Code for WECHSEL: Effective initialization of subword embeddings for cross-lingual transfer of monolingual language models.

arXiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.06598

Models from the paper are available on the HuggingFace Hub:

Installation

We distribute a Python Package via PyPI:

pip install wechsel

Alternatively, clone the repository, install requirements.txt and run the code in wechsel/.

Example usage

Transferring English roberta-base to Swahili:

import torch
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
from datasets import load_dataset
from wechsel import WECHSEL, load_embeddings

source_tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("roberta-base")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("roberta-base")

target_tokenizer = source_tokenizer.train_new_from_iterator(
    load_dataset("oscar", "unshuffled_deduplicated_sw", split="train")["text"],
    vocab_size=len(source_tokenizer)
)

wechsel = WECHSEL(
    load_embeddings("en"),
    load_embeddings("sw"),
    bilingual_dictionary="swahili"
)

target_embeddings, info = wechsel.apply(
    source_tokenizer,
    target_tokenizer,
    model.get_input_embeddings().weight.detach().numpy(),
)

model.get_input_embeddings().weight.data = torch.from_numpy(target_embeddings)

# use `model` and `target_tokenizer` to continue training in Swahili!

Bilingual dictionaries

We distribute 3276 bilingual dictionaries from English to other languages for use with WECHSEL in dicts/.
