Token classification on custom BERT and data
I am trying to follow the instructions fromherebut using my own fine-tuned BERT model. I had to make a few adaptations but I think I got the data in the same format as the example. However, when I try to run the Trainer, I get the following error:RuntimeError: The size of tensor a (8160) must match the size of tensor b (16) at non-singleton dimension 0I had defined themax_length=510on the call to tokenizer function, to match what I used to train the language model. I also manually pad the labels to match this length.The code I’m using is the following:def main():
    train_texts, train_tags = read_data('./data/ner_train.pkl')
    val_texts, val_tags = read_data('./data/ner_test.pkl')

    unique_tags = set(tag for doc in train_tags for tag in doc)
    tag2id = {tag: id for id, tag in enumerate(unique_tags)}
    id2tag = {id: tag for tag, id in tag2id.items()}

    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("C:\\Users\\Rogerio\\Documents\\bert-beaver-language")

    train_encodings = tokenizer(train_texts, is_split_into_words=True, return_offsets_mapping=True, padding=True,
                                truncation=True, max_length=510)
    val_encodings = tokenizer(val_texts, is_split_into_words=True, return_offsets_mapping=True, padding=True,
                              truncation=True, max_length=510)

    labels = [[tag2id[tag] for tag in doc] for doc in train_tags]
    train_labels = []
    for doc_labels, doc_offset in zip(labels, train_encodings.offset_mapping):
        # pad labels if necessary
        if len(doc_labels) < len(doc_offset):
            doc_labels += [-100] * (len(doc_offset) - len(doc_labels))

        for label, offset in zip(doc_labels, doc_offset):
            if offset[0] != 0 or offset == (0, 0):
                label = -100
            train_labels.append(label)

    labels = [[tag2id[tag] for tag in doc] for doc in val_tags]
    val_labels = []
    for doc_labels, doc_offset in zip(labels, val_encodings.offset_mapping):
        # pad labels if necessary
        if len(doc_labels) < len(doc_offset):
            doc_labels += [-100] * (len(doc_offset) - len(doc_labels))

        for label, offset in zip(doc_labels, doc_offset):
            if offset[0] != 0 or offset == (0, 0):
                label = -100
            val_labels.append(label)

    train_encodings.pop("offset_mapping")  # we don't want to pass this to the model
    val_encodings.pop("offset_mapping")
    train_dataset = NERDataset(train_encodings, train_labels)
    val_dataset = NERDataset(val_encodings, val_labels)

RuntimeError: The size of tensor a (8160) must match the size of tensor b (16) at non-singleton dimension 0Any ideas?

This error seems to mean your outputs and labels have mismatched shapes. I would double-check the shapes by grabbing a batch in your training dataloader and looking at the inputs and labels.

I’m sorry I haven’t replied to this yet. I got sidetracked with other problems. I’ll will investigate this in the next few days. One thing I noticed, though, is that dividing 8160 (tensor a) by 16 (tensor b) I get exactly 510, which is the max_length I set on the tokenizer. So I assume I must be passing the entire batch as one tensor.
