KerasNLP is a simple and powerful API for building Natural Language Processing (NLP) models within the Keras ecosystem.
KerasNLP provides modular building blocks following standard Keras interfaces (layers, metrics) that allow you to quickly and flexibly iterate on your task. Engineers working in applied NLP can leverage the library to assemble training and inference pipelines that are both state-of-the-art and production-grade.
KerasNLP can be understood as a horizontal extension of the Keras API — components are first-party Keras objects that are too specialized to be added to core Keras, but that receive the same level of polish as the rest of the Keras API.
We are a new and growing project, and welcome contributions.
To install the latest official release:
pip install keras-nlp --upgrade
To install the latest unreleased changes to the library, we recommend using pip to install directly from the master branch on github:
pip install git+https://github.com/keras-team/keras-nlp.git --upgrade
Tokenize text, build a tiny transformer, and train a single batch:
import keras_nlp
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow import keras
# Tokenize some inputs with a binary label.
vocab = ["[UNK]", "the", "qu", "##ick", "br", "##own", "fox", "."]
sentences = ["The quick brown fox jumped.", "The fox slept."]
tokenizer = keras_nlp.tokenizers.WordPieceTokenizer(
vocabulary=vocab,
sequence_length=10,
)
x, y = tokenizer(sentences), tf.constant([1, 0])
# Create a tiny transformer.
inputs = keras.Input(shape=(None,), dtype="int32")
outputs = keras_nlp.layers.TokenAndPositionEmbedding(
vocabulary_size=len(vocab),
sequence_length=10,
embedding_dim=16,
)(inputs)
outputs = keras_nlp.layers.TransformerEncoder(
num_heads=4,
intermediate_dim=32,
)(outputs)
outputs = keras.layers.GlobalAveragePooling1D()(outputs)
outputs = keras.layers.Dense(1, activation="sigmoid")(outputs)
model = keras.Model(inputs, outputs)
# Run a single batch of gradient descent.
model.compile(optimizer="adam", loss="binary_crossentropy", jit_compile=True)
model.train_on_batch(x, y)For more in depth guides and examples, visit https://keras.io/keras_nlp/.
We follow Semantic Versioning, and plan to
provide backwards compatibility guarantees both for code and saved models built
with our components. While we continue with pre-release 0.y.z development, we
may break compatibility at any time and APIs should not be consider stable.
KerasNLP provides access to pre-trained models via the keras_nlp.models API.
These pre-trained models are provided on an "as is" basis, without warranties
or conditions of any kind. The following underlying models are provided by third
parties, and subject to separate licenses:
DistilBERT, RoBERTa, XLM-RoBERTa, GPT-2.
