.AIFEDebertaTransformer: Child R6 class for creation and training of DeBERTa-V2 transformers

Description

This class has the following methods:

• create: creates a new transformer based on DeBERTa-V2.

• train: trains and fine-tunes a DeBERTa-V2 model.

Create

New models can be created using the .AIFEDebertaTransformer$create method.

Train

To train the model, pass the directory of the model to the method .AIFEDebertaTransformer$train.

Pre-Trained models which can be fine-tuned with this function are available at https://huggingface.co/.

Training of this model makes use of dynamic masking.

Method new()

Creates a new transformer based on DeBERTa-V2 and sets the title.

Usage

.AIFEDebertaTransformer$new()

Returns

This method returns nothing.

---

Method create()

This method creates a transformer configuration based on the DeBERTa-V2 base architecture and a vocabulary based on the SentencePiece tokenizer using the python transformers and tokenizers libraries.

This method adds the following 'dependent' parameters to the base class's inherited params list:

• vocab_do_lower_case

  max_position_embeddings = 512,
  hidden_size = 1536,
  num_hidden_layer = 24,
  num_attention_heads = 24,
  intermediate_size = 6144,
  hidden_act = "gelu",
  hidden_dropout_prob = 0.1,
  attention_probs_dropout_prob = 0.1,
  sustain_track = TRUE,
  sustain_iso_code = NULL,
  sustain_region = NULL,
  sustain_interval = 15,
  trace = TRUE,
  pytorch_safetensors = TRUE,
  log_dir = NULL,
  log_write_interval = 2
)

vocab_size

int Size of the vocabulary.

vocab_do_lower_case

bool TRUE if all words/tokens should be lower case.

max_position_embeddings

int Number of maximum position embeddings. This parameter also determines the maximum length of a sequence which can be processed with the model.

hidden_size

int Number of neurons in each layer. This parameter determines the dimensionality of the resulting text embedding.

num_hidden_layer

int Number of hidden layers.

num_attention_heads

int Number of attention heads.

int Number of neurons in the intermediate layer of the attention mechanism.

hidden_act

string Name of the activation function.

attention_probs_dropout_prob

double Ratio of dropout for attention probabilities.

sustain_track

bool If TRUE energy consumption is tracked during training via the python library codecarbon.

sustain_iso_code

string ISO code (Alpha-3-Code) for the country. This variable must be set if sustainability should be tracked. A list can be found on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes.

sustain_region

string Region within a country. Only available for USA and Canada. See the documentation of codecarbon for more information https://mlco2.github.io/codecarbon/parameters.html.

sustain_interval

integer Interval in seconds for measuring power usage.

trace

bool TRUE if information about the progress should be printed to the console.

pytorch_safetensors

bool Only relevant for pytorch models.

• TRUE: a 'pytorch' model is saved in safetensors format.

• FALSE (or 'safetensors' is not available): model is saved in the standard pytorch format (.bin).

log_dir

Path to the directory where the log files should be saved.

log_write_interval

int Time in seconds determining the interval in which the logger should try to update the log files. Only relevant if log_dir is not NULL.

Returns

This method does not return an object. Instead, it saves the configuration and vocabulary of the new model to disk.
