# ALBERT Base v2
|
10 |
+
|
11 |
+
Pretrained model on English language using a masked language modeling (MLM) objective. It was introduced in
|
12 |
+
[this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.11942) and first released in
|
13 |
+
[this repository](https://github.com/google-research/albert). This model, as all ALBERT models, is uncased: it does not make a difference
|
14 |
+
between english and English.
|
15 |
+
|
16 |
+
Disclaimer: The team releasing ALBERT did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by
|
17 |
+
the Hugging Face team.
|
18 |
+
|
19 |
+
## Model description
|
20 |
+
|
21 |
+
ALBERT is a transformers model pretrained on a large corpus of English data in a self-supervised fashion. This means it
|
22 |
+
was pretrained on the raw texts only, with no humans labelling them in any way (which is why it can use lots of
|
23 |
+
publicly available data) with an automatic process to generate inputs and labels from those texts. More precisely, it
|
24 |
+
was pretrained with two objectives:
|
25 |
+
|
26 |
+
- Masked language modeling (MLM): taking a sentence, the model randomly masks 15% of the words in the input then run
|
27 |
+
the entire masked sentence through the model and has to predict the masked words. This is different from traditional
|
28 |
+
recurrent neural networks (RNNs) that usually see the words one after the other, or from autoregressive models like
|
29 |
+
GPT which internally mask the future tokens. It allows the model to learn a bidirectional representation of the
|
30 |
+
sentence.
|
31 |
+
- Sentence Ordering Prediction (SOP): ALBERT uses a pretraining loss based on predicting the ordering of two consecutive segments of text.
|
32 |
+
|
33 |
+
This way, the model learns an inner representation of the English language that can then be used to extract features
|
34 |
+
useful for downstream tasks: if you have a dataset of labeled sentences for instance, you can train a standard
|
35 |
+
classifier using the features produced by the ALBERT model as inputs.
|
36 |
+
|
37 |
+
ALBERT is particular in that it shares its layers across its Transformer. Therefore, all layers have the same weights. Using repeating layers results in a small memory footprint, however, the computational cost remains similar to a BERT-like architecture with the same number of hidden layers as it has to iterate through the same number of (repeating) layers.
|
38 |
+
|
39 |
+
## Intended uses & limitations
|
40 |
+
|
41 |
+
You can use the raw model for either masked language modeling or next sentence prediction, but it's mostly intended to
|
42 |
+
be fine-tuned on a downstream task. See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?filter=albert) to look for
|
43 |
+
fine-tuned versions on a task that interests you.
|
44 |
+
|
45 |
+
Note that this model is primarily aimed at being fine-tuned on tasks that use the whole sentence (potentially masked)
|
46 |
+
to make decisions, such as sequence classification, token classification or question answering. For tasks such as text
|
47 |
+
generation you should look at model like GPT2.
|
48 |
+
|
49 |
+
### How to use
|
50 |
+
|
51 |
+
You can use this model directly with a pipeline for masked language modeling:
|
52 |
+
|
53 |
+
```python
|
54 |
+
>>> from transformers import pipeline
|
55 |
+
>>> unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='albert-base-v2')
|
56 |
+
>>> unmasker("Hello I'm a [MASK] model.")
