Here's How the Pros Use Hugging Face to Run Countless AI Models on their PCs

NEW YORK, New York, May 7th, 2024/Chainwire/-- Spectral is excited to announce its participation in Hugging Face's Expert Support Program. Spectral is collaborating with deep learning experts from Hugging Face to advance open-source models, datasets, and applications for the Onchain Agent Economy. How To Use Hugging Face Hugging Face plays a critical role across Spectral's organization. Through the Expert Support Program, Spectral regularly meets with the Hugging Face team to plan new use cases, strategize dataset construction, and develop training strategies. Earlier this year, Spectral launched Syntax, which is composed of a fine-tuned LLM orchestrator that routes queries between several tools, including search, Foundry, and an open-source model to generate Solidity code. Building Syntax required custom datasets for both finetuning and RAG, an original Solidity evaluation dataset written by elite smart contract developers, and experimentation across a wide range of open and closed-source models. Spectral's approach to dataset preparation, training, routing, and evaluation has drastically improved during this process, largely due to help from Hugging Face experts. Regular discussions on Spectral's approach mean that the company always receives impartial feedback on its decisions and can reevaluate its strategy as needed. This was important for both the finetuning and evaluation steps, which have now gone through several rounds of improvement thanks to the Hugging Face team. Spectral also relies on Hugging Face for inferences in production through dedicated Inference Endpoints. The fully managed infrastructure allows Spectral to iterate on new models quickly, easily update container and hardware configurations, autoscale with demand, and keep production costs low. Over the coming months, Spectral is excited to continue to open-source its work with onchain datasets and models that interact onchain through Hugging Face. Users can view Spectral's training dataset for the credit scoring challenge and follow its progress here. The Onchain Agent Economy Syntax is pioneering the accessible onchain Agent Economy, inviting users to select agents tailored for their specific tasks. Users can either interact with the foundational agent to generate solidity code or opt for one of the specialized agents, each adept in distinct tasks. For example, we recently launched Syntax MoonMaker, an agent that launches a memecoin project end to end and are soon launching Syntax- TestMachine, an agent that detects vulnerabilities in your smart contracts. Many such agents are currently in production, and upcoming releases of our product will allow users to create their own agents and monetize them on the Syntax network. This system relies on a vast suite of functions available to language models, open-source models for tasks like classification and image generation, fast and reliable blockchain infrastructure, and a trustless system to execute and verify each step. To solve these problems, we've begun developing the Inferchain, optimized to serve the rapidly growing demand for agents and verifiable inferences. Hugging Face Users Joining The Onchain AI Community The importance of open collaboration cannot be overstated. Like many other projects, Spectral would not exist without the work of open-source contributors. Spectral is greatly indebted to everyone who makes this work possible and believes this positive impact should be recognized. As part of this engagement, Spectral is focusing specifically on users powering the AI community. The top individual and small organization contributors on Hugging Face, measured by likes and downloads of their models and datasets, are eligible to register to claim a share of SPEC tokens starting the week of May 6th. Users can check eligibility by signing in with their Hugging Face account here. A snapshot of activity was taken last month, and eligible users will not need an existing wallet to claim.

IMDB The IMDB dataset is commonly used for natural language processing tasks, specifically sentiment analysis. It consists of a collection of 50,000 movie reviews from the Internet Movie Database website, split evenly between positive and negative reviews. The dataset is used for binary classification, which means the main goal is to classify each review as either positive or negative based on the sentiment expressed in the text. Each review in this dataset is a text document, and the dataset has been preprocessed and cleaned so it’s ready to use for training and evaluating sentiment analysis models. The IMDB dataset is available on the Hugging Face platform, making it easy to access and use with popular NLP libraries like the Hugging Face Transformers library. Note: Due to the fact that this dataset only includes movie reviews in English and may not represent other types of text, it is limited. 2. Common Voice This dataset is a large, open-source dataset of human voice recordings created by Mozilla for use in developing and training speech recognition models. It is unique because it is designed to be multilingual, with recordings in over 60 different languages. The Common Voice Dataset is one of the largest publicly available datasets for speech recognition because it comprises over 9,000 hours of speech data from over 60,000 contributors worldwide. Each recording in the dataset corresponds with metadata, including the gender, speaker’s age, accent and text of the spoken sentence. It is available in a variety of formats, like FLAC, MP3, and WAV. Each recording in the dataset is associated with metadata, including the speaker's age, gender, and accent, as well as the text of the spoken sentence.

