Background

ELMo is a family of contextualized word embeddings first introduced in [Peter et al. 2018].

Using pre-trained models

Pre-trained ELMo models are available from the NLPL Word Embeddings repository.

Python code to infer contextualized word vectors from any input text, given a pre-trained model:

https://github.com/ltgoslo/simple_elmo

Training ELMo on Saga

We recommend to use the code from https://github.com/ltgoslo/simple_elmo_training to train an ELMo model with TensorFlow .

After cloning the repository and installing the dependencies, it boils down to running the command

python3 bin/train_elmo.py --train_prefix $DATA --size $SIZE --vocab_file $VOCAB --save_dir $OUT

where

$DATA is a path to the directory containing any number of (possibly gzipped) plain text files: your training corpus.

$SIZE if the number of word tokens in $DATA (necessary to properly construct and log batches).

$VOCAB is a (possibly gzipped) one-word-per-line vocabulary file to be used for language modeling; it should always contain at least <S>, </S> and <UNK>.

$OUT is a directory where the TensorFlow checkpoints will be saved.


There are currently two options of training ELMo on Saga with GPU-enabled TensorFlow: using a system TensorFlow module, or using Anaconda. The speed is comparable: one epoch over 100 million word tokens takes about 3 hours with 2 GPUs and batch size 192.


Using system TensorFlow

If using system TensorFlow (TensorFlow/1.13.1-fosscuda-2018b-Python-3.6.6), you do not have to install it locally.

Example SLURM file:

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=elmo
#SBATCH --mail-type=FAIL
#SBATCH --account=nn9447k    # Use your project number
#SBATCH --partition=accel    # To use the accelerator nodes
#SBATCH --gres=gpu:2         # To specify how many GPUs to use
#SBATCH --time=10:00:00      # Max walltime is 14 days.
#SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=6G
#SBATCH --ntasks=8
set -o errexit  # Recommended for easier debugging
## Load your modules
module purge   # Recommended for reproducibility
module load TensorFlow/1.13.1-fosscuda-2018b-Python-3.6.6
python3 bin/train_elmo.py --train_prefix $DATA --size $SIZE  --vocab_file $VOCAB --save_dir $OUT

Using Anaconda

If using Anaconda, you should install the tensorflow-gpu Python package locally. The profit is that you can choose (to some extent) the version of TensorFlow.

Example SLURM file:

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=elmo
#SBATCH --mail-type=FAIL
#SBATCH --account=nn9447k  # Use your project number
#SBATCH --partition=accel    # To use the accelerator nodes
#SBATCH --gres=gpu:2         # To specify how many GPUs to use
#SBATCH --time=10:00:00      # Max walltime is 14 days.
#SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=6G
#SBATCH --ntasks=8
set -o errexit  # Recommended for easier debugging
module purge   # Recommended for reproducibility
module load Anaconda3/2019.03
# >>> conda initialize >>>
# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!
__conda_setup="$('/cluster/software/Anaconda3/2019.03/bin/conda' 'shell.bash' 'hook' 2> /dev/null)"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
   eval "$__conda_setup"
else
   if [ -f "/cluster/software/Anaconda3/2019.03/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then
               . "/cluster/software/Anaconda3/2019.03/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
   else
       export PATH="/cluster/software/Anaconda3/2019.03/bin:$PATH"
