How do I load a fine-tuned AllenNLP BERT-SRL model using BertPreTrainedModel.from_pretrained()?


I have fine-tuned a BERT model for semantic role labeling, using AllenNLP. This produces a model directory (serialization directory, if I recall?) that contains the following:

best.th
config.json
meta.json
metrics_epoch_0.json
metrics_epoch_10.json
metrics_epoch_11.json
metrics_epoch_12.json
metrics_epoch_13.json
metrics_epoch_14.json
metrics_epoch_1.json
metrics_epoch_2.json
metrics_epoch_3.json
metrics_epoch_4.json
metrics_epoch_5.json
metrics_epoch_6.json
metrics_epoch_7.json
metrics_epoch_8.json
metrics_epoch_9.json
metrics.json
model_state_e14_b0.th
model_state_e15_b0.th
model.tar.gz
out.log
training_state_e14_b0.th
training_state_e15_b0.th
vocabulary

Where vocabulary is a folder with labels.txt and non_padded_namespaces.txt.

I'd now like to use this fine-tuned model BERT model as the initialization when learning a related task, event extraction, using this library: https://github.com/wilsonlau-uw/BERT-EE (ie I want to exploit some transfer learning). The config.ini file has a line for fine_tuned_path, where I can specify an already-fine-tuned model that I want to use here. I provided the path to the AllenNLP serialization directory, and I got the following error:

2022-04-05 13:07:28,112 -  INFO - setting seed 23

Of course, the serialization directory doesn't have any of those files, hence the error. I tried unzipping model.tar.gz but it only has:

config.json
weights.th
vocabulary/
vocabulary/.lock
vocabulary/labels.txt
vocabulary/non_padded_namespaces.txt
meta.json

Digging into the codebase of the GitHub repo I linked above, I can see that BERT_EE_model inherits from BertPreTrainedModel from the transformers library, so the trick would seem to be getting the AllenNLP model into a format that BertPreTrainedModel.from_pretrained() can load...?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Solution

  • I believe I have figured this out. Basically, I had to re-load my model archive, access the underlying model and tokenizer, and then save those:

    from allennlp.models.archival import load_archive
    from allennlp_models.structured_prediction import SemanticRoleLabeler, srl, srl_bert
    
    archive = load_archive('ser_pure_clinical_bert-large_thyme_and_ontonotes/model.tar.gz')
    
    bert_model = archive.model.bert_model #type is transformers.models.bert.modeling_bert.BertModel
    bert_model.save_pretrained('ser_pure_clinical_bert-large_thyme_and_ontonotes_save_pretrained/')
    
    bert_tokenizer = archive.dataset_reader.bert_tokenizer
    bert_tokenizer.save_pretrained('ser_pure_clinical_bert-large_thyme_and_ontonotes_save_pretrained/')
    

    (This last part is probably less interesting to most folks, but also, in the config.ini I mentioned, the directory 'ser_pure_clinical_bert-large_thyme_and_ontonotes_save_pretrained' needed to be passed to the line pretrained_model_name_or_path not to fine_tuned_path.)