HuggingFace Hub Datasets viewer In this article, you will learn how to download, load, configure and use NLP datasets from the hugging face datasets library. Let's get started. How to Install Datasets Library Installation is easy and takes only a few minutes. You can use pip as follows: pip install datasets Another option for installation is using conda as follows. conda install -c huggingface -c conda-forge datasets List of Datasets To view the list of different available datasets from the library, you can use the function from the library. list_datasets() datasets list_datasets, load_dataset pprint pprint

datasets_list = list_datasets() 
pprint(datasets_list,compact= ) from import from import True Currently, the datasets library has a total of 1182 datasets that can be used to create different NLP solutions. List of Dataset with Details You can also view a list of the datasets with details by adding an argument called equal to in the list_datases() function as follows. with_details True datasets_list = list_datasets(with_details= ) 
pprint(datasets_list) True This will show a list of datasets with their id(name), descriptions, and files (if downloaded in your local machine). Load Dataset To load the dataset from the library, you need to pass the file name on the function. load_dataset() The load_dataset function will do the following. Download and import in the library the file processing script from the Hugging Face GitHub repo. Run the file script to download the dataset Return the dataset as asked by the user. By default, it returns the entire dataset dataset = load_dataset( , ) 'ethos' 'binary' In the above example, I downloaded the dataset from hugging face. ethos "ETHOS: onlinE haTe speecH detectiOn dataSet. This repository contains a dataset for hate speech detection on social media platforms, called Ethos. There are two variations of the dataset:"- HuggingFace's page Each dataset can have several configurations that define the sub-part of the dataset you can select. For example, the ethos dataset has two configurations. Note: binary version multi-label version Let’s load the binary version we have downloaded. print(dataset) Split the Train and Validation Sets Sometimes you don't want to download the entire dataset, you can use the split parameter to specify if you want to download the train, validation, or test set from the dataset. ethos_train = load_dataset( , ,split= )

ethos_validation = load_dataset( , ,split= ) 'ethos' 'binary' 'train' 'ethos' 'binary' 'validation' This will save the training set in the variable and the validation set in variable. ethos_train ethos_validation Not all datasets have the train, validation, and test set. Some of them can contain only the train set. So you need to read more about the dataset you want to download from the . Note: hugging face dataset page Load Dataset from Local File You can use the library to load your local dataset from the local machine. You can load datasets that have the following format. CSV files JSON files Text files (read as a line-by-line dataset), Pandas pickled dataframe To load the local file you need to define the format of your dataset (example "CSV") and the path to the local file. dataset = load_dataset( , data_files= ) 'csv' 'my_file.csv' You can similarly instantiate a Dataset object from a pandas DataFrame as follows: datasets Dataset pandas pd 

df = pd.DataFrame({ : [ , , ]})
df_dataset = Dataset.from_pandas(df)

print(df_dataset) from import import as "a" 1 2 3 Download Mode When you load already downloaded data from the cache directory, you can control how the function handles it by setting its download_mode parameter. load_datasets() The parameter options are as follows. (default) - This will reuse both raw downloads and the prepared dataset if they exist in the cache directory. "reuse_dataset_if_exists" This will use the cached dataset. "reuse_cache_if_exists"- - This will redownload the dataset. "force_redownload" dataset = load_dataset( , , download_mode= ) 'ethos' 'binary' "force_redownload" In the above example, we redownload the ethos dataset with binary configuration. Setting The Format You can set the format of the dataset instance by using the function that takes as arguments. set_format() an optional string that defines the type of the objects that should be returned by : type: datasets.Dataset.getitem() (default): return python objects, None/'python' return PyTorch tensors, 'torch'/'pytorch'/'pt': : return Tensorflow tensors, 'tensorflow'/'tf' return JAX arrays, 'jax': : return Numpy arrays, 'numpy'/'np' : return Pandas DataFrames 'pandas'/'pd' ethos_train.set_format(type= , columns=[ , ]) 'pandas' 'comment' 'label' In the above example, we set the format type as .

