Text utilities and datasets for PyTorch

Project description

https://circleci.com/gh/pytorch/text.svg?style=svg https://codecov.io/gh/pytorch/text/branch/master/graph/badge.svg https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/json.svg?label=docs&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpypi.org%2Fpypi%2Ftorchtext%2Fjson&query=%24.info.version&colorB=brightgreen&prefix=v

torchtext

This repository consists of:

  • torchtext.data: Generic data loaders, abstractions, and iterators for text (including vocabulary and word vectors)

  • torchtext.datasets: Pre-built loaders for common NLP datasets

Note: we are currently re-designing the torchtext library to make it more compatible with pytorch (e.g. torch.utils.data). Several datasets have been written with the new abstractions in torchtext.experimental folder. We also created an issue to discuss the new abstraction, and users are welcome to leave feedback link. These prototype building blocks and datasets in the experimental folder are available in the nightly release only. The nightly packages are accessible via Pip and Conda for Windows, Mac, and Linux. For example, Linux users can install the nightly wheels with the following command:

pip install --pre torch torchtext -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cpu/torch_nightly.html

For more detail instructions, please refer to Install PyTorch. It should be noted that the new building blocks are still under development, and the APIs have not been solidified.

Installation

We recommend Anaconda as Python package management system. Please refer to pytorch.org for the detail of PyTorch installation. The following is the corresponding torchtext versions and supported Python versions.

Using conda:

conda install -c pytorch torchtext

Using pip:

pip install torchtext

Optional requirements

If you want to use English tokenizer from SpaCy, you need to install SpaCy and download its English model:

pip install spacy
python -m spacy download en

Alternatively, you might want to use the Moses tokenizer port in SacreMoses (split from NLTK). You have to install SacreMoses:

pip install sacremoses

For torchtext 0.5 and below, sentencepiece:

conda install -c powerai sentencepiece

Building from source

To build torchtext from source, you need git, CMake and C++11 compiler such as g++.:

git clone https://github.com/pytorch/text torchtext
cd torchtext
git submodule update --init --recursive

# Linux
python setup.py clean install

# OSX
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9 CC=clang CXX=clang++ python setup.py clean install

# or ``python setup.py develop`` if you are making modifications.

Note

When building from source, make sure that you have the same C++ compiler as the one used to build PyTorch. A simple way is to build PyTorch from source and use the same environment to build torchtext. If you are using nightly build of PyTorch, checkout the environment it was built here (conda) and here (pip).

Data

The data module provides the following:

  • Ability to describe declaratively how to load a custom NLP dataset that’s in a “normal” format:

    >>> pos = data.TabularDataset(
    ...    path='data/pos/pos_wsj_train.tsv', format='tsv',
    ...    fields=[('text', data.Field()),
    ...            ('labels', data.Field())])
    ...
    >>> sentiment = data.TabularDataset(
    ...    path='data/sentiment/train.json', format='json',
    ...    fields={'sentence_tokenized': ('text', data.Field(sequential=True)),
    ...            'sentiment_gold': ('labels', data.Field(sequential=False))})
  • Ability to define a preprocessing pipeline:

    >>> src = data.Field(tokenize=my_custom_tokenizer)
    >>> trg = data.Field(tokenize=my_custom_tokenizer)
    >>> mt_train = datasets.TranslationDataset(
    ...     path='data/mt/wmt16-ende.train', exts=('.en', '.de'),
    ...     fields=(src, trg))
  • Batching, padding, and numericalizing (including building a vocabulary object):

    >>> # continuing from above
    >>> mt_dev = datasets.TranslationDataset(
    ...     path='data/mt/newstest2014', exts=('.en', '.de'),
    ...     fields=(src, trg))
    >>> src.build_vocab(mt_train, max_size=80000)
    >>> trg.build_vocab(mt_train, max_size=40000)
    >>> # mt_dev shares the fields, so it shares their vocab objects
    >>>
    >>> train_iter = data.BucketIterator(
    ...     dataset=mt_train, batch_size=32,
    ...     sort_key=lambda x: data.interleave_keys(len(x.src), len(x.trg)))
    >>> # usage
    >>> next(iter(train_iter))
    <data.Batch(batch_size=32, src=[LongTensor (32, 25)], trg=[LongTensor (32, 28)])>
  • Wrapper for dataset splits (train, validation, test):

    >>> TEXT = data.Field()
    >>> LABELS = data.Field()
    >>>
    >>> train, val, test = data.TabularDataset.splits(
    ...     path='/data/pos_wsj/pos_wsj', train='_train.tsv',
    ...     validation='_dev.tsv', test='_test.tsv', format='tsv',
    ...     fields=[('text', TEXT), ('labels', LABELS)])
    >>>
    >>> train_iter, val_iter, test_iter = data.BucketIterator.splits(
    ...     (train, val, test), batch_sizes=(16, 256, 256),
    >>>     sort_key=lambda x: len(x.text), device=0)
    >>>
    >>> TEXT.build_vocab(train)
    >>> LABELS.build_vocab(train)

Datasets

The datasets module currently contains:

  • Sentiment analysis: SST and IMDb

Experimental Code

We have re-written several datasets under torchtext.experimental.datasets:

  • Sentiment analysis: IMDb

  • Language modeling: abstract class + WikiText-2, WikiText103, PennTreebank

A new pattern is introduced in Release v0.5.0. Several other datasets are also in the new pattern:

  • Unsupervised learning dataset: Enwik9

  • Text classification: AG_NEWS, SogouNews, DBpedia, YelpReviewPolarity, YelpReviewFull, YahooAnswers, AmazonReviewPolarity, AmazonReviewFull

Disclaimer on Datasets

This is a utility library that downloads and prepares public datasets. We do not host or distribute these datasets, vouch for their quality or fairness, or claim that you have license to use the dataset. It is your responsibility to determine whether you have permission to use the dataset under the dataset’s license.

If you’re a dataset owner and wish to update any part of it (description, citation, etc.), or do not want your dataset to be included in this library, please get in touch through a GitHub issue. Thanks for your contribution to the ML community!
