+# GPT2
+
+## 模型介绍
+[GPT2](https://cdn.openai.com/better-language-models/language_models_are_unsupervised_multitask_learners.pdf)(Language Models are Unsupervised Multitask Learners) 以[Transformer](https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762) 解码器为网络基本组件，使用自回归的方式在大规模无标注文本语料上进行预训练（pre-train），得到的语言生成模型。
+
+本项目是语言模型 GPT2 的 PaddlePaddle 实现， 包含模型训练，预测等内容。下是本例的简要目录结构及说明：
+
+```text

+
+## 快速开始
+
+### 安装说明
+
+1. paddle安装
+
+    本项目依赖于 PaddlePaddle 2.0rc1及以上版本或适当的develop版本，请参考 [安装指南](https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/install/quick) 进行安装
+
+2. 下载代码
+
+    克隆代码库到本地
+
+3. 环境依赖
+
+    该模型使用PaddlePaddle，关于环境依赖部分，请先参考PaddlePaddle[安装说明](https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/documentation/docs/zh/install/index_cn.html)关于环境依赖部分的内容。
+
+
+### 数据准备
+
+#### 原始数据获取
+
+[OpenWebTextCorpus](https://skylion007.github.io/OpenWebTextCorpus/)是一个开源的英文网页文本数据集，数据来源于Reddit，经过去重、清洗、提取，最终包含800多万个文档。
+
+下载以后通过以下命令解压：
+
+```shell
+xz -d openwebtext.tar.xz
+tar xf openwebtext.tar
+mkdir raw_data
+bash decompress.sh  
+```
+
+解压以后得到的raw_data目录大小约为54GB。
+
+#### 数据预处理
+
+为了提升训练速度，我们在训练前将文本数据转成相应的id，并保存为npz格式：
+
+```shell
+python process_data.py --input_path raw_data \
+ --model_name gpt2-medium-en \
+ --append_eod \
+ --workers 8
+```
+
+运行命令后，产出`raw_data_ids.npz`文件。为了方便用户运行测试本模型，本项目提供了处理好的300M的训练样本：
+
+```shell
+wget https://paddlenlp.bj.bcebos.com/models/transformers/gpt2/train.data.json_ids.npz
+```
+
+将所有预处理得到的npz文件统一放入一个文件夹中，以备训练使用：
+
+```
+mkdir data
+mv train.data.json_ids.npz data
+```
+
+
+#### 单卡训练
+
+```shell
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python run_pretrain.py --model_name_or_path gpt2-small-en \
+    --input_dir "./data"\
+    --output_dir "output"\
+    --weight_decay 0.01\
+    --grad_clip 1.0\
+    --max_steps 500000\
+    --save_steps 100000\
+    --warmup_rate 0.01\
+    --batch_size 8\
+    --device gpu
+```
+
+其中参数释义如下：
+- `model_name_or_path` 要训练的模型或者之前训练的checkpoint。
+- `input_dir` 指定输入文件，可以使用目录，指定目录时将包括目录中的所有文件。
+- `output_dir` 指定输出文件。
+- `weight_decay` 权重衰减参数。
+- `grad_clip` 梯度裁剪范围。
+- `max_steps` 最大训练步数
+- `save_steps` 保存模型间隔
+- `batch_size` 训练的batch大小
+- `device` 训练设备
+
+用户也可以使用提供的shell脚本直接训练`sh scripts/run.sh`.
+
+### 单机多卡
+
+同样，可以执行如下命令实现八卡训练：
+
+```shell
+unset CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES
+python -m paddle.distributed.launch --gpus "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7" run_pretrain.py --model_name_or_path gpt2-small-en \
+    --input_dir "./data"\
+    --output_dir "output"\
+    --weight_decay 0.01\
+    --grad_clip 1.0\
+    --max_steps 500000\
+    --save_steps 100000\
+    --warmup_rate 0.01\
+    --batch_size 8\
+    --device gpu
+
+```
+
+用户也可以使用提供的shell脚本直接训练`sh scripts/run_multi.sh`.
+
+#### 文本生成
+
+本项目提供了简单的文本生成的demo，供用户测试文本生成效果。
+
+```shell
+python generate_sample.py
+```
+
+生成效果展示:
+```text
+问题：中国的首都是哪里？答案：北京。
+问题：百度的厂长是谁? 答案：
+
+李彦宏。
+
+默写古诗: 大漠孤烟直，长河落日圆。
+举杯邀明月，
+
+对影成三人。
+```
