Adapters

A Unified Library for Parameter-Efficient and Modular Transfer Learning

adapters is an add-on to HuggingFace's Transformers library, integrating adapters into state-of-the-art language models by incorporating AdapterHub, a central repository for pre-trained adapter modules.

Installation

adapters currently supports Python 3.8+ and PyTorch 1.10+. After installing PyTorch, you can install adapters from PyPI ...

pip install -U adapters

... or from source by cloning the repository:

git clone https://github.com/adapter-hub/adapters.git
git checkout adapters
cd adapters
pip install .

Quick Tour

Load pre-trained adapters:

from adapters import AutoAdapterModel
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model = AutoAdapterModel.from_pretrained("roberta-base")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("roberta-base")

model.load_adapter("AdapterHub/roberta-base-pf-imdb", source="hf", set_active=True)

print(model(**tokenizer("This works great!", return_tensors="pt")).logits)

Adapt existing model setups:

import adapters
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification

model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("t5-base")

adapters.init(model)

model.add_adapter("my_lora_adapter", config="lora")
model.train_adapter("my_lora_adapter")

# Your regular training loop...

Flexibly configure adapters:

from adapters import ConfigUnion, PrefixTuningConfig, ParBnConfig, AutoAdapterModel

model = AutoAdapterModel.from_pretrained("microsoft/deberta-v3-base")

adapter_config = ConfigUnion(
    PrefixTuningConfig(prefix_length=20),
    ParBnConfig(reduction_factor=4),
)
model.add_adapter("my_adapter", config=adapter_config, set_active=True)

Learn More

Easily compose adapters in a single model:

from adapters import AdapterSetup, AutoAdapterModel
import adapters.composition as ac

model = AutoAdapterModel.from_pretrained("roberta-base")

qc = model.load_adapter("AdapterHub/roberta-base-pf-trec")
sent = model.load_adapter("AdapterHub/roberta-base-pf-imdb")

with AdapterSetup(ac.Parallel(qc, sent)):
    print(model(**tokenizer("What is AdapterHub?", return_tensors="pt")))

Useful Resources

HuggingFace's great documentation on getting started with Transformers can be found here. adapters is fully compatible with Transformers.

To get started with adapters, refer to these locations:

• Colab notebook tutorials, a series notebooks providing an introduction to all the main concepts of (adapter-)transformers and AdapterHub
• https://docs.adapterhub.ml, our documentation on training and using adapters with adapters
• https://adapterhub.ml to explore available pre-trained adapter modules and share your own adapters
• Examples folder of this repository containing HuggingFace's example training scripts, many adapted for training adapters
