K-BERT

Sorce code and datasets for "K-BERT: Enabling Language Representation with Knowledge Graph", which is implemented based on the UER framework.

News

• EasyNLP integrated the K-BERT. For details, see EasyNLP集成K-BERT算法，借助知识图谱实现更优Finetune.

Requirements

Software:

Python3
Pytorch >= 1.0
argparse == 1.1

Prepare

• Download the google_model.bin from here, and save it to the models/ directory.
• Download the CnDbpedia.spo from here, and save it to the brain/kgs/ directory.
• Optional - Download the datasets for evaluation from here, unzip and place them in the datasets/ directory.

K-BERT for text classification

Classification example

Run example on Book review with CnDbpedia:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES='0' nohup python3 -u run_kbert_cls.py \
    --pretrained_model_path ./models/google_model.bin \
    --config_path ./models/google_config.json \
    --vocab_path ./models/google_vocab.txt \
    --train_path ./datasets/book_review/train.tsv \
    --dev_path ./datasets/book_review/dev.tsv \
    --test_path ./datasets/book_review/test.tsv \
    --epochs_num 5 --batch_size 32 --kg_name CnDbpedia \
    --output_model_path ./outputs/kbert_bookreview_CnDbpedia.bin \
    > ./outputs/kbert_bookreview_CnDbpedia.log &

Results:

Best accuracy in dev : 88.80%
Best accuracy in test: 87.69%

Options of run_kbert_cls.py:

useage: [--pretrained_model_path] - Path to the pre-trained model parameters.
        [--config_path] - Path to the model configuration file.
        [--vocab_path] - Path to the vocabulary file.
        --train_path - Path to the training dataset.
        --dev_path - Path to the validating dataset.
        --test_path - Path to the testing dataset.
        [--epochs_num] - The number of training epoches.
        [--batch_size] - Batch size of the training process.
        [--kg_name] - The name of knowledge graph, "HowNet", "CnDbpedia" or "Medical".
        [--output_model_path] - Path to the output model.
