Creating an LLM for testing with tensorflow in Python

Hi,

I want to test a small LLM program and I decided to do it with tensorflow .

My source code is available in https://github.com/victordalet/first_llm


I - Requirements

You need to install tensorflow and numpy

pip install 'numpy<2'
pip install tensorflow
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

II - Create Dataset

You need to make a data string array to countain a small dataset, for example I create :

data = [
    "Salut comment ca va",
    "Je suis en train de coder",
    "Le machine learning est une branche de l'intelligence artificielle",
    "Le deep learning est une branche du machine learning",
]

You can find a dataset on kaggle if you're not inspired.


III - Build model and train it

To do this, I create a small LLM class with the various methods.

class LLM:

    def __init__(self):
        self.model = None
        self.max_sequence_length = None
        self.input_sequences = None
        self.total_words = None
        self.tokenizer = None
        self.tokenize()
        self.create_input_sequences()
        self.create_model()
        self.train()
        test_sentence = "Pour moi le machine learning est"
        print(self.test(test_sentence, 10))

    def tokenize(self):
        self.tokenizer = Tokenizer()
        self.tokenizer.fit_on_texts(data)
        self.total_words = len(self.tokenizer.word_index) + 1

    def create_input_sequences(self):
        self.input_sequences = []
        for line in data:
            token_list = self.tokenizer.texts_to_sequences([line])[0]
            for i in range(1, len(token_list)):
                n_gram_sequence = token_list[:i + 1]
                self.input_sequences.append(n_gram_sequence)

        self.max_sequence_length = max([len(x) for x in self.input_sequences])
        self.input_sequences = pad_sequences(self.input_sequences, maxlen=self.max_sequence_length, padding='pre')

    def create_model(self):
        self.model = Sequential()
        self.model.add(Embedding(self.total_words, 100, input_length=self.max_sequence_length - 1))
        self.model.add(LSTM(150, return_sequences=True))
        self.model.add(Dropout(0.2))
        self.model.add(LSTM(100))
        self.model.add(Dense(self.total_words, activation='softmax'))

    def train(self):
        self.model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=['accuracy'])

        X, y = self.input_sequences[:, :-1], self.input_sequences[:, -1]
        y = tf.keras.utils.to_categorical(y, num_classes=self.total_words)

        self.model.fit(X, y, epochs=200, verbose=1)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

IV - Test

Finally, I test the model, with a test method called in the constructor of my classes.

Warning: I block generation in this test function if the word generated is identical to the previous one.

    def test(self, sentence: str, nb_word_to_generate: int):
        last_word = ""
        for _ in range(nb_word_to_generate):

            token_list = self.tokenizer.texts_to_sequences([sentence])[0]
            token_list = pad_sequences([token_list], maxlen=self.max_sequence_length - 1, padding='pre')
            predicted = np.argmax(self.model.predict(token_list), axis=-1)
            output_word = ""
            for word, index in self.tokenizer.word_index.items():
                if index == predicted:
                    output_word = word
                    break

            if last_word == output_word:
                return sentence

            sentence += " " + output_word
            last_word = output_word

        return sentence
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
