Dataloading

Dowload data

You can download the data using this basic python script at the root of the project. Download should be completed in about 20 minutes given your connection speed. Total size on disk is arround 25G.

python dataset/download_data.py --dataset_list=dataset/datasets_list.tsv --data_path=PATH_TO_STORE_DATASETS

On a different note:

There is another directory called dataset_list, which contains a subdirectory called stackexchange. This subdirectory contains the script to download the compressed stackexchange xml files from the internet archive. Once downloaded, these compressed stackexchange xml files need to be converted to the jsonl format for training purpose. To transform, use the the datasets/stackexchange/transforms.py script, which generates the required input data format for training. A small file restructuring or cleanup is required, as the directories dataset, datasets and dataset_list could be confusing.

Dataloading

First implementation of the dataloader takes as input a single jsonl.gz file. It creates a pointer on the file such that samples are loaded one by one. The implementation is based on torch standard Dataloader and Dataset classes. The class supports num_worker>0 such that data loading is done in a background process on the CPU, i.e. the data is loaded and tokenized in parallel to training the network. This avoid to create a bottleneck from I/O and tokenization. The implementation currently return {'anchor': '...,' 'positive': '...'}

Installation

Poetry

A Poetry toml is provided to manage dependencies in a virtualenv. Check https://python-poetry.org/

Once you've installed poetry, you can connect to virtual env and update dependencies:

poetry shell
poetry update
poetry install

requirements.txt

Someone on your platform should generate it once with following command.

poetry export -f requirements.txt --output requirements.txt

Rust compiler for hugginface tokenizers

  • Hugginface tokenizers require a Rust compiler so install one.

custom libs

  • If you want a specific version of any library, edit the pyproject.toml, add it and/or replace "*" by it.

Running Tests

Call this in the project folder to execute unit tests.

python -m unittest discover -s tests
