# [BERT Description](#contents)

The BERT network was proposed by Google in 2018. The network has made a breakthrough in the field of NLP. The network uses pre-training to achieve a large network structure without modifying, and only by adding an output layer to achieve multiple text-based tasks in fine-tuning. The backbone code of BERT adopts the Encoder structure of Transformer. The attention mechanism is introduced to enable the output layer to capture high-latitude global semantic information. The pre-training uses denoising and self-encoding tasks, namely MLM(Masked Language Model) and NSP(Next Sentence Prediction). No need to label data, pre-training can be performed on massive text data, and only a small amount of data to fine-tuning downstream tasks to obtain good results. The pre-training plus fune-tuning mode created by BERT is widely adopted by subsequent NLP networks.

[NEZHA: Neural Contextualized Representation for Chinese Language Understanding](https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.00204). arXiv preprint arXiv:1909.00204.

# [Model Architecture](#contents)

The backbone structure of BERT is transformer. For BERT_base, the transformer contains 12 encoder modules, each module contains one self-attention module and each self-attention module contains one attention module. For BERT_NEZHA, the transformer contains 24 encoder modules, each module contains one self-attention module and each self-attention module contains one attention module. The difference between BERT_base and BERT_NEZHA is that BERT_base uses absolute position encoding to produce position embedding vector and BERT_NEZHA uses relative position encoding.

# [Dataset](#contents)

- Download the zhwiki or enwiki dataset for pre-training. Extract and refine texts in the dataset with [WikiExtractor](https://github.com/attardi/wikiextractor). Convert the dataset to TFRecord format. Please refer to create_pretraining_data.py file in [BERT](https://github.com/google-research/bert) repository.
- Download dataset for fine-tuning and evaluation such as CLUENER, TNEWS, SQuAD v1.1, etc. Convert dataset files from JSON format to TFRECORD format, please refer to run_classifier.py file in [BERT](https://github.com/google-research/bert) repository.

# [Quick Start](#contents)

After installing MindSpore via the official website, you can start pre-training, fine-tuning and evaluation as follows:

```bash
# run standalone pre-training example
bash scripts/run_standalone_pretrain_ascend.sh 0 1 /path/cn-wiki-128

# run distributed pre-training example
bash scripts/run_distributed_pretrain_ascend.sh /path/cn-wiki-128 /path/hccl.json

# run fine-tuning and evaluation example
- If you are going to run a fine-tuning task, please prepare a checkpoint generated from pre-training.
- Set bert network config and optimizer hyperparameters in `finetune_eval_config.py`.

- Classification task: Set task related hyperparameters in scripts/run_classifier.sh.
- Run `bash scripts/run_classifier.py` for fine-tuning of BERT-base and BERT-NEZHA model.

  bash scripts/run_classifier.sh

- NER task: Set task related hyperparameters in scripts/run_ner.sh.
- Run `bash scripts/run_ner.py` for fine-tuning of BERT-base and BERT-NEZHA model.

  bash scripts/run_ner.sh

- SQuAD task: Set task related hyperparameters in scripts/run_squad.sh.
- Run `bash scripts/run_squad.py` for fine-tuning of BERT-base and BERT-NEZHA model.

  bash scripts/run_squad.sh
```

For distributed training, an hccl configuration file with JSON format needs to be created in advance.

For distributed training on single machine, [here](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/tree/master/config/hccl_single_machine_multi_rank.json) is an example hccl.json.

For distributed training among multiple machines, training command should be executed on each machine in a small time interval. Thus, an hccl.json is needed on each machine. [here](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/tree/master/config/hccl_multi_machine_multi_rank.json) is an example of hccl.json for multi-machine case.

Please follow the instructions in the link below to create an hccl.json file in need:
[https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/tree/master/model_zoo/utils/hccl_tools](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/tree/master/model_zoo/utils/hccl_tools).

