In this article, we will guide you through the process of fine-tuning the Kykimbert-Kor-Base model as a dense passage retrieval context encoder using the KLUE dataset. This will provide a structured approach that allows for effective retrieval based on the information presented in the Korean Wikipedia Corpus. Let’s dive into the specifics!

Understanding Dense Passage Retrieval

Dense Passage Retrieval (DPR) is akin to a skilled librarian who can instantly find the right book from an unending library filled with millions of volumes. Instead of scattering through pages, the librarian knows precisely where to look, saving time and ensuring accuracy. We will emulate this librarian’s precision using the Kykimbert-Kor-Base model enhanced by specialized training strategies.

Training Strategy Overview

• Pretrained Model: Kykimbert-Kor-Base
• Inverse Cloze Task: 16 Epoch using the KorQuad v1.0 and KLUE MRC datasets
• In-batch Negatives: 12 Epoch leveraging the KLUE MRC dataset with random sampling among the top 100 passages per query from Sparse Retrieval (TF-IDF)

Setting Up the Environment

Before executing the code, ensure you have Python and the necessary libraries installed, such as Transformers. You can easily install it using pip:

pip install transformers

Implementing the Encoder

Let’s get into the coding part. Below is how you can implement the BertEncoder class, which acts like our librarian, facilitating the retrieval process.

from Transformers import AutoTokenizer, BertPreTrainedModel, BertModel

class BertEncoder(BertPreTrainedModel):
    def __init__(self, config):
        super(BertEncoder, self).__init__(config)
        self.bert = BertModel(config)
        self.init_weights()
    
    def forward(self, input_ids, attention_mask=None, token_type_ids=None):
        outputs = self.bert(input_ids, attention_mask, token_type_ids)
        pooled_output = outputs[1]
        return pooled_output

Initializing the Model and Tokenizer

Here’s how you initialize the model along with the tokenizer. Keep in mind this step prepares our librarian for the task ahead:

model_name = "kykimbert-kor-base"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

q_encoder = BertEncoder.from_pretrained("thingsuko/DPR_question")
p_encoder = BertEncoder.from_pretrained("thingsuko/DPR_context")

Troubleshooting Tips

While implementing this pipeline, you might encounter a few common issues. Here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• Memory Errors: Ensure your runtime has adequate GPU memory. Sometimes, reducing batch size can alleviate this issue.
• Model Not Found: Check that you have the correct model paths. Make sure you’re using the accurate pre-trained model name.
• Training Convergence Errors: If your model is not converging, experiment with learning rates or provide more epochs to the training process.
