# LAMA: LAnguage Model Analysis
LAMA

LAMA is a probe for analyzing the factual and commonsense knowledge contained in pretrained language models.

#### The dataset for the LAMA probe is available at https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/LAMA/data.zip

LAMA contains a set of connectors to pretrained language models.

LAMA exposes a transparent and unique interface to use:

- Transformer-XL (Dai et al., 2019)
- BERT (Devlin et al., 2018)
- ELMo (Peters et al., 2018)
- GPT (Radford et al., 2018)
- RoBERTa (Liu et al., 2019)

Actually, LAMA is also a beautiful animal.

## Reference:

The LAMA probe is described in the following papers:

```

## The LAMA probe

To reproduce our results:

### 1. Create conda environment and install requirements

(optional) It might be a good idea to use a separate conda environment. It can be created by running:
```
conda create -n lama37 -y python=3.7 && conda activate lama37
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### 2. Download the data

```bash
wget https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/LAMA/data.zip
unzip data.zip
rm data.zip
```

### 3. Download the models

#### DISCLAIMER: ~55 GB on disk

Install spacy model
```bash
python3 -m spacy download en
```

Download the models
```bash
chmod +x download_models.sh
./download_models.sh
```

The script will create and populate a _pre-trained_language_models_ folder.
If you are interested in a particular model please edit the script.

### 4. Run the experiments

```bash
python scripts/run_experiments.py
```

results will be logged in _output/_ and _last_results.csv_.

## Other versions of LAMA

### LAMA-UHN

This repository also provides a script (`scripts/create_lama_uhn.py`) to create the data used in (Poerner et al., 2019).

### Negated-LAMA
This repository also gives the option to evalute how pretrained language models handle negated probes (Kassner et al., 2019), set the flag `use_negated_probes` in `scripts/run_experiments.py`. Also, you should use this version of the LAMA probe https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/LAMA/negated_data.tar.gz

## What else can you do with LAMA?

### 1. Encode a list of sentences
and use the vectors in your downstream task!

```bash
pip install -e git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/LAMA#egg=LAMA
```

```python
import argparse
from lama.build_encoded_dataset import encode, load_encoded_dataset

PARAMETERS= {
"lm": "bert",
"bert_model_name": "bert-large-cased",
"bert_model_dir":
"pre-trained_language_models/bert/cased_L-24_H-1024_A-16",
"bert_vocab_name": "vocab.txt",
"batch_size": 32
}

args = argparse.Namespace(**PARAMETERS)

sentences = [
["The cat is on the table ."], # single-sentence instance
["The dog is sleeping on the sofa .", "He makes happy noises ."], # two-sentence
]

encoded_dataset = encode(args, sentences)
print("Embedding shape: %s" % str(encoded_dataset[0].embedding.shape))
print("Tokens: %r" % encoded_dataset[0].tokens)

# save on disk the encoded dataset
encoded_dataset.save("test.pkl")

# load from disk the encoded dataset
new_encoded_dataset = load_encoded_dataset("test.pkl")
print("Embedding shape: %s" % str(new_encoded_dataset[0].embedding.shape))
print("Tokens: %r" % new_encoded_dataset[0].tokens)
```

### 2. Fill a sentence with a gap.

You should use the symbol ```[MASK]``` to specify the gap.
Only single-token gap supported - i.e., a single ```[MASK]```.
```bash
python lama/eval_generation.py \
--lm "bert" \
--t "The cat is on the [MASK]."
```
cat_on_the_phone
cat_on_the_phone
source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bluebell_on_the_phone.jpg

Note that you could use this functionality to answer _cloze-style_ questions, such as:

```bash
python lama/eval_generation.py \
--lm "bert" \
--t "The theory of relativity was developed by [MASK] ."
```

## Install LAMA with pip

Clone the repo
```bash
git clone [email protected]:facebookresearch/LAMA.git && cd LAMA
```
Install as an editable package:
```bash
pip install --editable .
```

If you get an error in mac os x, please try running this instead
```bash
CFLAGS="-Wno-deprecated-declarations -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++" pip install --editable .
```

## Language Model(s) options

Option to indicate which language model(s) to use:
* __--language-models/--lm__ : comma separated list of language models (__REQUIRED__)

### BERT
BERT pretrained models can be loaded both: (i) passing the name of the model and using huggingface cached versions or (ii) passing the folder containing the vocabulary and the PyTorch pretrained model (look at convert_tf_checkpoint_to_pytorch in [here](https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-pretrained-BERT) to convert the TensorFlow model to PyTorch).

* __--bert-model-dir/--bmd__ : directory that contains the BERT pre-trained model and the vocabulary
* __--bert-model-name/--bmn__ : name of the huggingface cached versions of the BERT pre-trained model (default = 'bert-base-cased')
* __--bert-vocab-name/--bvn__ : name of vocabulary used to pre-train the BERT model (default = 'vocab.txt')

### RoBERTa

* __--roberta-model-dir/--rmd__ : directory that contains the RoBERTa pre-trained model and the vocabulary (__REQUIRED__)
* __--roberta-model-name/--rmn__ : name of the RoBERTa pre-trained model (default = 'model.pt')
* __--roberta-vocab-name/--rvn__ : name of vocabulary used to pre-train the RoBERTa model (default = 'dict.txt')

### ELMo

* __--elmo-model-dir/--emd__ : directory that contains the ELMo pre-trained model and the vocabulary (__REQUIRED__)
* __--elmo-model-name/--emn__ : name of the ELMo pre-trained model (default = 'elmo_2x4096_512_2048cnn_2xhighway')
* __--elmo-vocab-name/--evn__ : name of vocabulary used to pre-train the ELMo model (default = 'vocab-2016-09-10.txt')

### Transformer-XL

* __--transformerxl-model-dir/--tmd__ : directory that contains the pre-trained model and the vocabulary (__REQUIRED__)
* __--transformerxl-model-name/--tmn__ : name of the pre-trained model (default = 'transfo-xl-wt103')

### GPT

* __--gpt-model-dir/--gmd__ : directory that contains the gpt pre-trained model and the vocabulary (__REQUIRED__)
* __--gpt-model-name/--gmn__ : name of the gpt pre-trained model (default = 'openai-gpt')

## Evaluate Language Model(s) Generation

options:
* __--text/--t__ : text to compute the generation for
* __--i__ : interactive mode

one of the two is required

example considering both BERT and ELMo:
```bash
python lama/eval_generation.py \
--lm "bert,elmo" \
--bmd "pre-trained_language_models/bert/cased_L-24_H-1024_A-16/" \
--emd "pre-trained_language_models/elmo/original/" \
--t "The cat is on the [MASK]."
```

example considering only BERT with the default pre-trained model, in an interactive fashion:
```bash
python lamas/eval_generation.py \
--lm "bert" \
--i
```

## Get Contextual Embeddings

```bash
python lama/get_contextual_embeddings.py \
--lm "bert,elmo" \
--bmn bert-base-cased \
--emd "pre-trained_language_models/elmo/original/"
```

## Unified vocabulary
The intersection of the vocabularies for all considered models
- [cased](https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/LAMA/common_vocab_cased.txt)
- [lowercased](https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/LAMA/common_vocab_lowercased.txt)

## Troubleshooting

If the module cannot be found, preface the python command with `PYTHONPATH=.`

If the experiments fail on GPU memory allocation, try reducing batch size.
