adapter-transformers is an extension of HuggingFace's Transformers library, integrating adapters into state-of-the-art language models by incorporating AdapterHub , a central repository for pre-trained adapter modules.
💡 Important: This library can be used as a drop-in replacement for HuggingFace Transformers and regularly synchronizes new upstream changes. Thus, most files in this repository are direct copies from the HuggingFace Transformers source, modified only with changes required for the adapter implementations.
adapter-transformers currently supports Python 3.6+ and PyTorch 1.3.1+.
After installing PyTorch, you can install adapter-transformers from PyPI ...
pip install -U adapter-transformers
... or from source by cloning the repository:
git clone https://github.com/adapter-hub/adapter-transformers.git
cd adapter-transformers
pip install .
HuggingFace's great documentation on getting started with Transformers can be found here. adapter-transformers is fully compatible with Transformers.
To get started with adapters, refer to these locations:
- Colab notebook tutorials , a series notebooks providing an introduction to all the main concepts of (adapter-)transformers and AdapterHub
- https://docs.adapterhub.ml , our documentation on training and using adapters with adapter-transformers
- https://adapterhub.ml to explore available pre-trained adapter modules and share your own adapters
- Examples folder of this repository containing HuggingFace's example training scripts, many adapted for training adapters
