Welcome to the fascinating world of Cybertron! Cybertron is a powerful package designed in pure Go that empowers developers to harness the latest advancements in Natural Language Processing (NLP) without wrestling with multiple programming languages or complicated frameworks. This guide will walk you through the installation, setup, and use cases of Cybertron, while also providing some troubleshooting tips.

Getting Started with Cybertron

Before diving into Cybertron, ensure you meet the following requirements:

• Go 1.21 installed on your machine.

To start, you can clone the repository or install the library using the command:

go get -u github.com/nlpodyssey/cybertron

Supported Models and Tasks

Cybertron supports a variety of models and tasks:

Supported Models

• BERT
• ELECTRA
• BART
• PEGASUS
• MarianMT

Supported Tasks

• Masked Language Modeling
• Text Classification (Supervised and Zero-Shot)
• Token Classification
• Extractive and Abstractive Question-Answering
• Text Encoding and Semantic Search
• Text Generation (Translation, Paraphrasing, Summarization)
• Relation Extraction

Using Cybertron in Server Mode

In server mode, Cybertron is configured using a .env file or command line flags. Here’s how you can set it up:

First, create a .env file in your working directory:

echo CYBERTRON_MODEL=Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-it > .env
echo CYBERTRON_MODELS_DIR=models >> .env
echo CYBERTRON_MODEL_TASK=text-generation >> .env

Next, run the server using the following command:

GOARCH=amd64 go run ./cmd/server -address 0.0.0.0:8080

Testing the Server

To test your server, you can issue a POST request. Here’s a basic example:

curl -X POST 0.0.0.0:8080/v1/generate -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"input": "You must be the change you wish to see in the world.", "parameters": {}}'

Utilizing Library Mode

Cybertron also allows for experimenting through library mode with several examples. For instance, to perform Machine Translation (English to Italian), run the following command:

GOARCH=amd64 go run ./examples/textgeneration

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter an error indicating that the model specified in the .env file is incompatible, try removing that model entry from the configuration file to revert to the default model.

Should you run into further complications, here are some tips:

• Ensure that Go 1.21 is properly installed and configured.
• Double-check the dependencies listed in the README to ensure all modules are correctly imported.
• Make sure your environment variables are accurately set up in the .env file.

Understanding the Code Setup with an Analogy

Think of Cybertron like a kitchen where you can cook various dishes using different recipes (or models). The base ingredients are your programming language (Go) and the kitchen equipment (Cybertron package). Just like you need to prepare your kitchen (environment setup) and gather ingredients (dependencies) before cooking, you need to ensure you install Go and the necessary modules before you can effectively ‘cook’ up fantastic NLP applications.

Now that you have a comprehensive guide at your disposal, it’s time to dive into the world of NLP with Cybertron!
