是否可以仅冻结pytorch嵌入层中的某些嵌入权重？

Question

在NLP任务中使用GloVe嵌入时，GloVe中可能不存在来自数据集的某些单词。因此，我们为这些未知单词实例化随机权重。

是否可以冻结从GloVe获得的重量，并仅训练新实例化的重量？

我只知道我们可以设置： model.embedding.weight.requires_grad = False

但这会使新单词变得不容易训练。

或者还有更好的方法来提取单词的语义。

Answer 1

1。将嵌入分为两个单独的对象

一种方法是使用两个单独的嵌入一个用于预训练，另一种用于一个待训练。

GloVe应当被冻结，而没有预训练表示的那一则应从可训练层中获取。

如果格式化您的数据，对于预训练的令牌表示，它的范围比没有GloVe表示的令牌的范围小。假设您的预训练索引在[0，300]范围内，而没有代表性的索引在[301，500]。我会遵循以下原则：

import numpy as np
import torch


class YourNetwork(torch.nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, glove_embeddings: np.array, how_many_tokens_not_present: int):
        self.pretrained_embedding = torch.nn.Embedding.from_pretrained(glove_embeddings)
        self.trainable_embedding = torch.nn.Embedding(
            how_many_tokens_not_present, glove_embeddings.shape[1]
        )
        # Rest of your network setup

    def forward(self, batch):
        # Which tokens in batch do not have representation, should have indices BIGGER
        # than the pretrained ones, adjust your data creating function accordingly
        mask = batch > self.pretrained_embedding.shape[0]

        # You may want to optimize it, you could probably get away without copy, though
        # I'm not currently sure how
        pretrained_batch = batch.copy()
        pretrained_batch[mask] = 0

        embedded_batch = self.pretrained_embedding[pretrained_batch]

        # Every token without representation has to be brought into appropriate range
        batch -= self.pretrained_embedding.shape[0]
        # Zero out the ones which already have pretrained embedding
        batch[~mask] = 0
        non_pretrained_embedded_batch = self.trainable_embedding(batch)

        # And finally change appropriate tokens from placeholder embedding created by
        # pretrained into trainable embeddings.
        embedded_batch[mask] = non_pretrained_embedded_batch[mask]

        # Rest of your code
        ...

假设您的预训练索引在[0，300]范围内，而没有代表性的索引在[301，500]。

2。指定令牌的零梯度。

这有点棘手，但我认为它非常简洁且易于实现。因此，如果获得没有GloVe表示形式的标记的索引，则可以在反向传播后将它们的梯度显式归零，这样这些行就不会被更新。

import torch

embedding = torch.nn.Embedding(10, 3)
X = torch.LongTensor([[1, 2, 4, 5], [4, 3, 2, 9]])

values = embedding(X)
loss = values.mean()

# Use whatever loss you want
loss.backward()

# Let's say those indices in your embedding are pretrained (have GloVe representation)
indices = torch.LongTensor([2, 4, 5])

print("Before zeroing out gradient")
print(embedding.weight.grad)

print("After zeroing out gradient")
embedding.weight.grad[indices] = 0
print(embedding.weight.grad)

第二种方法的输出：

Before zeroing out gradient
tensor([[0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000],
        [0.0417, 0.0417, 0.0417],
        [0.0833, 0.0833, 0.0833],
        [0.0417, 0.0417, 0.0417],
        [0.0833, 0.0833, 0.0833],
        [0.0417, 0.0417, 0.0417],
        [0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000],
        [0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000],
        [0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000],
        [0.0417, 0.0417, 0.0417]])
After zeroing out gradient
tensor([[0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000],
        [0.0417, 0.0417, 0.0417],
        [0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000],
        [0.0417, 0.0417, 0.0417],
        [0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000],
        [0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000],
        [0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000],
        [0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000],
        [0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000],
        [0.0417, 0.0417, 0.0417]])
