Loading pretrained BERT model issue

Viewed 1006

I am using Huggingface to further train a BERT model. I saved the model using two methods: step (1) Saving the entire model using this code: model.save_pretrained(save_location), and step (2) save the state_dict of the model using this code: torch.save(model.state_dict(),'model.pth') However, when I try to load this pretrained BERT model using the following code bert_mask_lm = BertForMaskedLM.from_pretrained('save_location') for step (1) and torch.load('model.pth') for step (2), I am getting this following error in both steps:

    309         return True

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Detailed stacktrace of step (1) is as follows:

I am using the latest torch (1.7.1) and transformers (4.3.3) packages. I do not clearly understand what causes this error and how to solve this issue.

I was going through the same thing. Turns out that this might be due to version indifference of both PyTorch and transformers. It has to be version-specific.

I used the following without downloading the latest bert-base-uncased model :

pip install torch==1.5.1
pip install transformers==3.0.2

MODEL_NAME = 'bert-base-uncased'
model = BertForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(
    MODEL_NAME
)

This will automatically download the pre-trained BERT model with respect to the suitable version of transformers NOTE: I downloaded the vocab.txt explicitly from the official site separately and used that with BERT tokenizer class.
