## Distributed training and mixed precision
All the PyTorch scripts mentioned above work out of the box with distributed training and mixed precision, thanks to
the [Trainer API](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main_classes/trainer.html). To launch one of them on _n_ GPUS,
use the following command:
```bash
python -m torch.distributed.launch \
--nproc_per_node number_of_gpu_you_have path_to_script.py \
--all_arguments_of_the_script
```
As an example, here is how you would fine-tune the BERT large model (with whole word masking) on the text
classification MNLI task using the `run_glue` script, with 8 GPUs:
```bash
python -m torch.distributed.launch \
--nproc_per_node 8 text-classification/run_glue.py \
--model_name_or_path bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking \
--task_name mnli \
--do_train \
--do_eval \
--max_seq_length 128 \
--per_device_train_batch_size 8 \
--learning_rate 2e-5 \
--num_train_epochs 3.0 \
--output_dir /tmp/mnli_output/
```
If you have a GPU with mixed precision capabilities (architecture Pascal or more recent), you can use mixed precision
training with PyTorch 1.6.0 or latest, or by installing the [Apex](https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex) library for previous
versions. Just add the flag `--fp16` to your command launching one of the scripts mentioned above!
Using mixed precision training usually results in 2x-speedup for training with the same final results (as shown in
[this table](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/master/examples/text-classification#mixed-precision-training)
for text classification).

## GLUE Benchmark # Text classification examples
## PyTorch version
Based on the script [`run_glue.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/master/examples/text-classification/run_glue.py).
Fine-tuning the library models for sequence classification on the GLUE benchmark: [General Language Understanding
Evaluation](https://gluebenchmark.com/). This script can fine-tune any of the models on the [hub](https://huggingface.co/models)
and can also be used for your own data in a csv or a JSON file (the script might need some tweaks in that case, refer
to the comments inside for help).
GLUE is made up of a total of 9 different tasks. Here is how to run the script on one of them:
```bash
export TASK_NAME=mrpc
python run_glue.py \
--model_name_or_path bert-base-cased \
--task_name $TASK_NAME \
--do_train \
--do_eval \
--max_seq_length 128 \
--per_device_train_batch_size 32 \
--learning_rate 2e-5 \
--num_train_epochs 3 \
--output_dir /tmp/$TASK_NAME/
```
where task name can be one of cola, sst2, mrpc, stsb, qqp, mnli, qnli, rte, wnli.
We get the following results on the dev set of the benchmark with the previous commands (with an exception for MRPC and
WNLI which are tiny and where we used 5 epochs isntead of 3). Trainings are seeded so you should obtain the same
results with PyTorch 1.6.0 (and close results with different versions), training times are given for information (a
single Titan RTX was used):
| Task | Metric | Result | Training time |
|-------|------------------------------|-------------|---------------|
| CoLA | Matthew's corr | 56.53 | 3:17 |
| SST-2 | Accuracy | 92.32 | 26:06 |
| MRPC | F1/Accuracy | 88.85/84.07 | 2:21 |
| STS-B | Person/Spearman corr. | 88.64/88.48 | 2:13 |

| QNLI | Accuracy | 90.66 | 40:57 |
| RTE | Accuracy | 65.70 | 57 |
| WNLI | Accuracy | 56.34 | 24 |
Some of these results are significantly different from the ones reported on the test set of GLUE benchmark on the
website. For QQP and WNLI, please refer to [FAQ #12](https://gluebenchmark.com/faq) on the website.
### Mixed precision training

training with PyTorch 1.6.0 or latest, or by installing the [Apex](https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex) library for previous
versions. Just add the flag `--fp16` to your command launching one of the scripts mentioned above!

Based on the script [`run_glue.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/master/examples/text-classification/run_glue.py). ## XNLI
Fine-tuning the library models for sequence classification on the GLUE benchmark: [General Language Understanding
Evaluation](https://gluebenchmark.com/). This script can fine-tune the following models: BERT, XLM, XLNet and RoBERTa.
GLUE is made up of a total of 9 different tasks. We get the following results on the dev set of the benchmark with an
uncased BERT base model (the checkpoint `bert-base-uncased`). All experiments ran single V100 GPUs with a total train
batch sizes between 16 and 64. Some of these tasks have a small dataset and training can lead to high variance in the results
between different runs. We report the median on 5 runs (with different seeds) for each of the metrics.
| Task | Metric | Result |
|-------|------------------------------|-------------|
| CoLA | Matthew's corr | 49.23 |
| SST-2 | Accuracy | 91.97 |
| MRPC | F1/Accuracy | 89.47/85.29 |

