VardaGPT is a memory-enhanced GPT-2 model powered by Hugging Face Transformers and FAISS. Inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion, VardaGPT aims to provide guidance and knowledge through its memory-augmented text generation capabilities.

TLDR - Training

The VardaGPTAssociative model combines GPT-2 with an associative memory to improve context retrieval. This repository includes a script to train this model on the WikiText-2 dataset.

Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• PyTorch 1.8.1+
• torchtext 0.9.1
• transformers 4.10.0
• rich 10.3.0
• faiss-cpu 1.7.1

To install the required packages, you can use the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

To train the VardaGPTAssociative model on the WikiText-2 dataset, use the provided training script (train_varda_gpt_associative.py). You can customize the training settings by passing command-line arguments. Here's a basic example:

python train_varda_gpt_associative.py --epochs 5 --learning_rate 1e-4 --use_gpu

Available command-line arguments:

• --epochs: Number of epochs to train the model (default: 5).
• --learning_rate: Learning rate for the optimizer (default: 1e-4).
• --memory_size: Maximum number of items the associative memory can store (default: 10000).
• --memory_dim: Dimensionality of the embeddings stored in the associative memory (default: 768).
• --index_type: Type of index used for the associative memory (default: "flat").
• --num_clusters: Number of clusters to use for the memory if the index type is "ivf" (default: 1024).
• --num_search_results: Number of search results to return from the associative memory (default: 5).
• --use_gpu: Whether to use the GPU for the model if available (default: False).
• --batch_size: Batch size for training (default: 1).
• --forgetfulness_factor: Forgetfulness factor for the associative memory (default: 0.001).

During training, the script will periodically print the training loss, validation loss, and elapsed time for each epoch, along with a progress bar for each training step.

After training, you can use the trained model for your specific use case, such as text generation or fine-tuning for a particular task.

This diagram shows the main components of the VardaGPT project and their interactions. The Data Preparation component processes the dataset and feeds it to both the FAISS Memory Model and the GPT-2 Model Adaptation component. The FAISS Memory Model generates embeddings, which are used by the GPT-2 Model Adaptation component to create a modified GPT-2 model. The modified GPT-2 model is then trained and evaluated, and the final trained model is used in the Inference and Application component. The user provides the dataset and prompts for text generation.

@enduml

1. Data Preparation

• Collect and preprocess a dataset for training, evaluation, and fine-tuning.
• Split the dataset into training, validation, and testing sets.
• Create data loaders for handling data.

2. GPT-2 Model Adaptation

• Load a pre-trained GPT-2 model from Hugging Face Transformers.
• Modify the GPT-2 model architecture to incorporate the FAISS memory model.
• Define a custom loss function that considers both the GPT-2 model's output and the memory model.

3. Training

• Set up the training loop and train the adapted GPT-2 model.
• Save model checkpoints and track training metrics (loss, perplexity, etc.).
• Monitor the training progress, validate the model on the validation set, and perform early stopping if necessary.

4. Evaluation

• Evaluate the trained model on the testing set.
• Calculate evaluation metrics (e.g., perplexity, accuracy, F1-score).

5. Fine-tuning (if necessary)

• If the model's performance on the testing set is not satisfactory, fine-tune the model with different hyperparameters, learning rates, or architectures.
• Iterate through the training and evaluation steps until the desired performance is achieved.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher
• PyTorch
• Hugging Face Transformers
• FAISS (CPU or GPU version)

Contributing

Feel free to contribute to this project by submitting pull requests or opening issues for bug reports and feature requests.

Code Formatting and Pre-commit

This project uses black, flake8, and mypy for Python code formatting and linting. We also use prettier to format JSON and Markdown files. The configuration for these tools is in the .pre-commit-config.yaml file.

Setup

1. Install pre-commit if you haven't already:

pip install pre-commit

2. Set up the git hooks:

pre-commit install

Using Pre-commit

Whenever you commit changes, the pre-commit hooks will automatically format your code and check for issues. If the hooks detect any problems, the commit will be aborted, and you'll see a list of issues that need to be fixed. Once you've resolved the issues, you can try committing again.

You can also run the pre-commit hooks manually on all files:

pre-commit run --all-files

Or run the hooks on specific files:

pre-commit run --files <file1> <file2>

By following this setup and using pre-commit hooks, you can ensure that the code in the repository remains consistently formatted and adheres to the project's coding standards.
