GPT-2 small Japanese model

This repository contains a GPT2-small model trained on Japanese Wikipedia dataset.

Training data

Japanese Wikipedia dataset as of Aug20, 2021 released under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 is used for both tokenizer and GPT-2 model.

We splitted the dataset into three subsets - train, valid and test sets. Both tokenizer and model were trained on the train set. Train set contains around 540M tokens.

Model description

The model architecture is the same as GPT-2 small model (n_ctx: 1024, n_embd 768, n_head: 12, n_layer: 12) except for a vocabulary size. The vocabulary size is set to 32,000 instead of an original size of 50,257. transformers.GPT2LMHeadModel is used for training.

Tokenizer description

SentencePiece is used as a tokenizer for this model.

We utilized 1,000,000 sentences from train set. The vocabulary size was 32,000. A add_dummy_prefix option was set to True because Japanese words are not separated by whitespaces.

After training, the tokenizer model was imported as transformers.BERTGenerationTokenizer because it supports SentencePiece models and it does not add any special tokens as default, which is useful expecially for a text generation task.

Training

The model was trained on the train set for 30 epochs with batch size 32. Each sample contained 1024 tokens.

We utilized Adam optimizer. Learning rate was linearly increased from 0 to 1e-4 during the first 10,000 steps. A clip norm was set to 1.0 .

Test set perplexity of the trained model was 29.13.

Please refer to GitHub for more training details.

Usage

First, install dependecies.

$ pip install transformers==4.10.0 torch==1.8.1 sentencepiece==0.1.96

Then use pipeline to generate sentences.

>>> import transformers
>>> pipeline = transformers.pipeline("text-generation", "colorfulscoop/gpt2-small-ja")
>>> pipeline("統計的機械学習でのニューラルネットワーク", do_sample=True, top_p=0.95, top_k=50, num_return_sequences=3)

Note: The default model configuration config.json sets parameters for text generation with do_sample=True , top_k=50 , top_p=0.95 . Please set these parameters when you need to use different parameters.

Versions

We recommend to specify revision to load the model for reproducibility.

You can specify revision as follows.

# Example of pipeline
>>> transformers.pipeline("text-generation", "colorfulscoop/gpt2-small-ja", revision="20210820.1.0")
# Example of AutoModel
>>> transformers.AutoModel.from_pretrained("colorfulscoop/gpt2-small-ja", revision="20210820.1.0")
