Welcome to the world of HugNLP, the novel development and application library designed to boost the efficiency of NLP researchers. This guide will help you get started with HugNLP, from installation to running tasks, along with troubleshooting tips to ensure a smooth experience.

Getting Started with HugNLP

Before diving into HugNLP, it’s essential to install it properly. Here’s how:

Installation Steps

• Clone the repository using the command:

git clone https://github.com/HugAILab/HugNLP.git

• Navigate into the directory:

cd HugNLP

• Install the library:

python3 setup.py install

How to Use HugNLP

HugNLP is designed to simplify the implementation of NLP tasks. Let’s break it down using an analogy: think of HugNLP as a well-appointed toolkit for crafting a masterpiece. Just as an artisan selects the right tools for their craft, HugNLP allows you to choose models and processors that best fit your project needs.

• Models: Select from popular transformer-based models such as BERT, RoBERTa, and GPT-2.
• Processors: Load and process datasets efficiently, setting up pipelines for smooth task execution.

Running a Classification Task

If your goal is to perform a classification task, prepare three JSON files (train.json, dev.json, test.json) in a directory. You can run the classification script using the following command:

bash .application/default_applications/run_seq_cls.sh

Example of a Classification Task

Here’s a simple example to help you understand how to configure your task.

bash
path=chinese-macbert-base
MODEL_TYPE=bert
data_path=wjn/frameworks/HugNLP/datasets/data_example/cls
TASK_TYPE=head_cls
len=196
bz=4
epoch=10
eval_step=50
wr_step=10
lr=1e-05
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1
python3 -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=2 --master_port=6014 hugnlp_runner.py \
--model_name_or_path=$path \
--data_dir=$data_path \
--output_dir=.outputs/default/sequence_classification \
--seed=42 --exp_name=default-cls --max_seq_length=$len --max_eval_seq_length=$len \
--do_train --do_eval --do_predict \
--per_device_train_batch_size=$bz --per_device_eval_batch_size=4 \
--learning_rate=$lr --num_train_epochs=$epoch --overwrite_output_dir \
--label_names=labels

This snippet showcases how to set various parameters such as model type and learning rate, creating a robust classification model.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues while using HugNLP, consider the following:

• Ensure you have installed all the necessary dependencies.
• Check for any typo in your scripts or commands.
• Make sure your dataset path is correct and accessible.
• If you face model loading issues, confirm that the model names are correctly specified.
