Chinese Text Classification using BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers), BERT variants and ERNIE (Enhanced Language Representation with Informative Entities), implemented by PyTorch, monitored training by WandB (Weights & Biases)
Weights & Biases is the machine learning platform for developers to build better models faster. Use W&B's lightweight, interoperable tools to quickly track experiments, version and iterate on datasets, evaluate model performance, reproduce models, visualize results and spot regressions, and share findings with colleagues.

Dataset Segmentation：
| Dataset | Rows |
|---|---|
| Train | 12k |
| Valid | 2.5k |
| Test | 2.5k |
- Formatize the Chinese dataset to specified format
- txt file format, each row: {1 text}{1 tab space}{label id}
- provided code for transform json file into text file
- json file format, each row: {"label":"11","label_des":"class","sentence":"xxx"}
| Model | Accuracy | #words in sentence (padding size) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| bert | 53.83% | 32 | |
| bert | 55.18% | 128 | |
| bert_CNN | 58.25% | 32 | bert + CNN |
| bert_CNN | 58.21% | 64 | bert + CNN |
| bert_RCNN | 55.91% | 32 | bert + RCNN |
| ERNIE | 58.95% | 32 | ERNIE |
| ERNIE | 59.25% | 64 | ERNIE |
Previous test on models including TextCNN, TextRNN, TextRNN+Att, TextRCNN, DRCNN and Transformer, those performance are worse than that of BERT family and ERNIE models. BERT models with connected components are slightly better than pure BERT model. ERNIE model is the best among those models.
BERT related documents are located at directory /bert_pretain，ERNIE are at /ERNIE_pretrain，those documents should be existed for both directories：
- pytorch_model.bin
- bert_config.json
- vocab.txt

(ERNIE_pretrain file rename: config.json-> bert_config.json)
After decompression, all required files in pretrain directories are ready.
This repository is built for feeding json text file. All json files are supposed to locate at THUCNews/data directory.
# json_to_txt will generate files (train.txt, dev.txt, test.txt and test2.txt) based on provided json files in THUCNews/data
python json_to_txt.py --datafile THUCNews/data
# model training requires train set (train.txt), validation set (dev.txt), test set with labels (remarks test.txt and dev.txt are the same)
# model inference requires test set (test2.txt)
Execution after download pretrained models
# Train：
## model options: bert, bert_CNN, bert_RNN, bert_RCNN, bert_DPCNN, ERNIE
# bert
python run.py --model bert
# bert + other extensions
python run.py --model bert_CNN
# ERNIE
python run.py --model ERNIE
# Choose one of models for inference (THUCNews/saved_dict)存在的model.ckpt
## model options: bert, bert_CNN, bert_RNN, bert_RCNN, bert_DPCNN, ERNIE
python pred.py --model ERNIE
# generate test_pred.json as the inference result
pip install wandb
wandb login
# input API key in login page into cmd prompt
# before training, you could rename your experiment in models/bert_xxx.py, modify model_name(line 12), this name would be recorded as the name of experiment in WandB page.
# Open WandB repository page to monitor training process
All models under directory /models，including hyperparameters and model architectures.
- Add model explanation part using SHAP values
- Display SHAP plots on WandB
