minicons: Enabling Flexible Behavioral and Representational Analyses of Transformer Language Models
This repo is a wrapper around the transformers library from hugging face
Installation
Install from Pypi using:
pip install minicons
Supported Functionality
- Extract word representations from Contextualized Word Embeddings
- Score sequences using language model scoring techniques, including masked language models following Salazar et al. (2020).
Examples
- Extract word representations from contextualized word embeddings:
from minicons import cwe
model = cwe.CWE('bert-base-uncased')
context_words = [("I went to the bank to withdraw money.", "bank"),
("i was at the bank of the river ganga!", "bank")]
print(model.extract_representation(context_words, layer = 12))

tensor([[ 0.5399, -0.2461, -0.0968, ..., -0.4670, -0.5312, -0.0549],
[-0.8258, -0.4308, 0.2744, ..., -0.5987, -0.6984, 0.2087]],
grad_fn=<MeanBackward1>)
'''- Compute sentence acceptability measures (surprisals) using Word Prediction Models:
from minicons import scorer
mlm_model = scorer.MaskedLMScorer('bert-base-uncased', 'cpu')
ilm_model = scorer.IncrementalLMScorer('distilgpt2', 'cpu')
stimuli = ["The keys to the cabinet are on the table.",
"The keys to the cabinet is on the table."]
# use sequence_score with different reduction options:
# Sequence Surprisal - lambda x: -x.sum(1)
# Sequence Log-probability - lambda x: x.sum(1)
# Sequence Surprisal, normalized by number of tokens - lambda x: -x.mean(1)
# Sequence Log-probability, normalized by number of tokens - lambda x: x.mean(1)
# and so on...
print(ilm_model.sequence_score(stimuli, reduction = lambda x: -x.sum(0).item()))

- Introduction to using LM-scoring methods using minicons
- Computing sentence and token surprisals using minicons
- Extracting word/phrase representations using minicons
Recent Updates
- November 6, 2021: MLM scoring has been fixed! You can now use
model.token_score()andmodel.sequence_score()withMaskedLMScorersas well!
