I need to build a transformer-based architecture in Tensorflow following the encoder-decoder approach where the encoder is a preexisting Huggingface Distilbert model and the decoder is a CNN.
Inputs: a text containing texts with several phrases in a row. Outputs: codes according to taxonomic criteria. My data file has 7387 pairs text-label in TSV format:
text \t code
This is example text number one. It might contain some other phrases. \t C21
This is example text number two. It might contain some other phrases. \t J45.1
This is example text number three. It might contain some other phrases. \t A27
The remainder of the code is this:
text_file = "data/datafile.tsv"
with open(text_file) as f:
lines = f.read().split("\n")[:-1]
text_and_code_pairs = []
for line in lines:
text, code = line.split("\t")
text_and_code_pairs.append((text, code))
random.shuffle(text_and_code_pairs)
num_val_samples = int(0.10 * len(text_and_code_pairs))
num_train_samples = len(text_and_code_pairs) - 3 * num_val_samples
train_pairs = text_and_code_pairs[:num_train_samples]
val_pairs = text_and_code_pairs[num_train_samples : num_train_samples + num_val_samples]
test_pairs = text_and_code_pairs[num_train_samples + num_val_samples :]
train_texts = [fst for (fst,snd) in train_pairs]
train_labels = [snd for (fst,snd) in train_pairs]
val_texts = [fst for (fst,snd) in val_pairs]
val_labels = [snd for (fst,snd) in val_pairs]
test_texts = [fst for (fst,snd) in test_pairs]
test_labels = [snd for (fst,snd) in test_pairs]
distilbert_encoder = TFDistilBertModel.from_pretrained("distilbert-base-multilingual-cased")
tokenizer = DistilBertTokenizerFast.from_pretrained("distilbert-base-multilingual-cased")
train_encodings = tokenizer(train_texts, truncation=True, padding=True)
val_encodings = tokenizer(val_texts, truncation=True, padding=True)
test_encodings = tokenizer(test_texts, truncation=True, padding=True)
train_dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((
dict(train_encodings),
train_labels
))
val_dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((
dict(val_encodings),
val_labels
))
test_dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((
dict(test_encodings),
test_labels
))
model = build_model(distilbert_encoder)
model.fit(train_dataset.batch(64), validation_data=val_dataset, epochs=3, batch_size=64)
model.predict(test_dataset, verbose=1)
Lastly, the build_model function:
def build_model(transformer, max_len=512):
model = tf.keras.models.Sequential()
# Encoder
inputs = layers.Input(shape=(max_len,), dtype=tf.int32)
distilbert = transformer(inputs)
# LAYER - something missing here?
# Decoder
conv1D = tf.keras.layers.Conv1D(filters=5, kernel_size=10)(distilbert)
pooling = tf.keras.layers.MaxPooling1D(pool_size=2)(conv1D)
flat = tf.keras.layers.Flatten()(pooling)
fc = tf.keras.layers.Dense(1255, activation='relu')(flat)
softmax = tf.keras.layers.Dense(1255, activation='softmax')(fc)
model = tf.keras.models.Model(inputs = inputs, outputs = softmax)
model.compile(tf.keras.optimizers.Adam(learning_rate=5e-5), loss="categorical_crossentropy", metrics=['accuracy'])
print(model.summary())
return model
I managed to narrow down the possible locations of my problem. After changing from sequential to functional Keras API, I get the following error:

It seems that the error lies in the connection between the output of the transformer and the input of the convolutional layer. Am I supposed to include another layer between them so as to adapt the output of the transformer? If so, what would be the best option?I'm using tensorflow==2.2.0, transformers==4.5.1 and Python 3.6.9
I think the problem is to call the right tensor for the tensorflow layer after the dilbert instance. Because distilbert = transformer(inputs) returns an instance rather than a tensor like in tensorflow, e.g., pooling = tf.keras.layers.MaxPooling1D(pool_size=2)(conv1D). pooling is the output tensor of the MaxPooling1D layer.
I fix your problem by calling the last_hidden_state variable of the distilbert instance (i.e. output of the dilbert model), and this will be your input to the next Conv1D layer.
