Bases: object

Trainer is a simple but feature-complete training and eval loop for PaddlePaddle, optimized for PaddleNLP.

Parameters

• model ([PretrainedModel] or paddle.nn.Layer, optional) –

  The model to train, evaluate or use for predictions.

  [Trainer] is optimized to work with the [PretrainedModel] provided by the library. You can still use your own models defined as paddle.nn.Layer as long as they work the same way as the PaddleNLP models.

• criterion (paddle.nn.Layer, optional) – The model may only output the loggit, if you want do more computation for the output of model, you can add the criterion Layer.

• args ([TrainingArguments], optional) – The arguments to tweak for training. Will default to a basic instance of [TrainingArguments] with the output_dir set to a directory named tmp_trainer in the current directory if not provided.

• data_collator (DataCollator, optional) – The function to use to form a batch from a list of elements of train_dataset or eval_dataset. Will default to [default_data_collator] if no tokenizer is provided, an instance of [DataCollatorWithPadding] otherwise.

• train_dataset (paddle.io.Dataset or paddle.io.IterableDataset, optional) – The dataset to use for training. If it is an datasets.Dataset, columns not accepted by the model.forward() method are automatically removed.

• eval_dataset (paddle.io.Dataset, optional) – The dataset to use for evaluation. If it is an datasets.Dataset, columns not accepted by the model.forward() method are automatically removed.

• tokenizer ([PretrainedTokenizer], optional) – The tokenizer used to preprocess the data. If provided, will be used to automatically pad the inputs the maximum length when batching inputs, and it will be saved along the model to make it easier to rerun an interrupted training or reuse the fine-tuned model.

• compute_metrics (Callable[[EvalPrediction], Dict], optional) – The function that will be used to compute metrics at evaluation. Must take a [EvalPrediction] and return a dictionary string to metric values.

• callbacks (List of [TrainerCallback], optional) – A list of callbacks to customize the training loop. Will add those to the list of default callbacks. If you want to remove one of the default callbacks used, use the [Trainer.remove_callback] method.

• optimizers (Tuple[paddle.optimizer.Optimizer, paddle.optimizer.lr.LRScheduler], optional) – A tuple containing the optimizer and the scheduler to use. Will default to an instance of [AdamW] on your model and a scheduler given by [get_linear_schedule_with_warmup] controlled by args.

Important attributes:

• model – Always points to the core model. If using a transformers model, it will be a [PretrainedModel] subclass.

• model_wrapped – Always points to the most external model in case one or more other modules wrap the original model. This is the model that should be used for the forward pass. For example, the inner model is wrapped in paddle.DataParallel. If model hasn’t been wrapped, then self.model_wrapped is the same as self.model.

log_metrics(split, metrics)

Log metrics in a specially formatted way Under distributed environment this is done only for a process with rank 0. :param split: Mode/split name: one of train, eval, test :type split: str :param metrics: The metrics returned from train/evaluate/predictmetrics: metrics dict :type metrics: Dict[str, float]

metrics_format(metrics: Dict[str, float]) → Dict[str, float]

Reformat Trainer metrics values to a human-readable format :param metrics: The metrics returned from train/evaluate/predict :type metrics: Dict[str, float]

Returns

The reformatted metrics

Return type

metrics (Dict[str, float])

save_metrics(split, metrics, combined=True)

Save metrics into a json file for that split, e.g. train_results.json. Under distributed environment this is done only for a process with rank 0. :param split: Mode/split name: one of train, eval, test, all :type split: str :param metrics: The metrics returned from train/evaluate/predict :type metrics: Dict[str, float] :param combined: Creates combined metrics by updating all_results.json with metrics of this call :type combined: bool, optional, defaults to True

To understand the metrics please read the docstring of [log_metrics]. The only difference is that raw unformatted numbers are saved in the current method.

save_state()

Saves the Trainer state, since Trainer.save_model saves only the tokenizer with the model Under distributed environment this is done only for a process with rank 0.

first case, will pop the first member of that class found in the list of callbacks.

Returns

The callback removed, if found.

Return type

The padding index is -100. </Tip> Returns: NamedTuple A namedtuple with the following keys:

• predictions (np.ndarray): The predictions on test_dataset.

• label_ids (np.ndarray, optional): The labels (if the dataset contained some).
