# Adapter `allenai/specter2_aug2023refresh` for `allenai/specter2_aug2023refresh_base`

An [adapter](https://adapterhub.ml) for the `None` model that was trained on the [allenai/scirepeval](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/scirepeval/) dataset.

This adapter was created for usage with the **[adapter-transformers](https://github.com/Adapter-Hub/adapter-transformers)** library.

## Usage

First, install `adapter-transformers`:

```
pip install -U adapter-transformers
```
_Note: adapter-transformers is a fork of transformers that acts as a drop-in replacement with adapter support. [More](https://docs.adapterhub.ml/installation.html)_

Now, the adapter can be loaded and activated like this:

```python
from transformers import AutoAdapterModel

model = AutoAdapterModel.from_pretrained("allenai/specter2_aug2023refresh_base")
adapter_name = model.load_adapter("allenai/specter2_aug2023refresh", source="hf", set_active=True)
```

**\*\*\*\*\*\*Update\*\*\*\*\*\***

This update introduces a new set of SPECTER 2.0 models with the base transformer encoder pre-trained on an extended citation dataset containing more recent papers.
For benchmarking purposes please use the existing SPECTER 2.0 models w/o the **aug2023refresh** suffix viz. [allenai/specter2_base](https://huggingface.co/allenai/specter2_base).

# SPECTER 2.0 (Base)
SPECTER 2.0 is the successor to [SPECTER](https://huggingface.co/allenai/specter) and is capable of generating task specific embeddings for scientific tasks when paired with [adapters](https://huggingface.co/models?search=allenai/specter-2_).
This is the base model to be used along with the adapters.
Given the combination of title and abstract of a scientific paper or a short texual query, the model can be used to generate effective embeddings to be used in downstream applications.

**Note:For general embedding purposes, please use [allenai/specter2](https://huggingface.co/allenai/specter2).**

**To get the best performance on a downstream task type please load the associated adapter with the base model as in the example below.**

# Model Details

## Model Description

SPECTER 2.0 has been trained on over 6M triplets of scientific paper citations, which are available [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/scirepeval/viewer/cite_prediction_new/evaluation).
Post that it is trained with additionally attached task format specific adapter modules on all the [SciRepEval](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/scirepeval) training tasks.

Task Formats trained on:
- Classification
- Regression
- Proximity
- Adhoc Search

  
It builds on the work done in [SciRepEval: A Multi-Format Benchmark for Scientific Document Representations](https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:254018137) and we evaluate the trained model on this benchmark as well.

*Retrieval model should suffice for downstream task types not mentioned above

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

# load model and tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('allenai/specter2_aug2023refresh_base')

#load base model
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('allenai/specter2_aug2023refresh_base')

#load the adapter(s) as per the required task, provide an identifier for the adapter in load_as argument and activate it
model.load_adapter("allenai/specter2_aug2023refresh", source="hf", load_as="specter2_proximity", set_active=True)

papers = [{'title': 'BERT', 'abstract': 'We introduce a new language representation model called BERT'},
          {'title': 'Attention is all you need', 'abstract': ' The dominant sequence transduction models are based on complex recurrent or convolutional neural networks'}]

# concatenate title and abstract
text_batch = [d['title'] + tokenizer.sep_token + (d.get('abstract') or '') for d in papers]
# preprocess the input
inputs = self.tokenizer(text_batch, padding=True, truncation=True,
                                   return_tensors="pt", return_token_type_ids=False, max_length=512)
output = model(**inputs)
# take the first token in the batch as the embedding
embeddings = output.last_hidden_state[:, 0, :]

## Downstream Use

<!-- This section is for the model use when fine-tuned for a task, or when plugged into a larger ecosystem/app -->

# Training Details

## Training Data

<!-- This should link to a Data Card, perhaps with a short stub of information on what the training data is all about as well as documentation related to data pre-processing or additional filtering. -->

The base model is trained on citation links between papers and the adapters are trained on 8 large scale tasks across the four formats.
All the data is a part of SciRepEval benchmark and is available [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/scirepeval).

The citation link are triplets in the form 

```json
{"query": {"title": ..., "abstract": ...}, "pos": {"title": ..., "abstract": ...}, "neg": {"title": ..., "abstract": ...}}
```

consisting of a query paper, a positive citation and a negative which can be from the same/different field of study as the query or citation of a citation.

## Training Procedure 

Please refer to the [SPECTER paper](https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:215768677).


### Training Hyperparameters


The model is trained in two stages using [SciRepEval](https://github.com/allenai/scirepeval/blob/main/training/TRAINING.md):
- Base Model: First a base model is trained on the above citation triplets.
``` batch size = 1024, max input length = 512, learning rate = 2e-5, epochs = 2 warmup steps = 10% fp16```
- Adapters: Thereafter, task format specific adapters are trained on the SciRepEval training tasks, where 600K triplets are sampled from above and added to the training data as well.
``` batch size = 256, max input length = 512, learning rate = 1e-4, epochs = 6 warmup = 1000 steps fp16```


# Evaluation

We evaluate the model on [SciRepEval](https://github.com/allenai/scirepeval), a large scale eval benchmark for scientific embedding tasks which which has [SciDocs] as a subset.
We also evaluate and establish a new SoTA on [MDCR](https://github.com/zoranmedic/mdcr), a large scale citation recommendation benchmark.
