AllenNLP integration for Shiba: Japanese CANINE model

Allennlp Integration for Shiba

allennlp-shiab-model is a Python library that provides AllenNLP integration for shiba-model.

SHIBA is an approximate reimplementation of CANINE [1] in raw Pytorch, pretrained on the Japanese wikipedia corpus using random span masking. If you are unfamiliar with CANINE, you can think of it as a very efficient (approximately 4x as efficient) character-level BERT model. Of course, the name SHIBA comes from the identically named Japanese canine.

Installation

Installing the library and dependencies is simple using pip.

pip install allennlp-shiba

Example

This library enables users to specify the in a jsonnet config file. Here is an example of the model in jsonnet config file:

{
    "dataset_reader": {
        "tokenizer": {
            "type": "shiba",
        },
        "token_indexers": {
            "tokens": {
                "type": "shiba",
            }
        },
    },
    "model": {
        "shiba_embedder": {
            "type": "basic",
            "token_embedders": {
                "shiba": {
                    "type": "shiba",
                    "eval_model": true,
                }
            }

        }
    }
}