| QNLI | Accuracy | 87.46 |
| RTE | Accuracy | 61.73 |
| WNLI | Accuracy | 45.07 |
Some of these results are significantly different from the ones reported on the test set
of GLUE benchmark on the website. For QQP and WNLI, please refer to [FAQ #12](https://gluebenchmark.com/faq) on the
website.
```bash
export TASK_NAME=MRPC
python run_glue.py \
--model_name_or_path bert-base-cased \
--task_name $TASK_NAME \
--do_train \
--do_eval \
--max_seq_length 128 \
--per_device_train_batch_size 32 \
--learning_rate 2e-5 \
--num_train_epochs 3.0 \
--output_dir /tmp/$TASK_NAME/
```
where task name can be one of CoLA, SST-2, MRPC, STS-B, QQP, MNLI, QNLI, RTE, WNLI.
The dev set results will be present within the text file `eval_results.txt` in the specified output_dir.
In case of MNLI, since there are two separate dev sets (matched and mismatched), there will be a separate
output folder called `/tmp/MNLI-MM/` in addition to `/tmp/MNLI/`.
The code has not been tested with half-precision training with apex on any GLUE task apart from MRPC, MNLI,
CoLA, SST-2. The following section provides details on how to run half-precision training with MRPC. With that being
said, there shouldn’t be any issues in running half-precision training with the remaining GLUE tasks as well,
since the data processor for each task inherits from the base class DataProcessor.
## Running on TPUs in PyTorch
Even when running PyTorch, you can accelerate your workloads on Google's TPUs, using `pytorch/xla`. For information on
how to setup your TPU environment refer to the
[pytorch/xla README](https://github.com/pytorch/xla/blob/master/README.md).
For running your GLUE task on MNLI dataset you can run something like the following form the root of the transformers
repo:
```
python examples/xla_spawn.py \
--num_cores=8 \
transformers/examples/text-classification/run_glue.py \
--do_train \
--do_eval \
--task_name=mrpc \
--num_train_epochs=3 \
--max_seq_length=128 \
--learning_rate=5e-5 \
--output_dir=/tmp/mrpc \
--overwrite_output_dir \
--logging_steps=5 \
--save_steps=5 \
--tpu_metrics_debug \
--model_name_or_path=bert-base-cased \
--per_device_train_batch_size=64 \
--per_device_eval_batch_size=64
```
#### Using Apex and mixed-precision
Using Apex and 16 bit precision, the fine-tuning on MRPC only takes 27 seconds. First install
[apex](https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex), then run the following example:
```bash
python run_glue.py \
--model_name_or_path bert-base-cased \
--task_name MRPC \
--do_train \
--do_eval \
--max_seq_length 128 \
--per_device_train_batch_size 32 \
--learning_rate 2e-5 \
--num_train_epochs 3.0 \
--output_dir /tmp/mrpc_output/ \
--fp16
```
#### Distributed training
Here is an example using distributed training on 8 V100 GPUs. The model used is the BERT whole-word-masking and it
reaches F1 > 92 on MRPC.
```bash
python -m torch.distributed.launch \
--nproc_per_node 8 run_glue.py \
--model_name_or_path bert-base-cased \
--task_name mrpc \
--do_train \
--do_eval \
--max_seq_length 128 \
--per_device_train_batch_size 8 \
--learning_rate 2e-5 \
--num_train_epochs 3.0 \
--output_dir /tmp/mrpc_output/
```
Training with these hyper-parameters gave us the following results:
```bash
acc = 0.8823529411764706
acc_and_f1 = 0.901702786377709
eval_loss = 0.3418912578906332
f1 = 0.9210526315789473
global_step = 174
loss = 0.07231863956341798
```
### MNLI
The following example uses the BERT-large, uncased, whole-word-masking model and fine-tunes it on the MNLI task.
```bash
export GLUE_DIR=/path/to/glue
python -m torch.distributed.launch \
--nproc_per_node 8 run_glue.py \
--model_name_or_path bert-base-cased \
--task_name mnli \
--do_train \
--do_eval \
--max_seq_length 128 \
--per_device_train_batch_size 8 \
--learning_rate 2e-5 \
--num_train_epochs 3.0 \
--output_dir output_dir \
```
The results are the following:
```bash
***** Eval results *****
acc = 0.8679706601466992
eval_loss = 0.4911287787382479
global_step = 18408
loss = 0.04755385363816904
***** Eval results *****
acc = 0.8747965825874695
eval_loss = 0.45516540421714036
global_step = 18408
loss = 0.04755385363816904
```
