What are Embedding Space Maps used for?

Embedding Space Maps are a part of ESM-LogME, a efficient method for finding intermediate datasets for transfer learning. There are two reasons to use ESM-LogME:

You don't have enough training data for your problem

If you don't have a enough training data for your problem, just use ESM-LogME to find more. You can supplement model training by including publicly available datasets in the training process.

1. Fine-tune a language model on suitable intermediate dataset.
2. Fine-tune the resulting model on your target dataset.

This workflow is called intermediate task transfer learning and it can significantly improve the target performance.

But what is a suitable dataset for your problem? ESM-LogME enable you to quickly rank thousands of datasets on the Hugging Face Hub by how well they are exptected to transfer to your target task.

You want to find similar datasets to your target dataset

Using ESM-LogME can be used like search engine on the Hugging Face Hub. You can find similar tasks to your target task without having to rely on heuristics. ESM-LogME estimates how language models fine-tuned on each intermediate task would benefinit your target task. This quantitative approach combines the effects of domain similarity and task similarity.

How can I use ESM-LogME / ESMs?

We release hf-dataset-selector, a Python package for intermediate task selection using Embedding Space Maps.

hf-dataset-selector fetches ESMs for a given language model and uses it to find the best dataset for applying intermediate training to the target task. ESMs are found by their tags on the Huggingface Hub.

from hfselect import Dataset, compute_task_ranking

# Load target dataset from the Hugging Face Hub
dataset = Dataset.from_hugging_face(
    name="stanfordnlp/imdb",
    split="train",
    text_col="text",
    label_col="label",
    is_regression=False,
    num_examples=1000,
    seed=42
)

# Fetch ESMs and rank tasks
task_ranking = compute_task_ranking(
    dataset=dataset,
    model_name="bert-base-multilingual-uncased"
)

# Display top 5 recommendations
print(task_ranking[:5])

How do Embedding Space Maps work?

Embedding Space Maps (ESMs) are neural networks that approximate the effect of fine-tuning a language model on a task. They can be used to quickly transform embeddings from a base model to approximate how a fine-tuned model would embed the the input text. ESMs can be used for intermediate task selection with the ESM-LogME workflow.

If, for example, one has little training data for emotion detection, first fine-tuning a language model on a sentiment classification dataset may improve performance strongly. But which task to choose for transfer learning? Prior methods producing useful task rankings are infeasible for large source pools, as they require forward passes through all source language models. We overcome this by introducing Embedding Space Maps (ESMs), light-weight neural networks that approximate the effect of fine-tuning a language model. We conduct the largest study on NLP task transferability and task selection with 12k source-target pairs. We find that applying ESMs on a prior method reduces execution time and disk space usage by factors of 10 and 278, respectively, while retaining high selection performance (avg. regret@5 score of 2.95)."
