# BERT

## Overview


[BERT](https://huggingface.co/papers/1810.04805) is a bidirectional transformer pretrained on unlabeled text to predict masked tokens in a sentence and to predict whether one sentence follows another. The main idea is that by randomly masking some tokens, the model can train on text to the left and right, giving it a more thorough understanding. BERT is also very versatile because its learned language representations can be adapted for other NLP tasks by fine-tuning an additional layer or head.

You can find all the original BERT checkpoints under the [BERT](https://huggingface.co/collections/google/bert-release-64ff5e7a4be99045d1896dbc) collection.

## Export to Neuron

To deploy 🤗 [Transformers](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/index) models on Neuron devices, you first need to compile the models and export them to a serialized format for inference. Below are two approaches to compile the model, you can choose the one that best suits your needs. Here we take the `feature-extraction` as an example:

### Option 1: CLI

You can export the model using the Optimum command-line interface as follows:

```bash
optimum-cli export neuron --model google-bert/bert-base-uncased --task feature-extraction --batch_size 1 --sequence_length 128 bert_feature_extraction_neuronx/
```

> [!TIP]
> Execute `optimum-cli export neuron --help` to display all command line options and their description.

### Option 2: Python API

```python
from optimum.neuron import NeuronModelForFeatureExtraction

input_shapes = {"batch_size": 1, "sequence_length": 128}
compiler_args = {"auto_cast": "matmul", "auto_cast_type": "bf16"}
neuron_model = NeuronModelForFeatureExtraction.from_pretrained(
    "google-bert/bert-base-uncased",
    export=True,
    **input_shapes,
    **compiler_args,
)
# Save locally
neuron_model.save_pretrained("bert_feature_extraction_neuronx")

# Upload to the HuggingFace Hub
neuron_model.push_to_hub(
    "bert_feature_extraction_neuronx", repository_id="my-neuron-repo"  # Replace with your HF Hub repo id
)
```

- **model** (`torch.jit._script.ScriptModule`) -- [torch.jit._script.ScriptModule](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.jit.ScriptModule.html) is the TorchScript module with embedded NEFF(Neuron Executable File Format) compiled by neuron(x) compiler.</paramsdesc><paramgroups>0</paramgroups></docstring>

Neuron Model with a multiple choice classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the pooled output and a
softmax) e.g. for RocStories/SWAG tasks.

This model inherits from `~neuron.modeling.NeuronTracedModel`. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving)

The `NeuronBertForMultipleChoice` forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method. Accepts only the inputs traced during the compilation step. Any additional inputs provided during inference will be ignored. To include extra inputs, recompile the model with those inputs specified.

Example:

```python
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer
>>> from optimum.neuron import NeuronBertForMultipleChoice

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("optimum/bert-base-cased-swag-neuronx")
>>> model = NeuronBertForMultipleChoice.from_pretrained("optimum/bert-base-cased-swag-neuronx")

>>> num_choices = 4
>>> first_sentence = ["Members of the procession walk down the street holding small horn brass instruments."] * num_choices
>>> second_sentence = [
...     "A drum line passes by walking down the street playing their instruments.",
...     "A drum line has heard approaching them.",
...     "A drum line arrives and they're outside dancing and asleep.",
...     "A drum line turns the lead singer watches the performance."
... ]
>>> inputs = tokenizer(first_sentence, second_sentence, truncation=True, padding=True)

# Unflatten the inputs values expanding it to the shape [batch_size, num_choices, seq_length]
>>> for k, v in inputs.items():
...     inputs[k] = [v[i: i + num_choices] for i in range(0, len(v), num_choices)]
>>> inputs = dict(inputs.convert_to_tensors(tensor_type="pt"))
>>> outputs = model(**inputs)
>>> logits = outputs.logits
>>> logits.shape
