What is BERT? How does one use BERT to solve problems? Google Colab, Tensorflow, Kubernetes on Google Cloud Overview This for people who want to create a REST service using a model built with , the best NLP base model available. I spent a lot of time figuring out how to put a solution together so I figured I would write up how to deploy a solution and share! BERT Why should you read this? Today we have machine learning engineers, software engineers, and data scientists. The trend in deep learning is that models are getting so powerful that there is little need to know about the details of the specific algorithm and can be immediately applied to custom use cases. This trend will turn the job of machine learning engineers into a skill that software engineers have. There will still be data scientists because there will be the need to apply traditional machine learning methods and incorporate domain knowledge on “small” data to solve problems and get the desired performance. What is ? BERT BERT, or Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers, is a new method of pre-training language representations which obtains state-of-the-art results on a wide array of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. — Github Project Page Why is important? BERT #1 When performed state-of-the-art on 11 NLP tasks. released On , BERT achieves 93.2% F1 score (a measure of accuracy), surpassing the previous state-of-the-art score of 91.6% and human-level score of 91.2% SQuAD v1.1 BERT also improves the state-of-the-art by 7.6% absolute on the very challenging , a set of 9 diverse Natural Language Understanding (NLU) tasks. GLUE benchmark #2 The main driver for performance Visual Common Sense Deep text-only models perform much better: most notably, BERT [17] obtains 35.0% accuracy. […] Our model, R2C obtains an additional boost over BERT by 9% accuracy, reaching a final performance of 44%. […] The model suffers most when using GloVe representations instead of BERT: a loss of 24%. The empirical evidence demonstrated by using BERT on different tasks across different domains gives good reason to try BERT. Let’s use BERT to solve a classification problem! Find a problem to solve started . Sebastian Ruder a project to track the progress in Natural Language Processing tasks This walkthrough is going to tackle a text classification problem. For simplicity, we are going to choose the since the dataset is a reasonable size and closely aligns with a traditional classification problem. AG News Dataset Refer to this article to get the AG News Dataset ready for training. Part 1: Fine-tune BERT using AG News Dataset The result of following this entire tutorial is . The Google Colab notebook to process the dataset, train, and export the model can be found . The following will go over recreating needed resources for the REST service at a high level. here here , clone the so that we extend the project to meet our needs. First BERT repo , is the file to extend for sentence classification. To add a new data source add a class that extends DataProcessor. The DataProcessor class specifies the methods to implement and you can refer to the other classes that extend DataProcessor to figure out reasonable implementations. Second run_classifier.py class AgnewsProcessor(DataProcessor):"""Processor for the MultiNLI data set (GLUE version).""" def get_train_examples(self, data_dir):"""See base class."""return self._create_examples(self._read_tsv(os.path.join(data_dir, "train.tsv")), "train") def get_dev_examples(self, data_dir):"""See base class."""return self._create_examples(self._read_tsv(os.path.join(data_dir, "dev.tsv")),"dev_matched") def get_test_examples(self, data_dir):"""See base class."""return self._create_examples(self._read_tsv(os.path.join(data_dir, "test.tsv")), "test") def get_labels(self):"""See base class."""return ["World","Entertainment","Sports","Business",] def _create_examples(self, lines, set_type):"""Creates examples for the training and dev sets."""examples = []for (i, line) in enumerate(lines):if i == 0:  # for headercontinuesingle_example = self._create_example(line, set_type)examples.append(single_example)return examples def _create_example(self, line, set_type):guid = "%s-%s" % (set_type, tokenization.convert_to_unicode(line[0]))text_a = tokenization.convert_to_unicode(line[1])if set_type == "test":label = "World"else:label = tokenization.convert_to_unicode(line[-1])single_example = InputExample(guid=guid, text_a=text_a, label=label)return single_example , copy this to train, evaluate and export the model. For training, this tutorial will use Google Colab notebooks. To use the notebook as designed, create a Google Storage Bucket to store the base model and trained model. Third notebook Why use Google Colab notebooks? They are a free compute resource and easy to share. The initial evaluation results are not very promising. For a deeper analysis look here . ***** Eval results *****eval_accuracy = 0.25eval_loss = 7.6698585global_step = 12000loss = 7.3534603 At the end of Part 1, you should have exported a fine-tuned BERT model trained on data of your choosing. This tutorial saves the model into Google Cloud Storage. Part 2: Write Tenorflow Serving Client Now