Description

I finetuned GPT-2 with LORA using the latest dp-transformers library and 1 GPU. I am now trying to use the fine-tuned model to generate synthetic private text data using the following command-line code script following the instruction on this page:

python3 generate-text.py \
    --model_type gpt2 \
    --model_name_or_path output \
    --input_training_file data \
    --output_dir synthetic_data \
    --length 128 \
    --total_sequences 100 \
    --do_sample \
    --batch_size 8 \
    --lora_dim 4 \
    --lora_alpha 32 \
    --lora_dropout`` 0.0 \

However, an error occurred: ImportError: cannot import name 'convert_gpt2_attention_to_lora' from 'dp_transformers.module_modification' I checked the source code of dp_transformers.module_modification and found that there is indeed no function called convert_gpt2_attention_to_lora. Will the library be updated to make sure the synthetic private text generation could work?

Thanks for your time.

Research direction

Start with research/synthetic-text-generation-with-DP/generate-text.py and inspect its import of convert_gpt2_attention_to_lora, then compare it with the current dp_transformers.module_modification contents. Verify the documented command against the current library. Done means the import succeeds and the synthetic private text generation workflow can run as described.
