# Chinese GPT2-distil Model
## Model description
The model is used to generate Chinese texts. You can download the model either from the [GPT2-Chinese Github page](https://github.com/Morizeyao/GPT2-Chinese), or via HuggingFace from the link [gpt2-distil-chinese-cluecorpussmall](https://huggingface.co/uer/gpt2-distil-chinese-cluecorpussmall). The model is called GPT2-distil because the configuration of model follows [distilgpt2](https://huggingface.co/distilgpt2), which has 6 layers, 768 dimension, and 12 heads. The pre-training does not involve the supervision of larger models.
## How to use
You can use the model directly with a pipeline for text generation:
```python
>>> from transformers import BertTokenizer, GPT2LMHeadModel, TextGenerationPipeline
>>> tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("uer/gpt2-distil-chinese-cluecorpussmall")
>>> model = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained("uer/gpt2-distil-chinese-cluecorpussmall")
>>> text_generator = TextGenerationPipeline(model, tokenizer)
>>> text_generator("这是很久之前的事情了", max_length=100, do_sample=True)
[{'generated_text': '这是很久之前的事情了 。 我 现 在 想 起 来 就 让 自 己 很 伤 心 , 很 失 望 。 我 现 在 想 到 , 我 觉 得 大 多 数 人 的 生 活 比 我 的 生 命 还 要 重 要 , 对 一 些 事 情 的 看 法 , 对 一 些 人 的 看 法 , 都 是 在 发 泄 。 但 是 , 我 们 的 生 活 是 需 要 一 个 信 用 体 系 的 。 我 不 知'}]
```
## Training data
[CLUECorpusSmall](https://github.com/CLUEbenchmark/CLUECorpus2020/) is used as training data.
## Training procedure
The model is pre-trained by [UER-py](https://github.com/dbiir/UER-py/) on [Tencent Cloud](https://cloud.tencent.com/). We pre-train 1,000,000 steps with a sequence length of 128 and then pre-train 250,000 additional steps with a sequence length of 1024.
Stage1:
```
python3 preprocess.py --corpus_path corpora/cluecorpussmall.txt \
--vocab_path models/google_zh_vocab.txt \
--dataset_path cluecorpussmall_lm_seq128_dataset.pt \
--seq_length 128 --processes_num 32 --data_processor lm
```
```
python3 pretrain.py --dataset_path cluecorpussmall_lm_seq128_dataset.pt \
--vocab_path models/google_zh_vocab.txt \
--config_path models/gpt2/distil_config.json \
--output_model_path models/cluecorpussmall_gpt2_distil_seq128_model.bin \
--world_size 8 --gpu_ranks 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 \
--total_steps 1000000 --save_checkpoint_steps 100000 --report_steps 50000 \
--learning_rate 1e-4 --batch_size 64
```
Stage2:
```
python3 preprocess.py --corpus_path corpora/cluecorpussmall.txt \
--vocab_path models/google_zh_vocab.txt \
--dataset_path cluecorpussmall_lm_seq1024_dataset.pt \
--seq_length 1024 --processes_num 32 --data_processor lm
```
```
python3 pretrain.py --dataset_path cluecorpussmall_lm_seq1024_dataset.pt \
--vocab_path models/google_zh_vocab.txt \
--pretrained_model_path models/cluecorpussmall_gpt2_distil_seq128_model.bin-1000000 \
--config_path models/gpt2/distil_config.json \
--output_model_path models/cluecorpussmall_gpt2_distil_seq1024_model.bin \
--world_size 8 --gpu_ranks 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 \
--total_steps 250000 --save_checkpoint_steps 50000 --report_steps 10000 \
--learning_rate 5e-5 --batch_size 16
```
Finally, we convert the pre-trained model into Huggingface's format:
```
python3 scripts/convert_gpt2_from_uer_to_huggingface.py --input_model_path cluecorpussmall_gpt2_distil_seq1024_model.bin-250000 \
--output_model_path pytorch_model.bin \
--layers_num 6
```