NLP Datasets from HuggingFace: How to Access and Train Them

Conjuntos de datos de PNL de HuggingFace: cómo acceder a ellos y entrenarlos

Photo by on Mick De Paola Unsplash The “Maybe just a quick one” series title is inspired by my most common reply to “Fancy a drink?”, which, may or may not end up in a long night. Likewise, these posts are intended to be short but I get carried away sometimes, so, apologies in advance. About 🤗 Transformers 🤗 Transformers ( ) is a collection of state-of-the-art NLU (Natural Language Understanding) and NLG (Natural Language Generation ) models.  They offer a wide variety of architectures to choose from (BERT, GPT-2, RoBERTa etc) as well as a of pre-trained models uploaded by users and organisations. Hugging Face transformers hub Fine-tuning a model One of the things that makes this library such a powerful tool is that we can use the models as a basis for tasks. In other words, they can be a starting point to apply some fine-tuning using our own data. The library is designed to easily work with both Tensorflow or PyTorch. transfer learning 🤗 Datasets is a  wrapper library that provides some tools to load and process data in many commonly used formats (CSV, JSON etc). It also makes sharing datasets and metrics for Natural Language Processing extremely easy. Hugging Face Datasets 🤗 Datasets originated from a fork of the awesome TensorFlow Datasets and the HuggingFace team want to deeply thank the TensorFlow Datasets team for building this amazing library. Well, let’s write some code In this example, we will start with  a pre-trained model and fine-tune it on the dataset. We will then test it  on classifying tweets as hate speech, offensive language, or neither. All coding is done in . BERT (uncased) Hate Speech and Offensive Language Google Colab Please note:  this dataset contains text that can be considered racist, sexist, homophobic, or generally offensive. So let’s start by installing some necessary packages, import them and load the dataset. The dataset is stored in Google Drive, and the path to load it from is . So if you code along , please make sure you change the path to point to your own dataset file. /content/drive/MyDrive/Data/labeled_data.csv We are using the function to load it and then split it into train, validation, and test sets. The 3 sets are then gathered together to form a .This is a dictionary class, that offers us many methods to process the data. We will then remove some of the columns we don’t need for our classification task. load_dataset DatasetDict !pip install transformers
!pip install datasets datasets load_dataset,DatasetDict transformers AutoTokenizer,TFAutoModelForSequenceClassification tensorflow tf numpy np matplotlib.pyplot plt

The dataset located our Google Drive data folder.

DATA_PATH = dataset = load_dataset( , data_files=DATA_PATH,split= )
train_testvalid = dataset.train_test_split()
test_valid = train_testvalid[ ].train_test_split()
train_test_valid_dataset = DatasetDict({ : train_testvalid[ ], : test_valid[ ], : test_valid[ ]})
dataset = train_test_valid_dataset.remove_columns([ , , , , ]) #Install the necessary packages from import from import import as import as import as is in "/content/drive/MyDrive/Data/labeled_data.csv" 'csv' 'train' 'test' 'train' 'train' 'test' 'test' 'valid' 'train' 'hate_speech' 'offensive_language' 'neither' 'Unnamed: 0' 'count' So now we need to preprocess the data. The tool responsible for this is a What do tokenizers do? Very simply put, they split the data in tokens (these can be characters, words, part of words, depending on the model), and convert them into tensors of numeric ids, which is the form that the model can read. For this task, we are using the tokenizer from the pre-trained model we selected ( ). But let’s see how we achieve this: Tokenizer. bert-base-cased tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained( ) tokenizer(examples[ ], padding= , truncation= )

tokenized_datasets = dataset.map(tokenize_function, batched= )
train_dataset = tokenized_datasets[ ]
eval_dataset = tokenized_datasets[ ]
test_dataset = tokenized_datasets[ ]
tf_train_dataset = train_dataset.remove_columns([ ]).with_format( )
tf_eval_dataset = eval_dataset.remove_columns([ ]).with_format( )
tf_test_dataset = test_dataset.remove_columns([ ]).with_format( )

train_features = {x: tf_train_dataset[x].to_tensor() x tokenizer.model_input_names}
train_tf_dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((train_features, tf_train_dataset[ ]))
train_tf_dataset = train_tf_dataset.shuffle(len(tf_train_dataset)).batch( )

eval_features = {x: tf_eval_dataset[x].to_tensor() x tokenizer.model_input_names}
eval_tf_dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((eval_features, tf_eval_dataset[ ]))
eval_tf_dataset = eval_tf_dataset.batch( )

