Model Card for yolochess_mlm_azure-cloud-35

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

This model with 66M parameters is pre-trained from scratch with Masked Language Modeling on Chess Positions in FEN format.
It is supposed to be used for downstream fine-tuning, e.g. Text Classification for human moves.

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

from transformers import AutoModelForMaskedLM, AutoTokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("jrahn/yolochess_mlm_azure-cloud-35")
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("jrahn/yolochess_mlm_azure-cloud-35")

from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline("fill-mask", "jrahn/yolochess_mlm_azure-cloud-35")
pipe("6k1/8/8/1pB3[MASK]P/1P3P2/8/8/8 w - - 1 74")

Training Procedure

<!-- This relates heavily to the Technical Specifications. Content here should link to that section when it is relevant to the training procedure. -->

Masked Language Modeling objective with 15% masked token ratio.

Preprocessing

Tokenize data["train"]["fen"] with max-length padding to 200 tokens with default distilbert-base-cased tokenizer. Inefficient: Most of the vocab is never observed in FEN, wasting embedding parameters. The sequence length / pos embedding size of model and sequence length of data preprocessing leads to lots of padding and wasted parameters. FENs should be shorter than 90 characters. Experiments with reduced max-length in tokenization show performance gains.

Speeds, Sizes, Times

<!-- This section provides information about throughput, start/end time, checkpoint size if relevant, etc. -->

Training for 172500 steps at batch-size 128 (22M examples, 1 epoch) took ~10 hrs on 1x RTX 4090, using 20GB VRAM, with final MLM-loss: 0.2567.
