Exercise 5

import torch

Task 1: Download and inspect a DatasetDict

1. Download the dair-ai/emotion dataset

2. Find out how many rows and columns it has

3. Find the cache directory and convince yourself that you would know how to delete the dataset to free up space

4. Create a pandas DataFrame containing the training split of the data

Task 2: DatasetDict.map

Use DatasetDict.map to add a new variable called label_name to the dataset. The translation is as follows: sadness (0), joy (1), love (2), anger (3), fear (4), surprise (5).

Test the function on one row before you call map

Task 3: Batched map

Rewrite the function from the previous task such that it works if you set batched=True in map, i.e. if you do emotions.map(my_func, batched=True)

Use the strategies you have just learned to find out how this works. Don’t try out random things!

Task 4: Write Tokenizers

Write a function called character_tokenizer that takes a string and returns a list of tokens. Use all characters of the latin alphabet and distingish lowercase and uppercase characters. Don’t forget puntcuation. Encode the following text:

text = "Programming isn't about what you know; it's about what you can figure out."

Even this simple example shows you that a lot can go wrong when coding your own tokenizer. Always use pre-trained or pre-implemented tokenizers in practice!

Task 5: Use a pretrained tokenizer

Use a pre-trained tokenizer for the "distilbert-base-uncased" model to encode the text from above. Decode each token so you can see how words were split into tokens.

Now wrap the tokenizer into into a function called tokenize and tokenize the entire dataset using DatasetDict.map.

For the tokenizer, the settings should be: - padding=True - truncate=True For map the settings should be: - batched=True, - batch_size=None,

Hint, if you write the function correctly, the following should work:

tokenize(emotions["train"][:3])

Important

Setting batched=True and batch_size=None means that all tweets are processed in one batch. This is very important. If the dataset was processed in multiple batches, each batch might be padded to a different size (the number of tokens in the longest tweet of that batch)

Task 6: Redo numpy exercises in torch

The following is a subset of the exercises you did in the second lecture using numpy. Repeat them using torch.tensors instead of np.arrays. This is mainly to show how similar numpy and pytorch is.

Create the following tensors:

1. A three-dimensional tensor of shape (3, 3, 4) containing zeros

2. A two-dimensional tensor with 4 rows and 3 columns that contain that is equivalent to the list [[0.1, 0.2, 0.3], [0.4, 0.5, 0.6], [0.7, 0.8, 0.9], [1.0,1.1,1.2]]. Do not just type in the numbers.

3. Select the bottom left 2 x 2 array from the array you just created

Now do the following calculations with tensors

1. Do a matrix multiplication of the two tensors x and y

2. Do an elementwise multiplication of the tensors x and y

3. Do an elementwise addition x and z

4. Do an elementwise addition of x and z.reshape(-1, 1)

5. Sum the two rows in x

x = torch.tensor([[0.5, 1.5], [2.5, 3.5]])
y = torch.diag(torch.tensor([2.0, 3.0]))
z = torch.tensor([2.0, 3.0])

Task 7: Differences between torch and numpy

The following exercises show a few differences between torch and numpy.

1. Do a matrix multiplication of the tensors u and v

2. Check the device of the tensor u

3. Explicitly set the device to ‘cpu’

u = torch.ones(2, 2)
v = torch.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
