## Example 1: Classification
This task is a sentiment analysis task. The following sections detail model preparation, dataset preparation, and how to run the task.

### Step 1: Prepare Pre-trained Model & Dataset

#### Pre-trained Model

The pre-training model of this mission is: [ernie-zh-base](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PALM/tree/r0.3-api).

Make sure you have downloaded the required pre-training model in the current folder.


#### Dataset

This example demonstrates with [ChnSentiCorp](https://github.com/SophonPlus/ChineseNlpCorpus/tree/master/datasets/ChnSentiCorp_htl_all), a Chinese sentiment analysis dataset.

Download dataset:
```shell
python download.py
```

If everything goes well, there will be a folder named `data/`  created with all the data files in it.

The dataset file (for training) should have 2 fields,  `text_a` and `label`, stored with [tsv](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab-separated_values) format. Here shows an example:

```
label  text_a

### Step 2: Train & Predict

The code used to perform this task is in `run.py`. If you have prepared the pre-training model and the data set required for the task, run:

```shell
python run.py
```

If you want to specify a specific gpu or use multiple gpus for training, please use **`CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES`**, for example:

```shell
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2 python run.py
```


Some logs will be shown below:

```
step 1/154 (epoch 0), loss: 5.512, speed: 0.51 steps/s
step 2/154 (epoch 0), loss: 2.595, speed: 3.36 steps/s
step 3/154 (epoch 0), loss: 1.798, speed: 3.48 steps/s
```


After the run, you can view the saved models in the `outputs/` folder and the predictions in the `outputs/predict` folder. Here are some examples of predictions:


```
{"index": 0, "logits": [-0.2014336884021759, 0.6799028515815735], "probs": [0.29290086030960083, 0.7070990800857544], "label": 1}
{"index": 1, "logits": [0.8593899011611938, -0.29743513464927673], "probs": [0.7607553601264954, 0.23924466967582703], "label": 0}
{"index": 2, "logits": [0.7462944388389587, -0.7083730101585388], "probs": [0.8107157349586487, 0.18928426504135132], "label": 0}
```

### Step 3: Evaluate

Once you have the prediction, you can run the evaluation script to evaluate the model:

```shell
python evaluate.py
```

The evaluation results are as follows:

```
data num: 1200
precision: 0.956666666667, recall: 0.949013157895, f1: 0.95688225039
```
