Find our previous version [P-tuning v1](https://github.com/THUDM/P-tuning) for knowledge probing and few-shot SuperGLUE. Your kindly starring our repo can greatly encourage us to work harder :) You may be also interested in our recent work [GLM-130B: An Open Bilingual Pre-trained Model (2022-10-06)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.02414). It is an open-sourced LLM outperforming GPT-3 175B over various benchmarks.

P-tuning v2 leverages **deep prompt tuning**, which is to apply continuous prompts for every layer input of the pretrained transformer. Deep prompt tuning increases the capacity of continuous prompts and closes the gap to fine-tuning across various settings, especially for small models and hard tasks. Thanks [@rainatam](https://github.com/rainatam)'s joint effort in re-organizing codes for publishing! ## Commonly Asked Question 1. Some readers notice a **'mismatch'** in SuperGLUE between P-tuning (v1) and P-tuning v2: This is because in P-tuning's SuperGLUE experiment, for fair comparison to PET, we follow its experimental setting where backbone pre-trained model parameters are jointly tuned with continuous prompt embeddings; while in P-tuning v2, we follow Prefix tuning and Lester et al.'s parameter-efficient setting where backbone pre-trained model parameters are frozen. ## Reproduce Tips Since experiments reported in our paper are all conducted on NVIDIA DGX-A100 servers (which might be difficult to acquire), we reimplement P-tuning v2's results on BERT-large/RoBERTa-large with: * Ubuntu servers with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (24G) GPUs * cuda 11.1 * packages with certain versions (provided below) We notice that the best hyper-parameters can be sensitive to your server environment and package version. If you do not have the exact same environment, we highly recommend you to run hyper-parameter search in your environment based on our example hyper-parameter search script in [search_script](search_script) and result collection scripts [search.py](search.py). ### Setup We conduct our experiment with Anaconda3. If you have installed Anaconda3, then create the environment for P-tuning v2: ```shell conda create -n pt2 python=3.8.5 conda activate pt2 ``` After we setup basic conda environment, install pytorch related packages via: ```shell conda install -n pt2 pytorch==1.7.1 torchvision==0.8.2 torchaudio==0.7.2 cudatoolkit=11.0 -c pytorch ``` Finally, install other python packages we need: ```shell pip install -r requirements.txt ``` ### Data For SuperGLUE and SQuAD datasets, we download them from the Huggingface Datasets APIs (embedded in our codes). For sequence tagging (NER, SRL) datasets, we prepare a non-official packup [here](https://zenodo.org/record/6318701/files/P-tuning-v2_data.tar.gz?download=1). After downloading, unzip the packup to the project root. Please use at your own risk. ### Training Run training scripts in [run_script](run_script) (e.g., RoBERTa for RTE): ```shell bash run_script/run_rte_roberta.sh ``` ### Implemented Results Currently we have released our reimplementation on following tasks and datasets. More implementation will be released soon.
