anything wrong? or there should be some tricks here?

Hi,
Are you training with a single GPU? That may be the issue, as batch size is a critical parameter. Can you try to increase the batch size? If you have a single GPU, what you could try to do is to perform several forward / backward steps before performing the optimizer steps, it will simulate bigger batch sizes.
In practice you should get this at the end of the first epoch (epoch size was 300000 in my case):
epoch -> 0.00
valid_en_pred_ppl -> 32.37
valid_en_pred_acc -> 40.87
valid_fr_pred_ppl -> 24.22
valid_fr_pred_acc -> 44.25
valid_pred_ppl -> 28.29
valid_pred_acc -> 42.56
test_en_pred_ppl -> 28.95
test_en_pred_acc -> 42.24
test_fr_pred_ppl -> 14.40
test_fr_pred_acc -> 50.10
test_pred_ppl -> 21.68
test_pred_acc -> 46.17
And if you train for a while:
epoch -> 146.00
valid_en_pred_ppl -> 8.12
valid_en_pred_acc -> 58.40
valid_fr_pred_ppl -> 4.36
valid_fr_pred_acc -> 68.57
valid_pred_ppl -> 6.24
valid_pred_acc -> 63.48
test_en_pred_ppl -> 5.87
test_en_pred_acc -> 63.02
test_fr_pred_ppl -> 3.87
test_fr_pred_acc -> 69.09
test_pred_ppl -> 4.87
test_pred_acc -> 66.06

Thank you for these details, and should I keep lr=0.0001 or make it larger?
from xlm.
We tried different values of learning rate for all our experiments, and I think lr=0.0001 always worked, and it was often the best value, so I think you can keep it.
from xlm.
Fine! Could you share the batch_size or the number of GPUs (or recommended value) in your experiments?
from xlm.
Batch size we just use the biggest value that fits in memory, it was 32 for this experiment. And here we used 32GPU. Probably 8 would have been fine, just slower, I didn't try.
from xlm.
Thanks a lot for providing your logs! I had a doubt, what value of sample_alpha do you use for getting the above posted results?
from xlm.
sample_alpha
is only for MLM pretraining. You can probably ignore this parameter and always set it to 0
, this is what we did.
