Background
This page provides an informal, technically-oriented survey over available (and commonly used) architectures and implementations for large-scale pre-training (and fine-tuning) of contextualized neural language models.
The NLPL use case, will install, validate, and maintain a selection of these implementations, in an automated and uniform manner, on multiple HPC systems.
ELMo
Embeddings from Language Models (ELMo) use bidirectional LSTM language models to produce contextualized word token representations (Peters et al 2018)
Available implementations
- Reference Tensorflow implementation. Requirements: Python >=3.5, 1.2 < TensorFlow < 1.13 (later versions produce too many deprecation warnings), h5py.
- LTG implementation. Based on the reference implementation, but with improved data loading, hyperparameter handling, and the code updated to more recent versions of TensorFlow. Requirements: Python >=3.5, 1.15 <= Tensorflow < 2.0 (2.0 version is planned), h5py, smart_open. Tutorial is available.
- PyTorch implementation in AllenNLP. Not much interesting to us, since it does not support training, only inference. Requirements: Python >= 3.6, 1.6 <= PyTorch < 1.7.
BERT
Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) is a deep language model jointly conditioned on both left and right context in all layers. It is based on the Transformer neural architecture (Devlin et al 2019).
Available implementations
- Reference Google implementation in TensorFlow. Requirements: 1.11 <= TensorFlow < 2.0.
