ERNIE-Pytorch

This project is to convert ERNIE from paddlepaddle to huggingface's format (in Pytorch).

News: ERNIE has been merged into huggingface/transformers@v4.22.0 !!

Get Started

pip install --upgrade transformers

Take ernie-1.0-base-zh as an example:

from transformers import BertTokenizer, ErnieModel

tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("nghuyong/ernie-1.0-base-zh")
model = ErnieModel.from_pretrained("nghuyong/ernie-1.0-base-zh")

Supported Models

ernie-1.0-base-zh	Chinese	Layer:12, Heads:12, Hidden:768
ernie-2.0-base-en	English	Layer:12, Heads:12, Hidden:768
ernie-2.0-large-en	English	Layer:24, Heads:16, Hidden:1024

ernie-3.0-medium-zh	Chinese	Layer:6, Heads:12, Hidden:768
ernie-3.0-mini-zh	Chinese	Layer:6, Heads:12, Hidden:384
ernie-3.0-micro-zh	Chinese	Layer:4, Heads:12, Hidden:384

You can find all the supported models from huggingface's model hub: huggingface.co/nghuyong, and model details from paddle's official repo: PaddleNLP and ERNIE.

Details

I want to convert the model from paddle version by myself 😉

The following will take ernie-1.0-base-zh as an example to show how to convert.

1. Download the paddle-paddle version ERNIE model. Execute the following code

import paddlenlp
tokenizer = paddlenlp.transformers.ErnieTokenizer.from_pretrained("ernie-1.0-base-zh")
model = paddlenlp.transformers.ErnieForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("ernie-1.0-base-zh")

And then you will get the model in ~/.paddlenlp/models/ernie-1.0-base-zh/, move to this project path.

2. pip install -r requirements.txt
3. python convert.py
4. Now, a folder named convert will be in the project path, and there will be three files in this folder: config.json,pytorch_model.bin and vocab.txt.

I want to check the calculation results before and after model conversion 😁

python test.py --task logit_check

You will get the output:

huggingface result
pool output: [-1.         -1.          0.9981035  -0.9996652  -0.78173476 -1.          -0.9994901   0.97012603  0.85954666  0.9854131 ]

paddle result
pool output: [-0.99999976 -0.99999976  0.9981028  -0.9996651  -0.7815545  -0.99999976  -0.9994898   0.97014064  0.8594844   0.985419  ]

It can be seen that the result of our convert version is the same with the official paddlepaddle's version.

I want to reproduce the cloze test in ERNIE1.0's paper 😆

python test.py --task cloze_check

You will get the output:

huggingface result

predict result:	 ['西', '游', '记', '是', '中', '国', '神', '魔', '小', '说', '的', '经', '典', '之', '作', '，', '与', '《', '三', '国', '演', '义', '》', '《', '水', '浒', '传', '》', '《', '红', '楼', '梦', '》', '并', '称', '为', '中', '国', '古', '典', '四', '大', '名', '著', '。']