|
57 |
+
[
|
58 |
+
{
|
59 |
+
"sequence":"[CLS] hello i'm a modeling model.[SEP]",
|
60 |
+
"score":0.05816134437918663,
|
61 |
+
"token":12807,
|
62 |
+
"token_str":"▁modeling"
|
63 |
+
},
|
64 |
+
{
|
65 |
+
"sequence":"[CLS] hello i'm a modelling model.[SEP]",
|
66 |
+
"score":0.03748830780386925,
|
67 |
+
"token":23089,
|
68 |
+
"token_str":"▁modelling"
|
69 |
+
},
|
70 |
+
{
|
71 |
+
"sequence":"[CLS] hello i'm a model model.[SEP]",
|
72 |
+
"score":0.033725276589393616,
|
73 |
+
"token":1061,
|
74 |
+
"token_str":"▁model"
|
75 |
+
},
|
76 |
+
{
|
77 |
+
"sequence":"[CLS] hello i'm a runway model.[SEP]",
|
78 |
+
"score":0.017313428223133087,
|
79 |
+
"token":8014,
|
80 |
+
"token_str":"▁runway"
|
81 |
+
},
|
82 |
+
{
|
83 |
+
"sequence":"[CLS] hello i'm a lingerie model.[SEP]",
|
84 |
+
"score":0.014405295252799988,
|
85 |
+
"token":29104,
|
86 |
+
"token_str":"▁lingerie"
|
87 |
+
}
|
88 |
+
]
|
89 |
+
```
|
90 |
+
|
91 |
+
Here is how to use this model to get the features of a given text in PyTorch:
|
92 |
+
|
93 |
+
```python
|
94 |
+
from transformers import AlbertTokenizer, AlbertModel
|
95 |
+
tokenizer = AlbertTokenizer.from_pretrained('albert-base-v2')
|
96 |
+
model = AlbertModel.from_pretrained("albert-base-v2")
|
97 |
+
text = "Replace me by any text you'd like."
|
98 |
+
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
|
99 |
+
output = model(**encoded_input)
|
100 |
+
```
|
101 |
+
|
102 |
+
and in TensorFlow:
|
103 |
+
|
104 |
+
```python
|
105 |
+
from transformers import AlbertTokenizer, TFAlbertModel
|
106 |
+
tokenizer = AlbertTokenizer.from_pretrained('albert-base-v2'')
|
107 |
+
model = TFAlbertModel.from_pretrained("albert-base-v2)
|
108 |
+
text = "Replace me by any text you'd like."
|
109 |
+
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='tf')
|
110 |
+
output = model(encoded_input)
|
111 |
+
```
|
112 |
+
|
113 |
+
### Limitations and bias
|
114 |
+
|
115 |
+
Even if the training data used for this model could be characterized as fairly neutral, this model can have biased
|
116 |
+
predictions:
|
117 |
+
|
118 |
+
```python
|
119 |
+
>>> from transformers import pipeline
|
120 |
+
>>> unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='albert-base-v2')
|
121 |
+
>>> unmasker("The man worked as a [MASK].")

}
|
189 |
+
]
|
190 |
+
```
|
191 |
+
|
192 |
+
This bias will also affect all fine-tuned versions of this model.
|
193 |
+
|
194 |
+
## Training data
|
195 |
+
|
196 |
+
The ALBERT model was pretrained on [BookCorpus](https://yknzhu.wixsite.com/mbweb), a dataset consisting of 11,038
|
197 |
+
unpublished books and [English Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Wikipedia) (excluding lists, tables and
|
198 |
+
headers).
|
199 |
+
|
200 |
+
## Training procedure
|
201 |
+
|
202 |
+
### Preprocessing
|
203 |
+
|
204 |
+
The texts are lowercased and tokenized using SentencePiece and a vocabulary size of 30,000. The inputs of the model are
|
205 |
+
then of the form:
|
206 |
+
|
207 |
+
```
|
208 |
+
[CLS] Sentence A [SEP] Sentence B [SEP]
|
209 |
+
```
|
210 |
+
|
211 |
+
### Training
|
212 |
+
|
213 |
+
The ALBERT procedure follows the BERT setup.
|
214 |
+
|
215 |
+
The details of the masking procedure for each sentence are the following:
|
216 |
+
- 15% of the tokens are masked.
|
217 |
+
- In 80% of the cases, the masked tokens are replaced by `[MASK]`.
|
218 |
+
- In 10% of the cases, the masked tokens are replaced by a random token (different) from the one they replace.
|
219 |
+
- In the 10% remaining cases, the masked tokens are left as is.
|
220 |
+
|
221 |
+
## Evaluation results
|
222 |
+
|
223 |
+
When fine-tuned on downstream tasks, the ALBERT models achieve the following results:
|
224 |
+
|
225 |
+
| | Average | SQuAD1.1 | SQuAD2.0 | MNLI | SST-2 | RACE |
