Fine-tuning BART on CNN-Dailymail summarization task

1) Download the CNN and Daily Mail data and preprocess it into data files with non-tokenized cased samples.

Follow the instructions here to download the original CNN and Daily Mail datasets. To preprocess the data, refer to the pointers in this issue or check out the code here.

Follow the instructions here to download the original Extreme Summarization datasets, or check out the code here, Please keep the raw dataset and make sure no tokenization nor BPE on the dataset.

2) BPE preprocess:

wget -N 'https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/fairseq/gpt2_bpe/encoder.json'
wget -N 'https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/fairseq/gpt2_bpe/vocab.bpe'
wget -N 'https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/fairseq/gpt2_bpe/dict.txt'

TASK=cnn_dm
for SPLIT in train val
do
  for LANG in source target
  do
    python -m examples.roberta.multiprocessing_bpe_encoder \
    --encoder-json encoder.json \
    --vocab-bpe vocab.bpe \
    --inputs "$TASK/$SPLIT.$LANG" \
    --outputs "$TASK/$SPLIT.bpe.$LANG" \
    --workers 60 \
    --keep-empty;
  done
done

3) Binarize dataset:

fairseq-preprocess \
  --source-lang "source" \
  --target-lang "target" \
  --trainpref "${TASK}/train.bpe" \
  --validpref "${TASK}/val.bpe" \
  --destdir "${TASK}-bin/" \
  --workers 60 \
  --srcdict dict.txt \
  --tgtdict dict.txt;

4) Fine-tuning on CNN-DM summarization task:

Example fine-tuning CNN-DM

TOTAL_NUM_UPDATES=20000  
WARMUP_UPDATES=500      
LR=3e-05
MAX_TOKENS=2048
UPDATE_FREQ=4
BART_PATH=/path/to/bart/model.pt

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 fairseq-train cnn_dm-bin \

    --max-tokens $MAX_TOKENS \
    --task translation \

    --layernorm-embedding \

    --share-decoder-input-output-embed \
    --reset-optimizer --reset-dataloader --reset-meters \
    --required-batch-size-multiple 1 \
    --arch bart_large \
    --criterion label_smoothed_cross_entropy \
    --label-smoothing 0.1 \
    --dropout 0.1 --attention-dropout 0.1 \
    --weight-decay 0.01 --optimizer adam --adam-betas "(0.9, 0.999)" --adam-eps 1e-08 \
    --clip-norm 0.1 \
    --lr-scheduler polynomial_decay --lr $LR --total-num-update $TOTAL_NUM_UPDATES --warmup-updates $WARMUP_UPDATES \
    --fp16 --update-freq $UPDATE_FREQ \
    --skip-invalid-size-inputs-valid-test \
    --find-unused-parameters;

Above is expected to run on 1 node with 8 32gb-V100. Expected training time is about 5 hours. Training time can be reduced with distributed training on 4 nodes and --update-freq 1.

Use TOTAL_NUM_UPDATES=15000 UPDATE_FREQ=2 for Xsum task

Inference for CNN-DM test data using above trained checkpoint.

After training the model as mentioned in previous step, you can perform inference with checkpoints in checkpoints/ directory using eval_cnn.py, for example

cp data-bin/cnn_dm/dict.source.txt  checkpoints/
python examples/bart/summarize.py \
  --model-dir checkpoints \
  --model-file checkpoint_best.pt \
  --src cnn_dm/test.source \
  --out cnn_dm/test.hypo

For XSUM, which uses beam=6, lenpen=1.0, max_len_b=60, min_len=10:

cp data-bin/cnn_dm/dict.source.txt  checkpoints/
python examples/bart/summarize.py \
  --model-dir checkpoints \
  --model-file checkpoint_best.pt \
  --src cnn_dm/test.source \
  --out cnn_dm/test.hypo \
  --xsum-kwargs