that we have a saved model. We need to create some code to call the Tensorflow model and get predictions. The code needs to run on a server and the easiest lightweight code to use is . Flask , parse and process the input with FullTokenizer using a call to which outputs an which the BERT model expects. First _create_example InputExample inputExample = processor._create_example([request_id, content['description']], 'test') transform to using Second, InputExample tf.train.Example from_record_to_tf_example tf_example = classifiers.from_record_to_tf_example(3, inputExample, label_list, 64, tokenizer) now send the formatted input to the Tensorflow Serving container. Third, ### create predict request objectmodel_request = predict_pb2.PredictRequest() ### specify name of modelmodel_request.model_spec.name = 'bert' ### specify name of function to callmodel_request.model_spec.signature_name = 'serving_default' ### specify dimetion of requestdims = [tensor_shape_pb2.TensorShapeProto.Dim(size=1)]tensor_shape_proto = tensor_shape_pb2.TensorShapeProto(dim=dims) ### create model input objecttensor_proto = tensor_pb2.TensorProto(dtype=types_pb2.DT_STRING,tensor_shape=tensor_shape_proto,string_val=[model_input]) ### actually send request to model and wait for outputmodel_request.inputs['examples'].CopyFrom(tensor_proto)result = stub.Predict(model_request, 10.0)  # 10 secs timeoutresult = tf.make_ndarray(result.outputs["probabilities"])pretty_result = "Predicted Label: " + label_list[result[0].argmax(axis=0)]app.logger.info("Predicted Label: %s", label_list[result[0].argmax(axis=0)]) Part 3: Build Docker Containers for Tensorflow-Serving and Tenorflow-Serving Client Using the flask app and Tensorflow model, we can create docker containers and deploy them using Kubernetes. (k8s) is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. — Project Page Kubernetes If you don’t know anything about Kubernetes I suggest you go over this set of . tutorials One of the real benefits of using Kubernetes is the abstraction of networking. You can have different pieces of an application deployed in different pods on different nodes and talk to each other internally seamlessly while exposing a single point of entry called a ‘service’.

We used BERT as the base model to solve an NLP classification task. This solution pattern creates a proof of concept ecosystem to test if Kubernetes is a viable solution to provide Tensorflow models in production in the cloud. There could be barriers to using Kubernetes / Tensorflow Serving such as networking or performance constraints. If Kubernetes is viable there is still a number of steps to get this solution Production-Ready: AutoScaling (to handle different workloads) Logging CNAMES (unless you are ok with referring to possibly changing IPs) Alerts (to notify if service goes down) Automatic builds and deployments (CI/CD) Different Environments for testing Kubernetes is an excellent solution for serving stateless applications at scale. Tensorflow Serving is a robust platform for serving Tensorflow models. Tensorflow Serving provides model versioning functionality and model status endpoints that fit nicely with heartbeats and ready to be used for alerts. __________ Additional Resources: _The year 2018 has been an inflection point for machine learning models handling text (or more accurately, Natural…_jalammar.github.io The Illustrated BERT, ELMo, and co.

Enterprise™ AF Solution for Text Classification (using BERT)

In this post, I’ll show how to containerize an existing project using Docker. I’ve picked a random project from GitHub that had an saying Dockerize to contribute and use as an example here. open issue Why in the world do you want to Dockerize an existing Django web application? There are plenty of reasons, but if you don’t have one just do it for fun! I decided to use docker because one of my applications was getting hard to install. Lots of system requirements, multiple databases, celery, and rabbitmq. So every time a new developer joined the team or had to work from a new computer, the system installation took a long time. Difficult installations lead to time losses and time losses lead to laziness and laziness leads to bad habits and it goes on and on… For instance, one can decide to use SQLite instead of Postgres and not see truncate problems on a table until it hits the Test server. If you don’t know what docker is, just picture it as a huge virtualenv that instead of containing just some python packages have Containers for isolating everything from the OS to your app, databases, workers, etc. Getting Things Done Ok, talk is cheap. Show me some code, dude. First of all, Docker. I did it using Ubuntu and Mac OS without any problem, but on Windows Home, I couldn’t have it working. install To tell Docker how to run your application as a container you’ll have to create a Dockerfile FROM python:3.6ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1RUN mkdir /webappsWORKDIR /webapps# Installing OS DependenciesRUN apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get install -y \libsqlite3-devRUN pip install -U pip setuptoolsCOPY requirements.txt /webapps/COPY requirements-opt.txt /webapps/RUN pip install -r /webapps/requirements.txtRUN pip install -r /webapps/requirements-opt.txtADD . /webapps/# Django serviceEXPOSE 8000 So, let’s go line by line: Docker Images FROM python:3.6 Here we’re using an Image from . e.q. One pre-formated container that helps build on top of that. In this case, Python 3.6 is an Ubuntu container that already has Python3.6 installed on it. docker hub Environment Variables You can create all sort of Environment Variables using Env. ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1  # Here we can create all Environment variables for our container For instance, if you use them for storing your Django’s Secret Key, you could put it here: ENV DJANGO_SECRET_KEY abcde0s&&$uyc)hf_3rv@!a95nasd22e-dxt^9k^7!f+$jxkk+$k- And in your code use it like this: import osSECRET_KEY = os.environ['DJANGO_SECRET_KEY'] Run Commands Docker Run Commands are kinda obvious. You’re running a command “inside” your container. I’m quoting because docker creates something as sub-containers, so it doesn’t have to run the same command again in case of rebuilding a container. inside RUN mkdir /webappsWORKDIR /webapps # Installing OS DependenciesRUN apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get install -y \libsqlite3-dev RUN pip install -U pip setuptools COPY requirements.txt /webapps/COPY requirements-opt.txt /webapps/ RUN pip install -r /webapps/requirements.txtRUN pip install -r /webapps/requirements-opt.txt ADD . /webapps/ In this case, We are creating the directory that will hold our files . webapps/ Workdir is also kind of self-evident. It just docker to run the commands in the indicated directory. After that, I am including one OS dependency. When we’re just using requirements.txt usually we are not including any OS requirement for the project and believe me, for large projects you’ll have lots and lots of OS requirements. COPY and ADD Copy and ADD are the same. Both a file from your computer (the Host) into the container (The Guest OS). In my example, I’m just coping requirements to pip install them. But Add can COPY from a URL. copy EXPOSE Expose Instruction is for forwarding a port from Guest to the Host. # Django serviceEXPOSE 8000 Ok, so now what? How can we add more containers and make them work together? What if a need a Postgresql inside a container too? Don’t worry, here we go. Docker-Compose is a tool for running multiple Docker containers. It’s a yml, you just need to create a docker-compose.yml on your project folder. Docker-compose version: '3.3' services: Postgres db:image: postgresenvironment:- POSTGRES_USER=postgres- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres- POSTGRES_DB=postgres web:build: .command: ["./run_web.sh"]volumes:- .:/webappsports:- "8000:8000"links:- dbdepends_on:- db In this case, I’m using an from Docker Hub. Image of Postgres Now, let’s change the settings.py to use Postgres as Database. DATABASES = {'default': {'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2','NAME': 'postgres','USER': 'postgres','PASSWORD': 'postgres','HOST': 'db','PORT': '5432',}} We’re almost, done. Let me talk a little about the docker compose file. VOLUMES Remember ? vagrant Once upon a time, there was Vagrant and it was a form to run a project inside a Virtual Machine but easily configuring it forwarding ports, provisioning requirements and, sharing volumes. Your machine (Host) could share a volume with your Virtual Machine (Guest). In docker, it’s exactly the same. When you’re writing a file on a shared volume this file is being written on your container as well. volumes: .:/webapps In this case, the current directory (.) is being shared as webapps on the container. LINKS links: db You can refer to another container that belongs to your compose using its name. Since we created a container for our Postgres we can link it to our container. You can see that in our settings.py file I’ve used ‘ ’ as host. db web db DEPENDS_ON In order to your application work, your database has to be before web container, otherwise, it will raise an exception. ready for use depends_on: db Command Command is the default command that your container will run right after it is up. For our example, I’ve created a run_web.sh, that will run the migrations, collect the static files and start the development server. #!/usr/bin/env bash cd django-boards/python manage.py migratepython manage.py collectstatic --noinputpython manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 One can argue that run the migrate at this point, automatically, every time the container is up is . You can run it directly on the web machine. You can access your container (just like the good’ol ) : not a good practice I agree. vagrant ssh docker-compose run web bash if you’d like you can run it without accessing the container itself, just change the last argument from the previous command. docker-compose run web python manage.py migrate The same for other commands docker-compose run web python manage.py testdocker-compose run web python manage.py shell Running Docker With our Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml and run_web.sh set in place, just run it all together: docker-compose up You can see this project here . on my GitHub Originally published at Fernando Alves .
