create_bert_classification

composer.models.create_bert_classification(num_labels=2, use_pretrained=False, pretrained_model_name=None, model_config=None, tokenizer_name=None, gradient_checkpointing=False)

BERT classification model based on 🤗 Transformers.

For more information, see Transformers.

Args:

num_labels (int, optional): The number of classes in the classification task. Default: 2. gradient_checkpointing (bool, optional): Use gradient checkpointing. Default: False. use_pretrained (bool, optional): Whether to initialize the model with the pretrained weights. Default: False. model_config (dict): The settings used to create a Hugging Face BertConfig. BertConfig is used to specify the architecture of a Hugging Face model. tokenizer_name (str, optional): Tokenizer name used to preprocess the dataset and validate the models inputs.

To create a BERT model for classification:

from composer.models import create_bert_classification
model = create_bert_classification(num_labels=3) # if the task has three classes.

Note:

This function can be used to construct a BERT model for regression by setting num_labels == 1. This will have two noteworthy effects. First, it will switch the training loss to MSELoss. Second, the returned ComposerModel’s train/validation metrics will be MeanSquaredError and SpearmanCorrCoef.

For the classification case (when num_labels > 1), the training loss is CrossEntropyLoss, and the train/validation metrics are Accuracy and MatthewsCorrCoef, as well as BinaryF1Score if num_labels == 2.
