This repo has the code for training models and tokenizers on the olm data, but it should work with any Hugging Face dataset with text examples. You can see the models for the OLM project here: https://huggingface.co/olm. They actually get better performance than their original static counterparts.
Here is an example of how to tokenize the datasets and train a tokenizer:
python create_tokenizer.py --input_dataset_names Tristan/olm-wikipedia-20221001 Tristan/olm-CC-MAIN-2022-40-sampling-ratio-0.15894621295 Tristan/olm-CC-MAIN-2022-21-sampling-ratio-0.14775510204 Tristan/olm-CC-MAIN-2022-27-sampling-ratio-0.16142697881 Tristan/olm-CC-MAIN-2022-33-sampling-ratio-0.20 --existing_tokenizer_template roberta-base --output_tokenizer_name Tristan/olm-tokenizer --text_column text --push_to_hub

We already have a trained tokenizer and tokenized datasets here
Training a BERT/RoBERTa model from scratch on 410B tokens (this is the 100k step option in the RoBERTa paper, which uses about the same compute as the original BERT used)
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=16 train_model.py --lm_type=mlm --dataset_id=Tristan/olm-october-2022-tokenized-512 --repository_id=Tristan/olm-roberta-base-oct-2022 --tokenizer_id=Tristan/olm-tokenizer --model_config_id=roberta-base --adam_beta2=0.98 --adam_epsilon=1e-6 --adam_beta1=0.9 --warmup_steps=24000 --max_steps=100000 --per_device_train_batch_size=20 --gradient_accumulation_steps=25 --learning_rate=6e-4Note that the best hyperparameters are sensitive to both model architecture and scale. We found these hyperparameters to work well for the roberta-base model, but they may not work as well for e.g. roberta-large, or another architecture entirely.
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=16 train_model.py --lm_type=clm --dataset_id=Tristan/olm-october-2022-tokenized-1024 --repository_id=Tristan/olm-gpt2-oct-2022 --tokenizer_id=Tristan/olm-tokenizer --model_config_id=gpt2 --max_steps=580000 --learning_rate=1e-3 --warmup_steps=725 --adam_beta1=0.9 --adam_beta2=0.95 --adam_epsilon=1e-7 --weight_decay=0.1 --lr_scheduler_type=cosine --per_device_train_batch_size=8 --gradient_accumulation_steps=4Note that the best hyperparameters are sensitive to both model architecture and scale. We found these hyperparameters to work well for the gpt2 model, but they may not work as well for e.g. gpt2-large, or another architecture entirely.
Note that it is also possible to train T5, although we haven't tuned the hyperparameters and we aren't trainig the T5 ourselves for the OLM project. If you want to train T5, you would specify arguments like this (but please take the time to find good hyperparameters yourself!).
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=16 train_model.py --lm_type=t5 --dataset_id=Tristan/olm-october-2022-tokenized-568 --repository_id=Tristan/olm-t5-small-oct-2022 --tokenizer_id=Tristan/olm-t5-tokenizer --model_config_id=t5-small --adam_beta2=0.98 --adam_epsilon=1e-6 --adam_beta1=0.9 --warmup_steps=24000 --max_steps=100000 --per_device_train_batch_size=20 --gradient_accumulation_steps=25 --learning_rate=6e-4Also note:
- If you want your T5 to have an input length of 512, you need to pass it a tokenized dataset with examples of length 568. This is because the T5 denoising pretraining objective turns several tokens into one token, so the 568 tokens will be turned into 512 tokens before they are passed into the model.
- You should train a separate OLM tokenizer with the
create_tokenizer.pyscript above, and it should be based on the T5 tokenizer template to ensure that the tokenizer has the special denoising characters (e.g., just make--existing_tokenizer_template=t5-small).
Our train_model.py script is compatible with DeepSpeed, enabling you to train big models (which do not fit on a single GPU) accross a cluster of nodes. Just specify --deepspeed=<path to your deepspeed config> in the train_model.py arguments to use it. An example of a DeepSpeed config that you could use is here
To train both our OLM GPT2 and OLM BERT/RoBERTa, we use a machine with 16 40GB A100's and around 1 TB of disk space. Each model takes about 5-6 days to train with this machine.
