TabFormer VS transformers

Hi, I am currently working on a basic binary classifier for a transaction dataset, to predict which transaction is fraudulent (Dataset: https://github.com/IBM/TabFormer). The following is a quick summary of the dataset:

I am currently working on a transaction dataset (https://github.com/IBM/TabFormer/tree/main/data/credit_card) and I intend to build a fraud detection engine, but with tabular data transformed into a graph. I have used this article as my main outline for this approach: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/optimizing-fraud-detection-in-financial-services-with-graph-neural-networks-and-nvidia-gpus/.

When people talk about tabular data they mean something with like <100 columns where your classification might strongly depend on a handful of specific ones. There is of course a regime where data is "somewhat" tabular (some NLP problems) so it's not entirely well-defined. And there are NN architecture for tabular data like the tabformer.

Fascinating work, very promising.

Can you summarise how the model in your paper differs from this one ?

https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/27011

transformers is a package by Hugging Face, that helps you interact with models on HF Hub (GitHub)

Is t5x an encoder/decoder architecture?

Some more general options.

The Flax ecosystem

https://github.com/google/flax?tab=readme-ov-file

or dm-haiku

https://github.com/google-deepmind/dm-haiku

were some of the best developed communities in the Jax AI field

Perhaps the “trax” repo? https://github.com/google/trax

Some HF examples https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/main/exampl...

Sadly it seems much of the work is proprietary these days, but one example could be Grok-1, if you customize the details. https://github.com/xai-org/grok-1/blob/main/run.py

The HuggingFace transformers library already has support for a similar method called prompt lookup decoding that uses the existing context to generate an ngram model: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/27722

I don't think it would be that hard to switch it out for a pretrained ngram model.

Most of this tutorial is based on Hugging Face course about Transformers and on Niels Rogge's Transformers tutorials: make sure to check their work and give them a star on GitHub, if you please ❤️

* Superconvergence + LR range finder + Fast AI's Ranger21 optimizer was the goto optimizer for CNNs, and worked fabulously well, but on transformers, the learning rate range finder sadi 1e-3 was the best, whilst 1e-5 was better. However, the 1 cycle learning rate stuck. https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/16013

Thanks! :) I'm pushing them into transformers, pytorch-gemma and collabing with the Gemma team to resolve all the issues :)

The RoPE fix should already be in transformers 4.38.2: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/29285

My main PR for transformers which fixes most of the issues (some still left): https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/29402
