Pre-trained Language Model for the Humanities and Social Sciences in Chinese

Introduction

The research for social science texts in Chinese needs the support natural language processing tools.

The pre-trained language model has greatly improved the accuracy of text mining in general texts. At present, there is an urgent need for a pre-trained language model specifically for the automatic processing of scientific texts in Chinese social science.

We used the abstract of social science research as the training set. Based on the deep language model framework of BERT, we constructed CSSCI_ABS_BERT, CSSCI_ABS_roberta and CSSCI_ABS_roberta-wwm pre-training language models by transformers/run_mlm.py and transformers/mlm_wwm.

We designed four downstream tasks of Text Classification on different Chinese social scientific article corpus to verify the performance of the model.

CSSCI_ABS_BERT , CSSCI_ABS_roberta and CSSCI_ABS_roberta-wwm are trained on the abstract of articles published in CSSCI journals. The training set involved in the experiment included a total of 510,956,094 words.
Based on the idea of Domain-Adaptive Pretraining, CSSCI_ABS_BERT and CSSCI_ABS_roberta combine a large amount of abstracts of scientific articles in Chinese based on the BERT structure, and continue to train the BERT and Chinese-RoBERTa models respectively to obtain pre-training models for the automatic processing of Chinese Social science research texts.

How to use

Huggingface Transformers

The from_pretrained method based on Huggingface Transformers can directly obtain CSSCI_ABS_BERT, CSSCI_ABS_roberta and CSSCI_ABS_roberta-wwm models online.

CSSCI_ABS_BERT

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("KM4STfulltext/CSSCI_ABS_BERT")

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("KM4STfulltext/CSSCI_ABS_BERT")

CSSCI_ABS_roberta

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("KM4STfulltext/CSSCI_ABS_roberta")

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("KM4STfulltext/CSSCI_ABS_roberta")

CSSCI_ABS_roberta-wwm

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("KM4STfulltext/CSSCI_ABS_roberta_wwm")

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("KM4STfulltext/CSSCI_ABS_roberta_wwm")
