In order to generate new TemporalWiki (training and evaluation corpus), use the TemporalWikiDatasets repository.

In order to reproduce our results, take the following steps:

1. Create conda environment and install requirements

conda create -n twiki python=3.8 && conda activate twiki
pip install -r requirements.txt

Also, make sure to install the correct version of pytorch corresponding to the CUDA version and environment: Refer to https://pytorch.org/

#For CUDA 10.x
pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio
#For CUDA 11.x
pip3 install torch==1.9.0+cu111 torchvision==0.10.0+cu111 torchaudio==0.9.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

2. Download the preprocessed training and evaluation data (5 snapshots from 2021.08 - 2021.12) used for the experiments on the paper.

To download the Entire Wikipedia Corpus data:

wget https://huggingface.co/datasets/seonghyeonye/TemporalWiki/resolve/main/Wikipedia_Full.zip

To download TWiki_Diffsets:

wget https://huggingface.co/datasets/seonghyeonye/TemporalWiki/resolve/main/TWiki_Diffsets.zip

To download TWiki_Probes:

wget https://huggingface.co/datasets/seonghyeonye/TemporalWiki/resolve/main/TWiki_Probes.zip

Download the data to data directory and unzip it

3. Run the experiment and configuration components

This is an example of performing continual pretraining on TWiki_Diffsets (main experiment) with CKL

python run.py --config configs/training/diff.json

After training the model, run convert_to_fp32.py to convert the fp16 model checkpoints to fp32 checkpoint files to be used for evaluation.

This is an example of performing light-tuning on the pretrained models

python run.py --config configs/light_tuning/GPT2/subset/0801-0901_changed.json

This is an example of getting the TWiki_Probes New zero-shot evaluation of continually pretrained CKL

python run.py --config configs/evaluation/GPT2/subset/0801-0901_changed.json

For components in configuration file, please refer to the Continual-Knowledge-Learning repository.
