Are you ready to unlock the potential of text generation in Portuguese using GPorTuguese-2? In this article, we’ll take you through the steps to get started with this state-of-the-art language model. Buckle up, and let’s dive in!

What is GPorTuguese-2?

GPorTuguese-2 is a powerful language model based on the GPT-2 architecture, specifically tailored for Portuguese. With the ability to understand and generate coherent text, it has been trained using data from Portuguese Wikipedia through transfer learning and fine-tuning techniques. Let’s walk through the process of using GPorTuguese-2 in both PyTorch and TensorFlow environments.

Using GPorTuguese-2 with Hugging Face (PyTorch)

Follow these steps to start generating Portuguese text using PyTorch:

• Load the Model and Tokenizer

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelWithLMHead
import torch

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("pierreguillou/gpt2-small-portuguese")
model = AutoModelWithLMHead.from_pretrained("pierreguillou/gpt2-small-portuguese")
# Get sequence length max of 1024
tokenizer.model_max_length = 1024
model.eval()  # disable dropout (or leave in train mode to fine-tune)

• Generate One Word

# Input sequence
text = "Quem era Jim Henson? Jim Henson era um"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')  # model output
outputs = model(**inputs, labels=inputs['input_ids'])
loss, logits = outputs[:2]
predicted_index = torch.argmax(logits[0, -1, :]).item()
predicted_text = tokenizer.decode([predicted_index])

# Results
print("Input text:", text)
print("Predicted text:", predicted_text)

• Generate One Full Sequence

# Input sequence
text = "Quem era Jim Henson? Jim Henson era um"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')  # model output using Top-k sampling method
sample_outputs = model.generate(inputs['input_ids'], 
                                pad_token_id=50256, 
                                do_sample=True, 
                                max_length=50,  # set the token number you want
                                top_k=40, 
                                num_return_sequences=1)

# Generated sequence
for i, sample_output in enumerate(sample_outputs):
    print("Generated text", i+1, ":", tokenizer.decode(sample_output.tolist()))

Using GPorTuguese-2 with Hugging Face (TensorFlow)

If you prefer TensorFlow, here’s how to implement GPorTuguese-2:

• Load the Model and Tokenizer

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, TFAutoModelWithLMHead
import tensorflow as tf

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("pierreguillou/gpt2-small-portuguese") 
model = TFAutoModelWithLMHead.from_pretrained("pierreguillou/gpt2-small-portuguese")
# Get sequence length max of 1024
tokenizer.model_max_length = 1024
model.eval()  # disable dropout (or leave in train mode to finetune)

• Generate One Full Sequence

# Input sequence
text = "Quem era Jim Henson? Jim Henson era um"
inputs = tokenizer.encode(text, return_tensors='tf')  # model output using Top-k sampling method
outputs = model.generate(inputs, 
                         eos_token_id=50256, 
                         pad_token_id=50256, 
                         do_sample=True, 
                         max_length=40, 
                         top_k=40)

print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Imagine you are building a chef’s kitchen, but instead of cooking delicious meals, this kitchen is set up to generate meaningful text. Each ingredient represents a part of your code, where:

• Load the Model and Tokenizer: Similar to arranging your ingredients (like spices, vegetables, etc.) within reachable cabinets, you initialize the model and tokenizer so they’re ready to use.
• Generate One Word: This is akin to tasting your food at various stages. You provide a base input (just like salt enhances flavor), and the model predicts the next word—an important component to create the entire dish.
• Generate One Full Sequence: Finally, cooking the dish incrementally. By layering on more words and flavors, the model cooks up a complete sentence, just as a chef would combine ingredients to create a mouthwatering masterpiece.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while using GPorTuguese-2, here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure you have the necessary libraries installed, such as ‘transformers’ and ‘torch’ or ‘tensorflow’ depending on your chosen framework.
• Check your input text for unsupported characters or formats that might lead to errors.
• Make sure your GPU is set up correctly if you are using one for training or inference, and that it has sufficient memory to accommodate the model.
