Discrete Flow Models

Repository for notebooks and the text experiment from the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.04997

Code for the protein co-design experiments can be found at https://github.com/jasonkyuyim/multiflow

This repository is built on top of https://github.com/karpathy/nanoGPT

Install

Package requirements are listed in environment.yml and a conda environment can be installed from this file e.g.

conda env create --file environment.yml

Notebooks

To get started playing around with toy discrete flow models, we have included some notebooks that contain masking, uniform and the general forms as described in the implementation details section of the paper.

Sampling a Pre-Trained Model

We provide our pre-trained text8 model at https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rno9fq8mpjs2bdctz7o53/dfm.pt?rlkey=1ge1wxv14b4a46b730hbltwkg&dl=0

To generate samples with this model first update the config file config/sample_text8.py.

• Set the out_dir to a directory where samples will be saved.
• Set ckpt_path to point to where the pre-trained .pt model is.
• All other settings can be left at their default values.

Then run the following command to generate samples:

python sample.py config/sample_text8.py

We have provided a script that can re-create the logit temperature sweep from the paper. Within the scripts/generate_samples.sh, the arguments to the sample_eval.py script should be modified.

• Set the --path argument to where the same directory as out_dir in config/sample_text8.py.
• Set --cache_dir to a path to where you would like the GPT-J-6B model to be downloaded to.

Then run the following command to generate samples:

bash scripts/generate_samples.sh

This will save an NLL file and entropy file in each sample folder which can then be coallated to form the logit temperature sweep.

Training

Downloading the text8 dataset

First we download the text8 data. Set the DATA_DIR variable within the data/text8/download.sh script to the location of this repository's data/text8 directory. Then run

bash data/text8/download.sh

Then we pre-process the downloaded data.

python data/text8/prepare.py

Running training

First update the config file config/train_text8.py. Set the out_dir to a directory where a folder can be created to store the model checkpoints. Then to run on 4GPUs run the following command:

torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node=4 train.py config/train_text8.py
