BERT Example

Description

This example implements pre-training, fine-tuning and evaluation of BERT-base(the base version of BERT model) and BERT-NEZHA(a Chinese pretrained language model developed by Huawei, which introduced a improvement of Functional Relative Positional Encoding as an effective positional encoding scheme).

Requirements

Install MindSpore.
Download the zhwiki dataset for pre-training. Extract and clean text in the dataset with WikiExtractor. Convert the dataset to TFRecord format and move the files to a specified path.
Download the CLUE/SQuAD v1.1 dataset for fine-tuning and evaluation.

Notes: If you are running a fine-tuning or evaluation task, prepare the corresponding checkpoint file.

Running the Example

Pre-Training

Set options in config.py, including lossscale, optimizer and network. Click here for more information about dataset and the json schema file.
Run run_standalone_pretrain.sh for non-distributed pre-training of BERT-base and BERT-NEZHA model.
```
sh scripts/run_standalone_pretrain.sh DEVICE_ID EPOCH_SIZE DATA_DIR SCHEMA_DIR
```

Run run_distribute_pretrain.sh for distributed pre-training of BERT-base and BERT-NEZHA model.

sh scripts/run_distribute_pretrain.sh DEVICE_NUM EPOCH_SIZE DATA_DIR SCHEMA_DIR MINDSPORE_HCCL_CONFIG_PATH

Fine-Tuning

Set options in finetune_config.py. Make sure the 'data_file', 'schema_file' and 'pre_training_file' are set to your own path. Set the 'pre_training_ckpt' to a saved checkpoint file generated after pre-training.
Run finetune.py for fine-tuning of BERT-base and BERT-NEZHA model.
```
python finetune.py
```

Evaluation

Set options in evaluation_config.py. Make sure the 'data_file', 'schema_file' and 'finetune_ckpt' are set to your own path.
NER: Run evaluation.py for evaluation of BERT-base and BERT-NEZHA model.
```
python evaluation.py
```
SQuAD v1.1: Run squadeval.py and SQuAD_postprocess.py for evaluation of BERT-base and BERT-NEZHA model.
```
python squadeval.py
```
```
