The evolution of language styles is fascinating, and with the help of artificial intelligence, we can bridge the gap between informal and formal writing. This tutorial will guide you through the process of using the `BigSalmon Informal to Formal Dataset` for text generation, emulating the distinguished style of Abraham Lincoln. Whether you’re looking to refine your writing for academic purposes, or simply wish to adopt a more eloquent tone, this guide is for you!

What You Will Need

• Python installed
• Transformers library
• Pytorch or TensorFlow

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Import the Required Libraries

To get started, you will need to import the necessary packages from the Transformers library.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

2. Load the Pretrained Tokenizer and Model

Once you have the libraries in place, you can proceed by initializing the tokenizer and model for the Lincoln-style generation.

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("BigSalmon/InformalToFormalLincoln90Paraphrase")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("BigSalmon/InformalToFormalLincoln90Paraphrase")

3. Prepare Your Input Prompt

Write your informal text; this will serve as the prompt for the model. For instance, you can use:

prompt = "informal english: corn fields are all across illinois, visible once you leave chicago." 

4. Generate the Formal Output

Now, let’s generate the formal translation of your informal text. Here’s where we employ the model’s capabilities:

input_ids = tokenizer.encode(prompt, return_tensors='pt')
outputs = model.generate(
    input_ids=input_ids,
    max_length=10 + len(prompt),
    temperature=1.0,
    top_k=50,
    top_p=0.95,
    do_sample=True,
    num_return_sequences=5,
    early_stopping=True
)

5. Decode and Display the Outputs

With the outputs generated, you can decode and display the results:

for i in range(5): 
    print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[i]))

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Think of the code you’ve written as a recipe in a cookbook. The ingredients (libraries and models) are necessary for creating the delightful dish (the formal text). The preparation steps (loading models and inputs) are about gathering these ingredients and combining them properly. Finally, baking (model generation) is where the magic happens, transforming your basic ingredients into a refined, tasty treat (formal sentence).

Troubleshooting Tips

• If you encounter errors while loading the model or tokenizer, ensure that you have the latest version of the Transformers library.
• In case of runtime errors, check that all dependencies, like PyTorch or TensorFlow, are correctly installed and compatible.
• If the output is not as expected, try modifying the input prompt for clarity or simplicity.
