How to Use CamemBERT with HuggingFace
Loading CamemBERT and Its Sub-word Tokenizer
Let’s get cooking! To start using CamemBERT, we need to load the model along with its tokenizer. Here’s how to do it:
from transformers import CamembertModel, CamembertTokenizer
# You can replace "camembert-base" with any other model from the table, e.g. "camembert/camembert-large".
tokenizer = CamembertTokenizer.from_pretrained("camembert/camembert-base-wikipedia-4gb")
camembert = CamembertModel.from_pretrained("camembert/camembert-base-wikipedia-4gb")
camembert.eval() # disable dropout (or leave in train mode to finetune)
Filling Masks Using the Pipeline
Now that the model is loaded, we can fill in some masks in our tasty sentences. Here’s how:
from transformers import pipeline
camembert_fill_mask = pipeline("fill-mask", model="camembert/camembert-base-wikipedia-4gb", tokenizer="camembert/camembert-base-wikipedia-4gb")
results = camembert_fill_mask("Le camembert est un fromage de !")
# Display results
print(results)
Extracting Contextual Embedding Features
It’s time to extract some delicious contextual embedding features. Here’s an easy recipe:
import torch
# Tokenize in sub-words with SentencePiece
tokenized_sentence = tokenizer.tokenize("J'aime le camembert !")
encoded_sentence = tokenizer.encode(tokenized_sentence)
# Convert to a torch tensor
encoded_sentence = torch.tensor(encoded_sentence).unsqueeze(0)
embeddings, _ = camembert(encoded_sentence)
# Check the size of the embeddings
print(embeddings.size()) # torch.Size([1, 10, 768])
Troubleshooting
Although CamemBERT is designed to be user-friendly, issues may arise. Here are some common troubleshooting tips:
- Model Not Found Error: Ensure you are using the correct model name. Refer to the model table for valid names.
- Out of Memory: If you encounter memory issues, consider switching to a smaller version of the model.
- Runtime Errors: Check your PyTorch and Hugging Face Transformers library versions for compatibility.
