Overview

ModelCenter implements pre-trained language models (PLMs) based on the backend OpenBMB/BMTrain. ModelCenter supports Efficient, Low-Resource, Extendable model usage and distributed training.

Our main advantages are:

• Easy to use. Compared to Deepspeed and Megatron, we have better and more flexible code-packaging and easy to configure python environments, and the training code is uniform with PyTorch style.
• More efficient memory utilization. Models with large memory footprints can cause OOM (out of memory) before the computational power of the GPU is fully utilized. Our implementation reduces the memory footprint by several times, allowing more efficient use of the GPU's computational power with a larger batch size.
• Efficient distributed training with low resources. With the support of OpenBMB/BMTrain, we are able to easily extend the ZeRO optimization to any PLMs, and we optimize communication and time scheduling for faster distributed training.

Installation

1. From PyPI (Recommend)

$ pip install model-center

2. From Source

$ git clone https://github.com/OpenBMB/ModelCenter.git
$ cd ModelCenter
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python3 setup.py install

Quick Start

In the quick start, you will walk through how to fine-tune a BERT model on a classification task.

1. Initialize bmtrain backend

First, you need to import bmtrain and use bmtrain.init_distributed() at the beginning of your code, which can initialize the distributed environments.

import bmtrain as bmt
bmt.init_distributed(seed=0)

2. Prepare the model

Next, you can simply get a pre-trained BERT model from model_center, e.g., *bert-base-uncased*. When fine-tuning BERT on the classification task, a feed-forward layer need to be appended to the last layer.

import torch
from model_center.model import Bert, BertConfig
from model_center.layer import Linear

class BertModel(torch.nn.Module):
def __init__(self, config):
super().__init__()
self.bert = Bert.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
self.dense = Linear(config.dim_model, 2)
bmt.init_parameters(self.dense)

def forward(self, input_ids, attention_mask):
pooler_output = self.bert(input_ids=input_ids, attention_mask=attention_mask).pooler_output
logits = self.dense(pooler_output)
return logits

config = BertConfig.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
model = BertModel(config)

If only config is needed instead of pretrained checkpoint, you can initialize a model as the following:

config = BertConfig.from_json_file("your/path/to/config.json")
model = Bert(config)
bmt.init_parameters(model)
# bmt.load(model, "your/path/to/pytorch_model.pt")

3. Perpare the dataset

The next step is to prepare the dataset used for training and evaluation. Here, we use the BoolQ dataset from the SuperGLUE benchmark. You need to download the dataset and put the unzipped folder in your_path_to_dataset.

from model_center.dataset.bertdataset import DATASET
from model_center.dataset import DistributedDataLoader
from model_center.tokenizer import BertTokenizer

tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
splits = ['train', 'dev']
dataset = {}

for split in splits:
dataset[split] = DATASET['BoolQ']('your_path_to_dataset', split, bmt.rank(), bmt.world_size(), tokenizer, max_encoder_length=512)

batch_size = 64
train_dataloader = DistributedDataLoader(dataset['train'], batch_size=batch_size, shuffle=True)
dev_dataloader = DistributedDataLoader(dataset['dev'], batch_size=batch_size, shuffle=False)

4. Train the model

Now, select optimizer, learning rate scheduler, loss function, and then start training the model! Here, we train BERT for 5 epochs and evaluate it at the end of each epoch.

optimizer = bmt.optim.AdamOffloadOptimizer(model.parameters())

lr_scheduler = bmt.lr_scheduler.Noam(
optimizer,
start_lr = 1e-5,
warmup_iter = 100,
end_iter = -1)

loss_func = bmt.loss.FusedCrossEntropy(ignore_index=-100)

optim_manager = bmt.optim.OptimManager(loss_scale=1024)
optim_manager.add_optimizer(optimizer, lr_scheduler)

for epoch in range(5):
model.train()
for data in train_dataloader:
input_ids = data['input_ids']
attention_mask = data['attention_mask']
labels = data['labels']

# model forward
logits = model(input_ids, attention_mask)

# calculate loss
loss = loss_func(logits.view(-1, logits.shape[-1]), labels.view(-1))

# use bmt.sum_loss(loss) to gather all loss information from all distributed processes
global_loss = bmt.sum_loss(loss).item()

# zero grad
optim_manager.zero_grad()

# scale loss before backward to avoid precision underflow of fp16
optim_manager.backward(loss)

# clip gradient norm
grad_norm = optim_manager.clip_grad_norm(optimizer.param_groups, max_norm=10.0, scale =…
