A simple Python package that wraps existing model fine-tuning and generation scripts for OpenAI GPT-2 text generation model (specifically the "small", 124M hyperparameter version). Additionally, this package allows easier generation of text, generating to a file for easy curation, allowing for prefixes to force the text to start with a given phrase.
## Usage
An example for downloading the model to the local system, fineturning it on a dataset. and generating some text.
Warning: the pretrained model, and thus any finetuned model, is 500 MB!
```python
import gpt_2_simple as gpt2
gpt2.download_gpt2() # model is saved into current directory under /models/124M/
sess = gpt2.start_tf_sess()
gpt2.finetune(sess, 'shakespeare.txt', steps=1000) # steps is max number of training steps
gpt2.generate(sess)
```
The generated model checkpoints are by default in `/checkpoint/run1`. If you want to load a model from that folder and generate text from it:
```python
import gpt_2_simple as gpt2
sess = gpt2.start_tf_sess()
gpt2.load_gpt2(sess)
gpt2.generate(sess)
```
As with textgenrnn, you can generate and save text for later use (e.g. an API or a bot) by using the `return_as_list` parameter.
```python
single_text = gpt2.generate(sess, return_as_list=True)[0]
print(single_text)
```
You can pass a `run_name` parameter to `finetune` and `load_gpt2` if you want to store/load multiple models in a `checkpoint` folder.
NB: *Restart the Python session first* if you want to finetune on another dataset or load another model.
