Generating Ukrainian Fiction with GPT-2

Dec 18, 2022 | Educational

In this blog, we will explore how to generate text using the GPT-2 model trained on Ukrainian fiction. This innovative tool allows you to create compelling narratives seamlessly, leveraging the analytics of AI-driven text generation. The model has been specifically trained on a rich corpus of Ukrainian fiction, making it suitable for producing unique output in the same genre.

Understanding the Model

The GPT-2 model we’re using is the 124M variant and has been trained on a total of 4040 fiction books, comprising approximately 2.77 GiB of data. During evaluation, it demonstrated a perplexity value of 50.16 on the brown-uk corpus, showcasing its effectiveness in generating coherent Ukrainian literary texts.

How to Use the Model

To harness the capabilities of the model, follow these steps:

  1. Install the Necessary Libraries: Make sure you have the Hugging Face Transformers library installed. You can do this via pip:
  2. pip install transformers
  3. Import the Libraries: You will need to import the AlbertTokenizer and GPT2LMHeadModel from the transformers library to start using the model. Here’s how:
  4. from transformers import AlbertTokenizer, GPT2LMHeadModel
  5. Load the Tokenizer and Model: Set up the tokenizer and model with pre-trained weights:
  6. tokenizer = AlbertTokenizer.from_pretrained("Tereveni-AIgpt2-124M-uk-fiction")
    model = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained("Tereveni-AIgpt2-124M-uk-fiction")
  7. Prepare Your Input: Define the text prompt that you would like to expand upon. For example:
  8. input_ids = tokenizer.encode("Но зла Юнона, суча дочка,", add_special_tokens=False, return_tensors="pt")
  9. Generate the Output: Now it’s time to generate your creative output!
  10. outputs = model.generate(
        input_ids,
        do_sample=True,
        num_return_sequences=3,
        max_length=50
    )
    
    for i, out in enumerate(outputs):
        print(f"{i}: {tokenizer.decode(out)}")

What to Expect

When you run the above code, you should see something like this:

0: Но зла Юнона, суча дочка, яка затьмарила всі її таємниці: І хто зїсть її душу, той помре. І, не дочекавшись гніву богів, посунула в пітьму, щоб не бачити перед собою. Але, за
1: Но зла Юнона, суча дочка, і довела мене до божевілля. Але він не знав нічого. Після того як я його побачив, мені стало зле. Я втратив рівновагу. Але в мене не було часу на роздуми. Я вже втратив надію
2: Но зла Юнона, суча дочка, не нарікала нам! — раптом вигукнула Юнона. — Це ти, старий йолопе! — мовила вона, не перестаючи сміятись. — Хіба ти не знаєш, що мені подобається ходити з тобою?

This output reflects the model’s ability to generate distinctive Ukrainian prose. Each generated line contributes to a narrative that retains coherence and depth.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

While using the model, you might encounter a few common issues. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

  • Issue: Import Errors – If you face any import errors, ensure that the transformers library is correctly installed.
  • Issue: Model Not Found – Ensure you have the correct model identifier when calling from_pretrained. The identifier is case-sensitive.
  • Issue: Tokenization Errors – Ensure your input text is appropriately formatted to avoid issues during tokenization. Missing syntax or incorrect format can lead to exceptions.