For dataset, if you want to set the format and parameters, a schema configuration file with JSON format needs to be created, please refer to [tfrecord](https://www.mindspore.cn/doc/programming_guide/zh-CN/master/dataset_loading.html#tfrecord) format.

```text
For pretraining, schema file contains ["input_ids", "input_mask", "segment_ids", "next_sentence_labels", "masked_lm_positions", "masked_lm_ids", "masked_lm_weights"].

For ner or classification task, schema file contains ["input_ids", "input_mask", "segment_ids", "label_ids"].

For squad task, training: schema file contains ["start_positions", "end_positions", "input_ids", "input_mask", "segment_ids"], evaluation: schema file contains ["input_ids", "input_mask", "segment_ids"].

`numRows` is the only option which could be set by user, other values must be set according to the dataset.

For example, the schema file of cn-wiki-128 dataset for pretraining shows as follows:
{
    "datasetType": "TF",
    "numRows": 7680,
    "columns": {
        "input_ids": {
            "type": "int64",
            "rank": 1,
            "shape": [128]
        },
        "input_mask": {
            "type": "int64",
            "rank": 1,
            "shape": [128]
        },
        "segment_ids": {
            "type": "int64",
            "rank": 1,
            "shape": [128]
        },
        "next_sentence_labels": {
            "type": "int64",
            "rank": 1,
            "shape": [1]
        },
        "masked_lm_positions": {
            "type": "int64",
            "rank": 1,
            "shape": [20]
        },
        "masked_lm_ids": {
            "type": "int64",
            "rank": 1,
            "shape": [20]
        },
        "masked_lm_weights": {
            "type": "float32",
            "rank": 1,
            "shape": [20]
        }

## [Training Process](#contents)

### Training

#### Running on Ascend

```bash
bash scripts/run_standalone_pretrain_ascend.sh 0 1 /path/cn-wiki-128
```

The command above will run in the background, you can view training logs in pretraining_log.txt. After training finished, you will get some checkpoint files under the script folder by default. The loss values will be displayed as follows:

```text
# grep "epoch" pretraining_log.txt
epoch: 0.0, current epoch percent: 0.000, step: 1, outpus are (Tensor(shape=[1], dtype=Float32, [ 1.0856101e+01]), Tensor(shape=[], dtype=Bool, False), Tensor(shape=[], dtype=Float32, 65536))
epoch: 0.0, current epoch percent: 0.000, step: 2, outpus are (Tensor(shape=[1], dtype=Float32, [ 1.0821701e+01]), Tensor(shape=[], dtype=Bool, False), Tensor(shape=[], dtype=Float32, 65536))
...
```

> **Attention** If you are running with a huge dataset, it's better to add an external environ variable to make sure the hccl won't timeout.
>
> ```bash
> export HCCL_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=600
> ```
>
> This will extend the timeout limits of hccl from the default 120 seconds to 600 seconds.
> **Attention** If you are running with a big bert model, some error of protobuf may occurs while saving checkpoints, try with the following environ set.
>
> ```bash
> export PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python
> ```

### Distributed Training

#### Running on Ascend

```bash
bash scripts/run_distributed_pretrain_ascend.sh /path/cn-wiki-128 /path/hccl.json
```

The command above will run in the background, you can view training logs in pretraining_log.txt. After training finished, you will get some checkpoint files under the LOG* folder by default. The loss value will be displayed as follows:

```bash
# grep "epoch" LOG*/pretraining_log.txt
epoch: 0.0, current epoch percent: 0.001, step: 100, outpus are (Tensor(shape=[1], dtype=Float32, [ 1.08209e+01]), Tensor(shape=[], dtype=Bool, False), Tensor(shape=[], dtype=Float32, 65536))
epoch: 0.0, current epoch percent: 0.002, step: 200, outpus are (Tensor(shape=[1], dtype=Float32, [ 1.07566e+01]), Tensor(shape=[], dtype=Bool, False), Tensor(shape=[], dtype=Float32, 65536))
...
epoch: 0.0, current epoch percent: 0.001, step: 100, outpus are (Tensor(shape=[1], dtype=Float32, [ 1.08218e+01]), Tensor(shape=[], dtype=Bool, False), Tensor(shape=[], dtype=Float32, 65536))
epoch: 0.0, current epoch percent: 0.002, step: 200, outpus are (Tensor(shape=[1], dtype=Float32, [ 1.07770e+01]), Tensor(shape=[], dtype=Bool, False), Tensor(shape=[], dtype=Float32, 65536))
...
```

> **Attention** This will bind the processor cores according to the `device_num` and total processor numbers. If you don't expect to run pretraining with binding processor cores, remove the operations about `taskset` in `scripts/ascend_distributed_launcher/get_distribute_pretrain_cmd.py`

# [Description of Random Situation](#contents)

In run_standalone_pretrain.sh and run_distributed_pretrain.sh, we set do_shuffle to True to shuffle the dataset by default.

In run_classifier.sh, run_ner.sh and run_squad.sh, we set train_data_shuffle and eval_data_shuffle to True to shuffle the dataset by default.

In config.py, we set the hidden_dropout_prob and attention_pros_dropout_prob to 0.1 to dropout some network node by default.

In run_pretrain.py, we set a random seed to make sure that each node has the same initial weight in distribute training.