test_features = {x: tf_test_dataset[x].to_tensor() x tokenizer.model_input_names}
test_tf_dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((test_features, tf_test_dataset[ ]))
test_tf_dataset =test_tf_dataset.batch( ) "bert-base-cased" : def tokenize_function (examples) return "tweet" "max_length" True True "train" "valid" 'test' "tweet" "tensorflow" "tweet" "tensorflow" "tweet" "tensorflow" for in "class" 8 for in "class" 8 for in "class" 8 Notice how we used the dataset function, to apply our user-defined to all the elements of the dataset. map tokenize_function After applying the tokenization, we created 3 to feed the model with. We are now ready to train the model. Again, we are using the selected pre-trained model, transferring the “knowledge” it already has, but replacing its head with one that is suited to our task. We are using the class, which represents a generic Tensorflow (hence the TF prefix) model, with a sequence classification head. Also, notice the num_labels parameter which is set to 3, as this is a multi-class task with 3 distinct labels. After the training is finished, we plot the Sparse Categorical Accuracy and the Loss of both the train and the validation dataset. Tensorflow Datasets TFAutoModelForSequenceClassification model = TFAutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained( , num_labels= )
model.compile(
    optimizer=tf.keras.optimizers.Adam(learning_rate= ),
    loss=tf.keras.losses.SparseCategoricalCrossentropy(from_logits= ),

This action generates a directory with two files by default: a .json file that contains the model configuration and a .h5 file with the model weights. We can also push the model to the Hugging Face Models Hub should we want to, in order to make it available to the public. save_pretrained Does it work though? Let’s see how our model does in classifying some unseen text. I will use some stereotypical racist/offensive/sexist texts posted on social media. : Warning Due to the nature of this task, the language used here can be racist, sexist, and offensive. However, this is the only way to evaluate the model’s ability. pred2label = { : , : , : }

print(preds)
class_preds = np.argmax(preds, axis= ) pred class_preds:

