask': [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1]}

按max_length=70进行截断处理

tokenizer(x, truncation=True, padding="max_length", max_length=70, return_special_tokens_mask=True)

不足max_length的token进行了padding（token id为0， 即[PAD]）， 对应attention_mask为0（注意力系数会变成无穷小，即mask掉）

{'input_ids': [2, 11045, 13, 61, 1248, 3346, 558, 8, 495, 4848, 1450, 8, 18, 981, 1146, 578, 17528, 558, 18652, 513, 13102, 18, 749, 1660, 819, 1985, 548, 566, 11279, 579, 826, 3881, 8079, 505, 495, 28263, 360, 18, 16273, 505, 570, 4145, 1644, 18, 505, 652, 757, 662, 2903, 1334, 791, 543, 3008, 810, 495, 817, 8079, 4436, 505, 579, 1558, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
'token_type_ids': [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
'attention_mask': [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
'special_tokens_mask': [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]}

如果，设置为不截断

tokenizer(x, truncation=False, return_special_tokens_mask=True)

比较正常的结果

{'input_ids': [2, 502, 577, 23750, 649, 511, 1136, 29823, 13, 59, 1253, 18, 4497, 659, 762, 7, 18, 3704, 2041, 3048, 1064, 26668, 534, 492, 1005, 13, 12799, 4281, 32, 555, 8, 4265, 2603, 545, 3740, 511, 843, 1970, 178, 8021, 18, 19251, 362, 510, 6681, 3], 'token_type_ids': [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], 'attention_mask': [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1], 'special_tokens_mask': [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1]}

反tokenize

y = tokenizer.decode(y["input_ids"])
y

直观看到，加入了[CLS]和[SEP]，而且这个例子是无损解码的。

[CLS] in his foreword to john marriott's book, thunderbirds are go!, anderson put forward several explanations for the series'enduring popularity : it " contains elements that appeal to most children – danger, jeopardy and destruction [SEP]

四、模型训练

在构建了处理好的预训练语料后，可以开始模型训练。

直接使用transformers的trainer类型，其代码如下所示：

from transformers import BertConfig, BertForMaskedLM
from transformers import DataCollatorForLanguageModeling, TrainingArguments, Trainer

# 使用config初始化model
model_config = BertConfig(vocab_size=vocab_size,
                          max_position_embeddings=max_length)
model = BertForMaskedLM(config=model_config)

# 初始化BERT的data collator, 随机Mask 20% (default is 15%)的token
# 掩码语言模型建模(Masked Language Modeling ，MLM)。预测[Mask]token对应的原始token
data_collator = DataCollatorForLanguageModeling(
tokenizer=tokenizer, mlm=True, mlm_probability=0.2
)

# 训练参数
training_args = TrainingArguments(
  output_dir=model_path,          # output directory to where save model checkpoint
  evaluation_strategy="steps",    # evaluate each `logging_steps` steps
  overwrite_output_dir=True,
  num_train_epochs=10,            # number of training epochs, feel free to tweak
  per_device_train_batch_size=10, # the training batch size, put it as high as your GPU memory fits
  gradient_accumulation_steps=8,  # accumulating the gradients before updating the weights
  per_device_eval_batch_size=64,  # evaluation batch size
  logging_steps=1000,             # evaluate, log and save model checkpoints every 1000 step
  save_steps=1000,
  # load_best_model_at_end=True, # whether to load the best model (in terms of loss)
  # at the end of training
  # save_total_limit=3, # whether you don't have much space so you
  # let only 3 model weights saved in the disk
  )

trainer = Trainer(
  model=model,
  args=training_args,
  data_collator=data_collator,
  train_dataset=train_dataset,
  eval_dataset=test_dataset,
  )

# 训练模型
trainer.train()

五、模型使用

5.1 直接推理

# 加载模型参数 checkpoint
model = BertForMaskedLM.from_pretrained(os.path.join(model_path, "checkpoint-10000"))

# 加载tokenizer
tokenizer = BertTokenizerFast.from_pretrained(model_path)
fill_mask = pipeline("fill-mask", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)

# 模型推理
examples = [
"Today's most trending hashtags on [MASK] is Donald Trump",
"The [MASK] was cloudy yesterday, but today it's rainy.",
]
for example in examples:
  for prediction in fill_mask(example):
    print(f"{prediction['sequence']}, confidence: {prediction['score']}")
    print("="*50)

进行，mask的token预测（完形填空），可以得到如下输出：
```python
today's most trending hashtags on twitter is donald trump, confidence: 0.1027069091796875
today's most trending hashtags on monday is donald trump, confidence: 0.09271949529647827
