A TensorFlow 2.0 Keras implementation of BERT.

Project description

Build Status Coverage Status Version Status Python Versions

This repo contains a TensorFlow 2.0 Keras implementation of google-research/bert with support for loading of the original pre-trained weights, and producing activations numerically identical to the one calculated by the original model.

The implementation is build from scratch using only basic tensorflow operations, following the code in google-research/bert/modeling.py (but skipping dead code and applying some simplifications). It also utilizes kpe/params-flow to reduce common Keras boilerplate code (related to passing model and layer configuration arguments).

bert-for-tf2 should work with both TensorFlow 2.0 and TensorFlow 1.14 or newer.

NEWS

  • 25.Jul.2019 - there are now two colab notebooks under examples/ showing how to fine-tune an IMDB Movie Reviews sentiment classifier from pre-trained BERT weights using an adapter-BERT model architecture on a GPU or TPU in Google Colab.

  • 28.Jun.2019 - v.0.3.0 supports adapter-BERT (google-research/adapter-bert) for “Parameter-Efficient Transfer Learning for NLP”, i.e. fine-tuning small overlay adapter layers over BERT’s transformer encoders without changing the frozen BERT weights.

Install

bert-for-tf2 is on the Python Package Index (PyPI):

pip install bert-for-tf2

Usage

BERT in bert-for-tf2 is implemented as a Keras layer. You could instantiate it like this:

from bert import BertModelLayer

l_bert = BertModelLayer(BertModelLayer.Params(
  vocab_size               = 16000,        # embedding params
  use_token_type           = True,
  use_position_embeddings  = True,
  token_type_vocab_size    = 2,

  num_layers               = 12,           # transformer encoder params
  hidden_size              = 768,
  hidden_dropout           = 0.1,
  intermediate_size        = 4*768,
  intermediate_activation  = "gelu",

  adapter_size             = None,         # see arXiv:1902.00751

  name                     = "bert"        # any other Keras layer params
))

or by using the bert_config.json from a pre-trained google model:

import os
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.python import keras
from bert import BertModelLayer
from bert.loader import StockBertConfig, load_stock_weights

model_dir = ".models/uncased_L-12_H-768_A-12"

bert_config_file = os.path.join(model_dir, "bert_config.json")
bert_ckpt_file   = os.path.join(model_dir, "bert_model.ckpt")

with tf.io.gfile.GFile(bert_config_file, "r") as reader:
  stock_params = StockBertConfig.from_json_string(reader.read())
  bert_params  = stock_params.to_bert_model_layer_params()

l_bert = BertModelLayer.from_params(bert_params, name="bert")

now you can use the BERT layer in your Keras model like this:

from tensorflow.python import keras

max_seq_len = 128
l_input_ids      = keras.layers.Input(shape=(max_seq_len,), dtype='int32')
l_token_type_ids = keras.layers.Input(shape=(max_seq_len,), dtype='int32')

output = l_bert([l_input_ids, l_token_type_ids])  # [batch_size, max_seq_len, hidden_size]

and build (or compile) your model:

model = keras.Model(inputs=[l_input_ids, l_token_type_ids], outputs=output)
model.build(input_shape=[(None, max_seq_len), (None, max_seq_len)])

before loading the original pre-trained weights into the BERT layer:

from bert.loader import load_stock_weights

load_stock_weights(l_bert, bert_ckpt_file)

N.B. see tests/test_bert_activations.py for a complete example.
