Part 2 Lesson 10 wiki

[ajennings]

Hi all. I’m using Google Colaboratory and I’m getting an AttributeError when trying to install scipy sparse - module ‘scipy’ has no attribute ‘sparse’. I’ve searched the forums and notice others having the same issue.

Not a fast.ai problem but, just wondering if anyone has found a patch…

I have installed scipy-1.1.0 and also imported it directly using - from scipy import sparse as sp

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is it me or the files are no longer existing at files.fast.ai?

[emilmelnikov]

To me, the files are still there.

Thanks they’re back online now

In the video (right here: https://youtu.be/_ercfViGrgY?t=51m29s), Jeremy says, “as per usual, we do a single epoch on the last layer”, which he explains are the embedding weights, and he does this because they’re the thing that will be the most wrong.

But the code, right before he runs the epoch, but he calls learner.unfreeze() just a few cells above his epoch run, which unfreezes all layers. I’m left to assume there’s some missing code that should be like learner.freeze(-1) or something right before he starts training the language model, no? Any insights here?

Is there a definitive answer to this question anywhere?

Based on the ULMFiT paper, the recommendation is to fine-tune “only the last layer” (section 3.2) before unfreezing and applying discriminative learning rates to the other layers. As such, why is there the line learner.unfreeze() immediately before fitting the model begins? It seems that it should be learner.freeze(-1) unless I’m missing something (which is typically the case )

Hey Christine, I’m starting to take a look at something similar and I’m curious what your results were here?

[adrian]

I thought it was a typo but didn’t get round to reporting it, i do the same with just unfreezing final layer

[echan00]

Did you have any luck with this? Can you not simply add more classes?

[mcleavey]

Hi - Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get better results with the different losses. (I got everything up and running, but the accuracy was always less good.) I’m sure I didn’t exhaust every possibility though, so let me know if you have better success than I did!

Reading Universal Language Model Fine-tuning for Text Classification
Not sure if anyone has commented on this before, but in @jeremy and Sebastian’s excellent paper, there seems to be an error in the STLR formula (3) for p when t>cut. In order to match the figure, it should be something like (T-t)/(T-cut)

[motor_city_cobra]

I understand why this is much better than word embeddings but with this model is there a way to use the words (in the context of the corpus you fed the model) like you would with word embeddings?
For example: the King - man + woman = queen equation?
What exactly does implementing the transfer learned, trained model look like? What can it do besides classifying?
I know chatbots use LSTMs. Maybe someone can point me in the direction to how this model would work in a chatbot? How does one glom meaning from new text run through the trained model? How it would work with translation? How it works with a GAN? How it works with a search? How it works as a Q and A? This would help me understand what exactly is happening with the whole process. Please?

(If someone just wants to give an answer to one of these that’d be appreciated. I know no one person will answer all of this.)

[t-v]

It’s a bit handwavy, but I thought about this a bit (actually the second half).
One thing the LM does over word vectors is keep quite a bit more context - as we are looking at LSTM states.
As such I would expect the equivalent of King - Man + Woman = Queen to be a relatively poor use of such a model.
For chatbots, QA, MT, I think using the encoder (or in the latter encoder + decoder) will be beneficial, as for those the history is natural.

[motor_city_cobra]

Thanks for the answer. I’d like to make a Q and A ‘bot’ with this but I feel I don’t know which direction to go to learn how to make one.
Maybe I can just take a chatbot using word embeddings and modify it to use this lesson’s model instead? I’m too new at this. Sometimes the steps to progress are too high to climb.

Hey guys, have written a blog on Generating your own music using RNNs. Hope you enjoy it.

Oh, now I see lesson 11 is a translator.
Lesson 11 used to be about a CNN with pictures of fish at the beginning.

(I ripped the videos to my hard drive to play on my other devices and hadn’t seen the switch-a-roo)

the robots.txt file is a file that would live on the root or any sub-dir of the root. The goal is to inform web-crawlers to not index or index on the connected site.

I don’t think it’s used much anymore but still a hold over of a earlier version of the internet.

Hello everyone!

I have been reading the paper and investigating the ULMFiT model. Does anybody know what is exactly test? In the paper there are some tables that make reference to Test error and others to Validation error. Are they the same?

As I understand, in IMDb model, the validation set is the only test set that is used. Am I wrong and there is another one? Thanks!

Going through sentiment analysis through the twitter dataset, found the dataset contains lots of url and text emoji what is the best way to handle this, remove or leave it? Also I am seeing lot of continues exclamation marks like !!! any way to avoid those things.?

[Maxisawesome]

I’m getting an error when trying to tokenize the data. “os.fork()” is returning “OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument,” which seems pretty bizarre. I’m running on windows subsystem linux. One solution would be for someone to send me their saved file of the tokens for the model (I would love you so so so much). Otherwise, any help is appreciated.

I am using Paperspace Gradient notebook for the course and would appreciate some help in downloading the IMDb data to the environment. It appears as though Gradient notebook is some closed environment which only contains some fast.ai data sets (https://paperspace.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003092514-Public-Datasets) but not IMDb!

Asked another way: can we use Gradient notebook to run Lesson 10 ULMFit?

Thanks
