In the age of social media, the need to identify trolling, aggression, and cyberbullying is crucial for ensuring healthy online interactions. This guide will help you implement multilingual joint fine-tuning of transformer models based on the work done at the TRAC 2020 workshop.

What You Will Need

• Python installed on your machine
• Pip to install necessary libraries
• Access to the pre-trained models
• A dataset of your choice for further fine-tuning

Step-by-Step Guide

The implementation process can be broken down into a few critical steps:

1. Setting Up Your Environment

First, make sure you have Python and PyTorch installed, along with the Hugging Face Transformers library. You can install the necessary packages using pip:

pip install transformers torch pandas numpy scipy

2. Accessing the Models

You can access the pre-trained models from the Illinois Databank or from the Hugging Face models repository. The models in Hugging Face can be fine-tuned further on your dataset if required.

3. Initialize the Model and Tokenizer

Now, let’s load the model and tokenizer. This part can be visualized as opening a toolbox to fix a car. Depending on your needs, you might open a different section of the toolbox (in this case, the model repository).

from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer
import torch
from pathlib import Path

model_version = 'databank' # or use 'huggingface'

if model_version == 'databank':
    model_path = next(Path('databank_model').glob("*.output*model"))
else:
    model_path = 'bert-base-multilingual-uncased'

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_path)
model.eval()  # Set the model to evaluation mode

4. Preparing Your Data for Inference

Next, prepare a sample sentence for evaluation. This is similar to getting the necessary parts before starting a repair job – you need to know what you’re going to fix.

sentence = "This is a good cat and this is a bad dog."
tokens = tokenizer.encode_plus(sentence, return_tensors='pt')
logits = model(**tokens).logits
preds_probs = torch.nn.functional.softmax(logits, dim=-1)
preds = preds_probs.argmax(dim=-1).numpy()
print(preds_probs.numpy(), preds.numpy())

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, consider the following:

• Make sure all required packages are installed correctly.
• Verify that you are using the correct model paths.
• Check if your Python version is compatible with the libraries.
• If you still face issues, try re-reading the documentation or exploring community forums for solutions.
