In this guide, we will go through the exciting process of fine-tuning the lilt-en-funsd model on the FUNSD dataset. We’ll explore everything from model description to training results and provide some handy troubleshooting tips!

Understanding the lilt-en-funsd Model

The lilt-en-funsd is a fine-tuned variant of the SCUT-DLVCLablilt-roberta-en-base specifically adjusted for the FUNSD dataset, which aims to enhance the model’s performance on document understanding tasks.

Training and Evaluating the Model

The model was trained with the following hyperparameters, forming the backbone of its performance:

• Learning rate: 5e-05
• Training batch size: 8
• Evaluation batch size: 8
• Optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999)
• Scheduling type: Linear
• Training steps: 2500
• Mixed precision: Native AMP

Performance Results

The evaluation results show impressive metrics. Just as a chef tests a dish’s flavor before serving it, these metrics assure that our model is well-prepared:

Overall Precision: 0.8792
Overall Recall: 0.8857
Overall F1: 0.8825
Overall Accuracy: 0.7976

Analogy: Fine-tuning as Perfecting a Recipe

Think of fine-tuning a model like mastering a favorite recipe. At first, you might follow the recipe to the letter, ensuring all ingredients are measured accurately (like setting hyperparameters). If the final dish isn’t as delicious as you’d like (low performance metrics), you taste it and adjust. Maybe a pinch more salt (adjust some parameters), or letting it simmer a bit longer (increasing training steps). Just like cooking, model training is about experimentation and adjusting until the desired flavor (performance) is reached!

Troubleshooting Tips

Even the best chefs encounter problems in the kitchen. Similarly, you might face challenges while fine-tuning the lilt-en-funsd model. Here are some tips to help you along the way:

• Model not improving: Check your learning rate; it might be too high or too low.
• Metrics fluctuating: Ensure that your training data is well-prepared and balanced.
• Training is too slow: Consider adjusting the batch size or using mixed precision training.
