# PaddleNLP Transformer API
随着深度学习的发展,NLP领域涌现了一大批高质量的Transformer类预训练模型,多次刷新各种NLP任务SOTA。PaddleNLP为用户提供了常用的BERT、ERNIE、RoBERTa等经典结构预训练模型,让开发者能够方便快捷应用各类Transformer预训练模型及其下游任务。
## Transformer 预训练模型汇总
下表汇总了目前PaddleNLP支持的各类预训练模型。用户可以使用PaddleNLP提供的模型,完成问答、序列分类、token分类等任务。同时我们提供了22种预训练的参数权重供用户使用,其中包含了11种中文语言模型的预训练权重。

## 预训练模型使用方法
PaddleNLP Transformer API在提丰富预训练模型的同时,也降低了用户的使用门槛。只需十几行代码,用户即可完成模型加载和下游任务Fine-tuning。
```python
import paddle
from paddlenlp.datasets import ChnSentiCorp
from paddlenlp.transformers import BertForSequenceClassification, BertTokenizer
train_ds, dev_ds, test_ds = ChnSentiCorp.get_datasets(['train', 'dev', 'test'])
model = BertForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("bert-wwm-chinese", num_classes=len(train_ds.get_labels()))
tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("bert-wwm-chinese")
# Define the dataloader from dataset and tokenizer here
optimizer = paddle.optimizer.AdamW(learning_rate=0.001, parameters=model.parameters())
criterion = paddle.nn.loss.CrossEntropyLoss()
for input_ids, segment_ids, labels in train_dataloader:
logits = model(input_ids, segment_ids)
loss = criterion(logits, labels)
probs = paddle.nn.functional.softmax(logits, axis=1)
loss.backward()
optimizer.step()
optimizer.clear_grad()
```
上面的代码给出使用预训练模型的简要示例,更完整详细的示例代码,可以参考[使用预训练模型Fine-tune完成中文文本分类任务](../examples/text_classification/pretrained_models)。
1. 加载数据集:PaddleNLP内置了多种数据集,用户可以一键导入所需的数据集。
2. 加载预训练模型:PaddleNLP的预训练模型可以很容易地通过`from_pretrained()`方法加载。第一个参数是汇总表中对应的 `Pretrained Weight`,可加载对应的预训练权重。`BertForSequenceClassification`初始化`__init__`所需的其他参数,如`num_classes`等,也是通过`from_pretrained()`传入。`Tokenizer`使用同样的`from_pretrained`方法加载。
3. 使用tokenier将dataset处理成模型的输入。此部分可以参考前述的详细示例代码。
4. 定义训练所需的优化器,loss函数等,就可以开始进行模型fine-tune任务。
