# Introduction
This repo introduce how to pretrain a chinese roberta-large from scratch, including preprocessing, pretraining, finetune. The repo can help you quickly train a high-quality bert.
## 0. Prerequisite
- Install Colossal-AI
- Editing the port from /etc/ssh/sshd_config and /etc/ssh/ssh_config, every host expose the same ssh port of server and client. If you are a root user, you also set the **PermitRootLogin** from /etc/ssh/sshd_config to "yes"
- Ensure that each host can log in to each other without password. If you have n hosts, need to execute n<sup>2</sup> times
```
ssh-keygen
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ip_destination
```
- In all hosts, edit /etc/hosts to record all hosts' name and ip.The example is shown below.
```bash
192.168.2.1 GPU001
192.168.2.2 GPU002
192.168.2.3 GPU003
192.168.2.4 GPU004
192.168.2.5 GPU005
192.168.2.6 GPU006
192.168.2.7 GPU007
...
```
- restart ssh
```
service ssh restart
```
## 1. Corpus Preprocessing
```bash
cd preprocessing
```
following the `README.md`, preprocess original corpus to h5py+numpy
## 2. Pretrain
```bash
cd pretraining
```
following the `README.md`, load the h5py generated by preprocess of step 1 to pretrain the model
## 3. Finetune
The checkpoint produced by this repo can replace `pytorch_model.bin` from [hfl/chinese-roberta-wwm-ext-large](https://huggingface.co/hfl/chinese-roberta-wwm-ext-large/tree/main) directly. Then use transfomers from Hugging Face to finetune downstream application.
