Day 16: T5(Encoder Decoder Model)
for Writing Product Reviews
In this post, we fine-tune a T5 (encoder-decoder)
model to generate product reviews based on a
product's title and star rating. Using a subset of the
Amazon electronics review dataset, we preprocess and
tokenize the data, train the model for text-to-text
generation, and test it by generating realistic product
reviews. The lesson demonstrates how T5's generative
capabilities can be leveraged for practical applications
and provides insights into fine-tuning and inference
techniques.
We've provided a Python script for fine-tuning a T5
model to generate product reviews based on a product
title and star rating. Here's a breakdown of what the
code does:
Code Explanation
1. Data Preprocessing (preprocess_data):
Formats the data into an input-output text structure
suitable for T5.
Example input: "review: Wireless Headphones 5 stars"
Example output: "Great sound quality. I love these
headphones!"
2. Loading and Preparing Data (load_and_prepare_data):
Loads the Amazon product review dataset.
Filters relevant data (long enough reviews and valid
star ratings).
Splits the data into training and testing sets.
3. Model Fine-Tuning (fine_tune_t5):
Loads a pre-trained T5 model and tokenizer.
Tokenizes input and target text.
Sets up training arguments like batch size, learning rate,
and epochs.
Uses Hugging Face’s Trainer to train the model.
4. Generating Reviews (generate_review):
Loads the fine-tuned model.
Generates a review based on a product title and star
rating.
Implements parameters like beam search and repetition
control for better output quality.
5. Execution Flow:
The script fine-tunes the model and generates example
reviews for various product titles with different star
ratings.