How to Fine Tune a 🤗 (Hugging Face) Transformer Model

Transformer-based models are a game-changer when it comes to using unstructured text data. As of September 2020, the top-performing models in the General Language Understanding Evaluation (GLUE) benchmark are all BERT transformer-based models. At , we often encounter scenarios where we have supporting tabular feature information and unstructured text data. We found that by using the tabular data in these models, we could further improve performance, so we set out to build a toolkit that makes it easier for others to do the same. Georgian Building on Top of Transformers The main benefits of using transformers are that they can learn long-range dependencies between text and can be trained in parallel (as opposed to sequence to sequence models), meaning they can be pre-trained on large amounts of data. Given these advantages, BERT is now a staple model in many real-world applications. Likewise, with libraries such as , it’s easy to build high-performance transformer models on common NLP problems. HuggingFace Transformers Currently, transformer models using unstructured text data are well understood. However, in the real-world, text data is often supported by rich structured data or other unstructured data like audio or visual information. Each one of these might provide signals that one alone would not. We call these different ways of experiencing data—audio, visual or text—modalities. Think about E-commerce reviews as an example. Beyond the review text itself, information about the seller, buyer and product is available as numerical and categorical features. We set out to explore how text and tabular data could be used together to provide stronger signals in our projects. We started by exploring the field known as multimodal learning, which focuses on how to process different modalities in machine learning. Multimodal Literature Review The current models for multimodal learning mainly focus on learning from the sensory modalities such as audio, visual, and text. Within multimodal learning, there are several branches of research. The MultiComp Lab at Carnegie Mellon University provides an excellent . Our problem falls under Multimodal Fusion—joining information from two or more modalities to make a prediction. taxonomy As text data is our primary modality, we focus on the literature that treats text as the main modality and introduces models that leverage the transformer architecture. Trivial Solution to Structured Data Before we dive into the literature, there is a simple solution that can be used where the structured data is treated as regular text and is appended to the standard text inputs. Taking the E-commerce reviews example, the input can be structured as follows: Review. Buyer Info. Seller Info. Numbers/Labels. Etc. One caveat with this approach, however, is that it is limited by the maximum token length that a transformer can handle. Transformer on Images and Text In the last couple of years, transformer extensions for image and text have advanced significantly. by Kiela et al. (2019) uses pre-trained ResNet and pre-trained BERT features on unimodal images and text respectively and feeds this into a Bidirectional transformer. The key innovation is adapting the image features as additional tokens to the transformer model. Supervised Multimodal Bitransformers for Classifying Images and Text Additionally, there are models, (Lu et al. 2019)  and (Su et al. 2020), which define pre-training tasks for images and text. Both models pre-train on the , which contains roughly 3.3 million image-caption pairs (web images with captions from alt text). In both cases, for a given image, a pre-trained object detection model like Faster R-CNN obtains vector representations for regions of the image, which count as input token embeddings to the transformer model. ViLBERT VLBert Conceptual Captions dataset As an example, ViLBert pre-trains on the following training objectives: : Mask input image and word tokens. For the image, the model tries to predict a vector capturing image features for the corresponding image region, while for text, it predicts the masked text based on the textual and visual clues. Masked multimodal modelling : Whether the image and text pair are actually from the same image and caption pair. Multimodal alignment An image of the pretraining tasks and an example of masked multimodal learning are shown below. Given the image and text, if we mask out dog, the model should be able to use the unmasked visual information to correctly predict the masked word to be dog. All these models use the bidirectional transformer model that is the backbone of BERT. The differences lie in the pretraining tasks the models are trained on and slight additions to the transformer. In the case of ViLBERT, the authors also introduce a co-attention transformer layer (shown below) to define the attention mechanism between the modalities explicitly. Finally, there’s also (Tan and Mohit 2019), another pre-trained transformer model that as of Transformers version 3.1.0, is implemented as part of the library. The input to LXMERT is the same as ViLBERT and VLBERT. However, LXMERT pre-trains on aggregated datasets, which also include visual question answering datasets. In total LXMERT pre-trains on 9.18 million image text pairs. LXMERT Transformers on Aligning Audio, Visual, and Text Beyond transformers for combining image and text, there are multimodal models for audio, video, and text modalities in which there is a natural ground truth temporal alignment. Papers along this direction include MulT, (Tsai et al. 2019), and the Multimodal Adaptation Gate (MAG) from (Rahman et al. 2020). Multimodal Transformer for Unaligned Multimodal Language Sequences Integrating Multimodal Information in Large Pretrained Transformers MuIT is similar to ViLBert in which co-attention is used between pairs of modalities. Meanwhile, MAG hopes to inject other modality information at certain transformer layers via a gating mechanism. Transformers with Text and Knowledge Graph Embeddings Some works have also identified knowledge graphs as a vital piece of information in addition to text data. (Ostendorff et al. 2019) uses features from the author entities in the Wikidata knowledge graph in addition to metadata features for book category classification. In this case, the model is a simple concatenation of these features and BERT output text features of the book title and description before some final classification layers. Enriching BERT with Knowledge Graph Embeddings for Document Classification Key Takeaway The main takeaway for adapting transformers for multimodal data is to ensure that there's an attention or weighting mechanism between the multiple modalities. The attention mechanisms can occur at different points of the transformer architecture, as encoded input embeddings, injected in the middle, or combined after the transformer encodes the text data. Multimodal Transformers Toolkit Using what we’ve learned from the literature review and the comprehensive HuggingFace library of state of the art transformers, we’ve developed a toolkit. The package extends any HuggingFace transformer for tabular data. To see the code, documentation, and working examples, check out . multimodal-transformers the project repo At a high level, the outputs of a transformer model on text data and tabular features containing categorical and numerical data are combined in a combining module. Since there is no alignment in our data, we choose to combine the text features after the transformer’s output. The combining module implements several methods for integrating the modalities, including, attention and gating methods inspired by the literature survey. More details of these methods are available . here Walkthrough Let's work through an example where we classify clothing review recommendations. We'll use a simplified version of the example included in the Colab notebook. We will use the from Kaggle, which contains 23,000 customer reviews. Women's E-Commerce Clothing Reviews In this dataset, we have text data in the and columns. We also have categorical features from the , , and columns and numerical features from the and . Title Review Text Clothing ID Division Name Department Name Class Name Rating Positive Feedback Count Loading The Dataset We first load our data into a , which works with PyTorch's data loaders that include the text inputs for HuggingFace Transformers and our specified categorical feature columns and numerical feature columns. For this, we also need to load our HuggingFace tokenizer. TorchTabularTextDataset Loading Transformer with Tabular Model Now we load our transformer with a tabular model. We first specify our tabular configurations in a object. This config is then set as the member variable of a HuggingFace transformer config object. Here, we also specify how we want to combine the tabular features with the text features. In this example, we will use a weighted sum method. TabularConfig tabular_config Once we have the set, we can load the model using the same API as HuggingFace. See the for the list of currently supported transformer models that include the tabular combination module. tabular_config documentation Training For training, we can use HuggingFace’s class. We also need to specify the training arguments, and in this case, we will use the default. trainer Let's take a look at our models in training! Results Using this toolkit, we also ran our experiments on the dataset for recommendation prediction and the dataset for price prediction. The former is a classification task, while the latter is a regression task. Our results are in the table below. The text_only combine method is a baseline that uses only the transformer and is essentially the same as a HuggingFace for SequenceClassification model. Women’s E-Commerce Clothing Reviews Melbourne Airbnb Open Data We can see that incorporating tabular features improves performance over the text_only method. The performance gains also depend on how strong the training signals from the tabular data are. For example, in the review recommendation case, the text_only model is already a strong baseline.
