【报错解决】ValueError: batch length of `text`: xx does not match batch length of `text_pair`: xx.

错误样例输入和输出

样例代码如下：

from transformers import GPT2Tokenizer,GPT2Model
tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained('gpt2')
model = GPT2Model.from_pretrained('gpt2')
special_tokens_dict = {'cls_token': '<CLS>'}
num_added_toks = tokenizer.add_special_tokens(special_tokens_dict)
text = ["this is the first sentences", "this is the second sentece, ", "this one is the third sentence"]
tp = ['first sentence']
output = tokenizer(text,tp)
print(output)

报错如下：

ValueError: batch length of `text`: 3 does not match batch length of `text_pair`: 1.

在样例代码中，注意text_pair的长度是1，但是text的长度是3。这就是错误的原因。

错误分析

Exception Class: TypeError

lit_into_words:
            is_batched = isinstance(text, (list, tuple)) and text and isinstance(text[0], (list, tuple))
        else:
            is_batched = isinstance(text, (list, tuple))

        if is_batched:
            if isinstance(text_pair, str):
                raise TypeError(
                    "when tokenizing batches of text, `text_pair` must be a list or tuple with the same length as `text`."

raise code 链接

分析如下：
这个错误是被Transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer class的主要代码部分被raised. 此主要方法用于tokenize和为模型准备一个或多个序列或一对或多对序列。如果text参数是以批处理形式给出的，那么text_pairs应该是一个与text长度相同的元组或列表。

解决的方法

确保text_pair要和text保持一样的长度，在text是batched sequences的情况下。
代码修改成如下：

from transformers import GPT2Tokenizer,GPT2Model
tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained('gpt2')
model = GPT2Model.from_pretrained('gpt2')


special_tokens_dict = {'cls_token': '<CLS>'}


num_added_toks = tokenizer.add_special_tokens(special_tokens_dict)
text = ["this is the first sentences", "this is the second sentece, ", "this one is the third sentence"]
tp = ['first sentence',"second","third"]
output = tokenizer(text,tp)
print(output)

输出结果：
