ALBERT: A Lite BERT for Self-supervised Learning of Language Representations (Lan et al.)
Implementation of the ALBERT language model (https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.11942 Lan, Chen, Goodman, Gimpel, Sharma, Soricut, 2019).
This model offers a greatly reduced memory footprint for similar effective size (number and size of layers). The computational cost remains however similar to the original BERT model.
The base model is implemented in the albert::AlbertModel
struct. Several language model heads have also been implemented, including:
- Masked language model:
albert::AlbertForMaskedLM
- Multiple choices:
albert:AlbertForMultipleChoice
- Question answering:
albert::AlbertForQuestionAnswering
- Sequence classification:
albert::AlbertForSequenceClassification
- Token classification (e.g. NER, POS tagging):
albert::AlbertForTokenClassification
Model set-up and pre-trained weights loading
A full working example is provided in examples/albert.rs
, run with cargo run --example albert
.
The example below illustrate a Masked language model example, the structure is similar for other models.
All models expect the following resources:
- Configuration file expected to have a structure following the Transformers library
- Model weights are expected to have a structure and parameter names following the Transformers library. A conversion using the Python utility scripts is required to convert the
.bin
weights to the.ot
format. BertTokenizer
using avocab.txt
vocabulary Pretrained models are available and can be downloaded using RemoteResources.
