"""Run BERT pretrain model training using low-level API.
Args:
_sentinel: Used to prevent positional parameters. Internal, do not use.
strategy: Distribution strategy on which to run low level training loop.
model_fn: Function that returns a tuple (model, sub_model). Caller of this
function should add optimizer to the `model` via calling
`model.compile()` API or manually setting `model.optimizer` attribute.
Second element of the returned tuple(sub_model) is an optional sub model
to be used for initial checkpoint -- if provided.
loss_fn: Function with signature func(labels, logits) and returns a loss
tensor.
scale_loss: Whether to divide the raw loss by number of replicas before
gradients calculation.
model_dir: Model directory used during training for restoring/saving model
weights.
train_input_fn: Function that returns a tf.data.Dataset used for training.
steps_per_epoch: Number of steps to run per epoch. At the end of each
epoch, model checkpoint will be saved and evaluation will be conducted
if evaluation dataset is provided.
num_eval_per_epoch: Number of evaluations per epoch.
steps_per_loop: Number of steps per graph-mode loop. In order to reduce
communication in eager context, training logs are printed every
steps_per_loop.
epochs: Number of epochs to train.
eval_input_fn: Function that returns evaluation dataset. If none,
evaluation is skipped.
eval_steps: Number of steps to run evaluation. Required if `eval_input_fn`
is not none.
metric_fn: A metrics function that returns either a Keras Metric object or
a list of Keras Metric objects to record evaluation result using
evaluation dataset or with training dataset after every epoch.
init_checkpoint: Optional checkpoint to load to `sub_model` returned by
`model_fn`.
custom_callbacks: A list of Keras Callbacks objects to run during
training. More specifically, `on_train_begin(), on_train_end(),
on_batch_begin()`, `on_batch_end()`, `on_epoch_begin()`,
`on_epoch_end()` methods are invoked during training. Note that some
metrics may be missing from `logs`.
run_eagerly: Whether to run model training in pure eager execution. This
should be disable for TPUStrategy.
sub_model_export_name: If not None, will export `sub_model` returned by
`model_fn` into checkpoint files. The name of intermediate checkpoint
file is {sub_model_export_name}_step_{step}.ckpt and the last
checkpint's name is {sub_model_export_name}.ckpt; if None, `sub_model`
will not be exported as checkpoint.
explicit_allreduce: Whether to explicitly perform gradient allreduce,
instead of relying on implicit allreduce in optimizer.apply_gradients().
default is False. For now, if training using FP16 mixed precision,
explicit allreduce will aggregate gradients in FP16 format. For TPU and
GPU training using FP32, explicit allreduce will aggregate gradients in
FP32 format.
pre_allreduce_callbacks: A list of callback functions that takes gradients
and model variables pairs as input, manipulate them, and returns a new
gradients and model variables paris. The callback functions will be
invoked in the list order and before gradients are allreduced. With
mixed precision training, the pre_allreduce_allbacks will be applied on
scaled_gradients. Default is no callbacks. Only used when
explicit_allreduce=True.
post_allreduce_callbacks: A list of callback functions that takes
gradients and model variables pairs as input, manipulate them, and
returns a new gradients and model variables paris. The callback
functions will be invoked in the list order and right before gradients
are applied to variables for updates. Default is no callbacks. Only used
when explicit_allreduce=True.
train_summary_interval: Step interval for training summaries. If the value
is a negative number, then training summaries are not enabled.
allreduce_bytes_per_pack: A non-negative integer. Breaks collective
operations into packs of certain size. If it's zero, all gradients are
in one pack. Breaking gradient into packs could enable overlap between
allreduce and backprop computation. This flag only takes effect when
explicit_allreduce is set to True.'
Returns:
Trained model.
Raises:
ValueError: (1) When model returned by `model_fn` does not have optimizer
attribute or when required parameters are set to none. (2) eval args are
not specified correctly. (3) metric_fn must be a callable if specified.
(4) sub_model_checkpoint_name is specified, but `sub_model` returned
by `model_fn` is None.
