Geez, it’s May! What a weird time

D20

• Chatted with Zach. He’s bogged down in database issues, but I think it’s coming along

GPT-2 Agents

• Upgrade TF, Torch, transformers, Nvidia, and CUDA on laptop
• Set up input and output files
• Pull char count of probe out and add that to the total generated
• Try training on Moby Dick as per these instructions
  • The following example fine-tunes GPT-2 on WikiText-2. We’re using the raw WikiText-2 (no tokens were replaced before the tokenization). The loss here is that of causal language modeling.

    export TRAIN_FILE=/path/to/dataset/wiki.train.raw
    export TEST_FILE=/path/to/dataset/wiki.test.raw
    
    python run_language_modeling.py \
        --output_dir=output \
        --model_type=gpt2 \
        --model_name_or_path=gpt2 \
        --do_train \
        --train_data_file=$TRAIN_FILE \
        --do_eval \
        --eval_data_file=$TEST_FILE
    

    This takes about half an hour to train on a single K80 GPU and about one minute for the evaluation to run. It reaches a score of ~20 perplexity once fine-tuned on the dataset.

• Ran with this command

  python run_language_modeling.py --output_dir=output .\gpt2data\moby_dick_model --model_type=gpt2 --model_name_or_path=gpt2 --do_train --train_data_file=.\gptdata\moby_dick_train.txt --do_eval --eval_data_file=.\gptdata\moby_dick_test.txt

  Which started the task correctly, but…

  RuntimeError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 96.00 MiB (GPU 0; 8.00 GiB total capacity; 6.26 GiB already allocated; 77.55 MiB free; 6.31 GiB reserved in total by PyTorch)

  Guess I’ll try running it on my work machine. If it runs there, I guess it’s time to upgrade my graphics card

• That was not the problem! There is something going on with batch size. Added  per_gpu_train_batch_size=1
• Couldn’t use links. os.isfile() chokes
• The model doesn’t seem to be saved? Looks like it is:

• Found it. It defaults to the output directory in transformers/examples
• To get this version, which is a PyTorch model, you have to add the ‘from_pt=True‘ argument:

  model = TFGPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained("../data/moby_dick_model", pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id, from_pt=True)

• And the results are great!

• Need to get the chess database and build a corpora. Working on a PGN to English translator. Doesn’t look toooooo bad

GOES

• • Continue with GANS. Maybe explore 1D CNNs?
  • The run with the high-frequency run actually looks pretty good:
    

    

    I think it may be a better use of my time to assemble all the components for a first pass proof-of concept

• 10:00 Meeting with Vadim and Isaac
  • I walked through the whole controller architecture from the base class to the running version. Vadim will start implementing a Sim2 version using the base classes and the dictionary. Then we can work on writing to and reading from InfluxDB
