train_tune_longformer_model: Function for training and fine-tuning a Longformer model

Description

This function can be used to train or fine-tune a transformer based on Longformer architecture with the help of the python libraries 'transformers', 'datasets', and 'tokenizers'.

Usage

train_tune_longformer_model(
  ml_framework = aifeducation_config$get_framework,
  output_dir,
  model_dir_path,
  raw_texts,
  p_mask = 0.15,
  val_size = 0.1,
  n_epoch = 1,
  batch_size = 12,
  chunk_size = 250,
  full_sequences_only = FALSE,
  min_seq_len = 50,
  learning_rate = 0.03,
  n_workers = 1,
  multi_process = FALSE,
  sustain_track = TRUE,
  sustain_iso_code = NULL,
  sustain_region = NULL,
  sustain_interval = 15,
  trace = TRUE,
  keras_trace = 1,
  pytorch_trace = 1,
  pytorch_safetensors = TRUE
)

Value

This function does not return an object. Instead the trained or fine-tuned model is saved to disk.

Arguments

ml_framework

string Framework to use for training and inference. ml_framework="tensorflow" for 'tensorflow' and ml_framework="pytorch" for 'pytorch'.

output_dir

string Path to the directory where the final model should be saved. If the directory does not exist, it will be created.

model_dir_path

string Path to the directory where the original model is stored.

raw_texts

vector containing the raw texts for training.

p_mask

double Ratio determining the number of words/tokens for masking.

val_size

double Ratio determining the amount of token chunks used for validation.

n_epoch

int Number of epochs for training.

batch_size

int Size of batches.

chunk_size

int Size of every chunk for training.

full_sequences_only

bool TRUE for using only chunks with a sequence length equal to chunk_size.

min_seq_len

int Only relevant if full_sequences_only=FALSE. Value determines the minimal sequence length for inclusion in training process.

learning_rate

bool Learning rate for adam optimizer.

n_workers

int Number of workers. Only relevant if ml_framework="tensorflow".

multi_process

bool TRUE if multiple processes should be activated. Only relevant if ml_framework="tensorflow".

sustain_track

bool If TRUE energy consumption is tracked during training via the python library codecarbon.

sustain_iso_code

string ISO code (Alpha-3-Code) for the country. This variable must be set if sustainability should be tracked. A list can be found on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes.

sustain_region

Region within a country. Only available for USA and Canada See the documentation of codecarbon for more information. https://mlco2.github.io/codecarbon/parameters.html

sustain_interval

integer Interval in seconds for measuring power usage.

trace

bool TRUE if information on the progress should be printed to the console.

keras_trace

int keras_trace=0 does not print any information about the training process from keras on the console. keras_trace=1 prints a progress bar. keras_trace=2 prints one line of information for every epoch. Only relevant if ml_framework="tensorflow".

pytorch_trace

int pytorch_trace=0 does not print any information about the training process from pytorch on the console. pytorch_trace=1 prints a progress bar.

pytorch_safetensors

bool If TRUE a 'pytorch' model is saved in safetensors format. If FALSE or 'safetensors' not available it is saved in the standard pytorch format (.bin). Only relevant for pytorch models.
