About

What vlt5-keywords is

Our vlT5 model is a keyword generation model based on encoder-decoder architecture using Transformer blocks presented by Google (https://huggingface.co/t5-base). The vlT5 was trained on scientific articles corpus to predict a given set of keyphrases based on the concatenation of the article’s abstract and title. It generates precise, yet not always complete keyphrases that describe the content of the article based only on the abstract.

vlT5

The biggest advantage is the transferability of the vlT5 model, as it works well on all domains and types of text. The downside is that the text length and the number of keywords are similar to the training data: the text piece of an abstract length generates approximately 3 to 5 keywords. It works both extractive and abstractively. Longer pieces of text must be split into smaller chunks, and then propagated to the model.

Overview

Corpus

The model was trained on a POSMAC corpus. Polish Open Science Metadata Corpus (POSMAC) is a collection of 216,214 abstracts of scientific publications compiled in the CURLICAT project.

Tokenizer

As in the original plT5 implementation, the training dataset was tokenized into subwords using a sentencepiece unigram model with vocabulary size of 50k tokens.

Usage

from transformers import T5Tokenizer, T5ForConditionalGeneration

model = T5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("Voicelab/vlt5-base-keywords")
tokenizer = T5Tokenizer.from_pretrained("Voicelab/vlt5-base-keywords")

task_prefix = "Keywords: "
inputs = [
    "Christina Katrakis, who spoke to the BBC from Vorokhta in western Ukraine, relays the account of one family, who say Russian soldiers shot at their vehicles while they were leaving their village near Chernobyl in northern Ukraine. She says the cars had white flags and signs saying they were carrying children.",
    "Decays the learning rate of each parameter group by gamma every step_size epochs. Notice that such decay can happen simultaneously with other changes to the learning rate from outside this scheduler. When last_epoch=-1, sets initial lr as lr.",
    "Hello, I'd like to order a pizza with salami topping.",
]

for sample in inputs:
    input_sequences = [task_prefix + sample]
    input_ids = tokenizer(
        input_sequences, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True
    ).input_ids
    output = model.generate(input_ids, no_repeat_ngram_size=3, num_beams=4)
    predicted = tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
    print(sample, "\n --->", predicted)

Inference

Our results showed that the best generation results were achieved with no_repeat_ngram_size=3, num_beams=4

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys vlt5-keywords for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (vlt5-keywords below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"vlt5-keywords","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
