Model description
This is a Japanese RoBERTa large model pre-trained on Japanese Wikipedia and the Japanese portion of CC-100. This model is trained with character-level tokenization and whole word masking.
How to use
You can use this model for masked language modeling as follows:
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMaskedLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('ku-nlp/roberta-large-japanese-char-wwm')
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained('ku-nlp/roberta-large-japanese-char-wwm')
sentence = '京都大学で自然言語処理を[MASK]する。'
encoding = tokenizer(sentence, return_tensors='pt')
...
You can fine-tune this model on downstream tasks.
Tokenization
There is no need to tokenize texts in advance, and you can give raw texts to the tokenizer. The texts are tokenized into character-level tokens by sentencepiece.
Vocabulary
The vocabulary consists of 18,377 tokens including all characters that appear in the training corpus.
Training procedure
This model was trained on Japanese Wikipedia (as of 20220220) and the Japanese portion of CC-100. It took a month using 8-16 NVIDIA A100 GPUs.
The following hyperparameters were used during pre-training:
- learning_rate: 5e-5
- per_device_train_batch_size: 38
- distributed_type: multi-GPU
- num_devices: 16
- gradient_accumulation_steps: 8
- total_train_batch_size: 4864
- max_seq_length: 512
- optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.98) and epsilon=1e-06
- lr_scheduler_type: linear schedule with warmup
- training_steps: 500000
- warmup_steps: 10000
