# MultiBERTs Seed 0 Checkpoint 1200k (uncased) |
|
Seed 0 intermediate checkpoint 1200k MultiBERTs (pretrained BERT) model on English language using a masked language modeling (MLM) objective. It was introduced in |
|
[this paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.16163.pdf) and first released in |
|
[this repository](https://github.com/google-research/language/tree/master/language/multiberts). This is an intermediate checkpoint. |
|
The final checkpoint can be found at [multiberts-seed-0](https://hf.co/multberts-seed-0). This model is uncased: it does not make a difference |
|
between english and English. |
|
|
|
Disclaimer: The team releasing MultiBERTs did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by [gchhablani](https://hf.co/gchhablani). |

|
## Model description |
|
MultiBERTs models are transformers model pretrained on a large corpus of English data in a self-supervised fashion. This means it |
|
was pretrained on the raw texts only, with no humans labelling them in any way (which is why it can use lots of |
|
publicly available data) with an automatic process to generate inputs and labels from those texts. More precisely, it |
|
was pretrained with two objectives: |
|
- Masked language modeling (MLM): taking a sentence, the model randomly masks 15% of the words in the input then run |
|
the entire masked sentence through the model and has to predict the masked words. This is different from traditional |
|
recurrent neural networks (RNNs) that usually see the words one after the other, or from autoregressive models like |
|
GPT which internally mask the future tokens. It allows the model to learn a bidirectional representation of the |
|
sentence. |
|
- Next sentence prediction (NSP): the models concatenates two masked sentences as inputs during pretraining. Sometimes |
|
they correspond to sentences that were next to each other in the original text, sometimes not. The model then has to |
|
predict if the two sentences were following each other or not. |
|
This way, the model learns an inner representation of the English language that can then be used to extract features |
|
useful for downstream tasks: if you have a dataset of labeled sentences for instance, you can train a standard |
|
classifier using the features produced by the MultiBERTs model as inputs. |
|
|
|
## Intended uses & limitations |
|
You can use the raw model for either masked language modeling or next sentence prediction, but it's mostly intended to |
|
be fine-tuned on a downstream task. See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?filter=multiberts) to look for |
|
fine-tuned versions on a task that interests you. |
|
Note that this model is primarily aimed at being fine-tuned on tasks that use the whole sentence (potentially masked) |
|
to make decisions, such as sequence classification, token classification or question answering. For tasks such as text |
|
generation you should look at model like GPT2. |
|
|
|
### How to use |
|
Here is how to use this model to get the features of a given text in PyTorch: |
|
```python |
|
from transformers import BertTokenizer, BertModel |
|
tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('multiberts-seed-0-1200k') |
|
model = BertModel.from_pretrained("multiberts-seed-0-1200k") |
|
text = "Replace me by any text you'd like." |
|
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt') |
|
output = model(**encoded_input) |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### Limitations and bias |
|
Even if the training data used for this model could be characterized as fairly neutral, this model can have biased |
|
predictions. This bias will also affect all fine-tuned versions of this model. For an understanding of bias of this particular |
|
checkpoint, please try out this checkpoint with the snippet present in the [Limitation and bias section](https://huggingface.co/bert-base-uncased#limitations-and-bias) of the [bert-base-uncased](https://huggingface.co/bert-base-uncased) checkpoint. |
|
|
|
## Training data |
|
The MultiBERTs models were pretrained on [BookCorpus](https://yknzhu.wixsite.com/mbweb), a dataset consisting of 11,038 |
|
unpublished books and [English Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Wikipedia) (excluding lists, tables and |
|
headers). |
|
## Training procedure |
|
|
|
### Preprocessing |
|
The texts are lowercased and tokenized using WordPiece and a vocabulary size of 30,000. The inputs of the model are |
|
then of the form: |
|
``` |
|
[CLS] Sentence A [SEP] Sentence B [SEP] |
|
``` |
|
With probability 0.5, sentence A and sentence B correspond to two consecutive sentences in the original corpus and in |
|
the other cases, it's another random sentence in the corpus. Note that what is considered a sentence here is a |
|
consecutive span of text usually longer than a single sentence. The only constrain is that the result with the two |
|
"sentences" has a combined length of less than 512 tokens. |
|
The details of the masking procedure for each sentence are the following: |
|
- 15% of the tokens are masked. |
|
- In 80% of the cases, the masked tokens are replaced by `[MASK]`. |
|
- In 10% of the cases, the masked tokens are replaced by a random token (different) from the one they replace. |
|
- In the 10% remaining cases, the masked tokens are left as is. |
|
|
|
### Pretraining |
|
The full model was trained on 16 Cloud TPU v2 chips for two million steps with a batch size |
|
of 256. The sequence length was set to 512 throughout. The optimizer |
|
used is Adam with a learning rate of 1e-4, \\(\beta_{1} = 0.9\\) and \\(\beta_{2} = 0.999\\), a weight decay of 0.01, |
|
learning rate warmup for 10,000 steps and linear decay of the learning rate after. |
