# Text Embedding with Transformers

*author: [Jael Gu](https://github.com/jaelgu)*

<br />

## Description

A text embedding operator takes a sentence, paragraph, or document in string as an input
and output an embedding vector in ndarray which captures the input's core semantic elements.
This operator is implemented with pre-trained models from [Huggingface Transformers](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers).

<br />

## Code Example

Use the pre-trained model 'distilbert-base-cased'
to generate a text embedding for the sentence "Hello, world.".

*Write a same pipeline with explicit inputs/outputs name specifications:*

- **option 1 (towhee>=0.9.0):**
```python
from towhee.dc2 import pipe, ops, DataCollection

p = (
    pipe.input('text')
        .map('text', 'vec', ops.text_embedding.transformers(model_name='distilbert-base-cased'))
        .output('text', 'vec')
)

DataCollection(p('Hello, world.')).show()
```

<img src="./result.png" width="800px"/>

- **option 2:**

```python
import towhee

(
    towhee.dc['text'](["Hello, world."])
          .text_embedding.transformers['text', 'vec'](model_name="distilbert-base-cased")
          .show()
)
```

<br />

## Factory Constructor

Create the operator via the following factory method:

***text_embedding.transformers(model_name=None)***

**Parameters:**

***model_name***: *str*

The model name in string, defaults to None.
If None, the operator will be initialized without specified model.

***checkpoint_path***: *str*

The path to local checkpoint, defaults to None.
If None, the operator will download and load pretrained model by `model_name` from Huggingface transformers.

<br /> 

***tokenizer***: *object*

The method to tokenize input text, defaults to None.
If None, the operator will use default tokenizer by `model_name` from Huggingface transformers.

<br />

## Interface

The operator takes a piece of text in string as input.
It loads tokenizer and pre-trained model using model name.
and then return text embedding in ndarray.

***\_\_call\_\_(txt)***

**Parameters:**

***txt***: *str*

​	The text in string.


**Returns**:

*numpy.ndarray*

​	The text embedding extracted by model.

<br />

***save_model(format='pytorch', path='default')***

Save model to local with specified format.

**Parameters:**

***format***: *str*

​	The format of saved model, defaults to 'pytorch'.

***path***: *str*

​	The path where model is saved to. By default, it will save model to the operator directory.

```python
from towhee import ops

op = ops.text_embedding.transformers(model_name='distilbert-base-cased').get_op()
op.save_model('onnx', 'test.onnx')
```
PosixPath('/Home/.towhee/operators/text-embedding/transformers/main/test.onnx')

<br />

***supported_model_names(format=None)***

Get a list of all supported model names or supported model names for specified model format.

**Parameters:**

***format***: *str*

​	The model format such as 'pytorch', 'torchscript'.

```python
from towhee import ops


op = ops.text_embedding.transformers().get_op()
full_list = op.supported_model_names()
onnx_list = op.supported_model_names(format='onnx')
print(f'Onnx-support/Total Models: {len(onnx_list)}/{len(full_list)}')
```

## Fine-tune
### Requirement
If you want to train this operator, besides dependency in requirements.txt, you need install these dependencies.
```python
! python -m pip install datasets evaluate scikit-learn
```
### Get start
We have prepared some most typical use of [finetune examples](https://github.com/towhee-io/examples/tree/main/fine_tune/6_train_language_modeling_tasks).

Simply speaking, you only need to construct an op instance and pass in some configurations to train the specified task.
```python
import towhee

bert_op = towhee.ops.text_embedding.transformers(model_name='bert-base-uncased').get_op()
data_args = {
    'dataset_name': 'wikitext',
    'dataset_config_name': 'wikitext-2-raw-v1',
}
training_args = {
    'num_train_epochs': 3, # you can add epoch number to get a better metric.
    'per_device_train_batch_size': 8,
    'per_device_eval_batch_size': 8,
    'do_train': True,
    'do_eval': True,
    'output_dir': './tmp/test-mlm',
    'overwrite_output_dir': True
}
bert_op.train(task='mlm', data_args=data_args, training_args=training_args)

```
For more infos, refer to the [examples](https://github.com/towhee-io/examples/tree/main/fine_tune/6_train_language_modeling_tasks).

### Dive deep and customize your training
You can change the [training script](https://towhee.io/text-embedding/transformers/src/branch/main/train_clm_with_hf_trainer.py) in your customer way. 
Or your can refer to the original [hugging face transformers training examples](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/examples/pytorch/language-modeling).
