LUKE (Language Understanding with Knowledge-based Embeddings) is a new pretrained contextualized representation of words and entities based on transformer. It was proposed in our paper LUKE: Deep Contextualized Entity Representations with Entity-aware Self-attention. It achieves state-of-the-art results on important NLP benchmarks including SQuAD v1.1 (extractive question answering), CoNLL-2003 (named entity recognition), ReCoRD (cloze-style question answering), TACRED (relation classification), and Open Entity (entity typing).
This repository contains the source code to pretrain the model and fine-tune it to solve downstream tasks.

April 13, 2022: The mLUKE fine-tuning code is available
The example code is updated. Now it is based on
allennlp and
transformers. You can reproduce
the experiments in the LUKE and
mLUKE papers with this implementation. For
the details, please see README.md
under each example directory. The older code
used in the LUKE paper has been moved to
examples/legacy
.
April 13, 2022: The detailed instructions for pretraining LUKE models are available
For those interested in pretraining LUKE models, we explain how to prepare
datasets and run the pretraining code on pretraining.md
.
November 24, 2021: Entity disambiguation example is available
The example code of entity disambiguation based on LUKE has been added to this repository. This model was originally proposed in our paper, and achieved state-of-the-art results on five standard entity disambiguation datasets: AIDA-CoNLL, MSNBC, AQUAINT, ACE2004, and WNED-WIKI.
For further details, please refer to
examples/entity_disambiguation
.
August 3, 2021: New example code based on Hugging Face Transformers and AllenNLP is available
New fine-tuning examples of three downstream tasks, i.e., NER, relation classification, and entity typing, have been added to LUKE. These examples are developed based on Hugging Face Transformers and AllenNLP. The fine-tuning models are defined using simple AllenNLP's Jsonnet config files!
The example code is available in examples
.
May 5, 2021: LUKE is added to Hugging Face Transformers
LUKE has been added to the master branch of the Hugging Face Transformers library. You can now solve entity-related tasks (e.g., named entity recognition, relation classification, entity typing) easily using this library.
For example, the LUKE-large model fine-tuned on the TACRED dataset can be used as follows:
from transformers import LukeTokenizer, LukeForEntityPairClassification
model = LukeForEntityPairClassification.from_pretrained("studio-ousia/luke-large-finetuned-tacred")
tokenizer = LukeTokenizer.from_pretrained("studio-ousia/luke-large-finetuned-tacred")
text = "Beyoncé lives in Los Angeles."
entity_spans = [(0, 7), (17, 28)] # character-based entity spans corresponding to "Beyoncé" and "Los Angeles"
inputs = tokenizer(text, entity_spans=entity_spans, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)
logits = outputs.logits
predicted_class_idx = int(logits[0].argmax())
print("Predicted class:", model.config.id2label[predicted_class_idx])
# Predicted class: per:cities_of_residence
We also provide the following three Colab notebooks that show how to reproduce our experimental results on CoNLL-2003, TACRED, and Open Entity datasets using the library:
- Reproducing experimental results of LUKE on CoNLL-2003 Using Hugging Face Transformers
- Reproducing experimental results of LUKE on TACRED Using Hugging Face Transformers
- Reproducing experimental results of LUKE on Open Entity Using Hugging Face Transformers
Please refer to the official documentation for further details.
November 5, 2021: LUKE-500K (base) model
We released LUKE-500K (base), a new pretrained LUKE model which is smaller than existing LUKE-500K (large). The experimental results of the LUKE-500K (base) and LUKE-500K (large) on SQuAD v1 and CoNLL-2003 are shown as follows:
Task | Dataset | Metric | LUKE-500K (base) | LUKE-500K (large) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Extractive Question Answering | SQuAD v1.1 | EM/F1 | 86.1/92.3 | 90.2/95.4 |
Named Entity Recognition | CoNLL-2003 | F1 | 93.3 | 94.3 |
We tuned only the batch size and learning rate in the experiments based on LUKE-500K (base).
LUKE outperforms the previous state-of-the-art methods on five important NLP tasks:
Task | Dataset | Metric | LUKE-500K (large) | Previous SOTA |
---|---|---|---|---|
Extractive Question Answering | SQuAD v1.1 | EM/F1 | 90.2/95.4 | 89.9/95.1 (Yang et al., 2019) |
Named Entity Recognition | CoNLL-2003 | F1 | 94.3 | 93.5 (Baevski et al., 2019) |
Cloze-style Question Answering | ReCoRD | EM/F1 | 90.6/91.2 | 83.1/83.7 (Li et al., 2019) |
Relation Classification | TACRED | F1 | 72.7 | 72.0 (Wang et al. , 2020) |
Fine-grained Entity Typing | Open Entity | F1 | 78.2 | 77.6 (Wang et al. , 2020) |
These numbers are reported in our EMNLP 2020 paper.
LUKE can be installed using Poetry:
poetry install
# If you want to run pretraining for LUKE
poetry install --extras "pretraining opennlp"
# If you want to run pretraining for mLUKE
poetry install --extras "pretraining icu"
The virtual environment automatically created by Poetry can be activated by
poetry shell
.
A note on installing torch
The pytorch installed via poetry install
does not necessarily match your
hardware. In such case, see the official site and
reinstall the correct version with the pip
command.
poetry run pip3 uninstall torch torchvision torchaudio
# Example for Linux with CUDA 11.3
poetry run pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu113
Our pretrained models can be used with the transformers library. The model documentations can be found in the following links: LUKE and mLUKE.
Currently, the following models are available on the Hugging Face Model Hub.
Name | model_name | Entity Vocab Size | Params |
---|---|---|---|
LUKE (base) | studio-ousia/luke-base | 500K | 253 M |
LUKE (large) | studio-ousia/luke-large | 500K | 484 M |
mLUKE (base) | studio-ousia/mluke-base | 1.2M | 586 M |
mLUKE (large) | studio-ousia/mluke-large | 1.2M | 868 M |
LUKE Japanese (base) | studio-ousia/luke-japanese-base | 570K | 281 M |
LUKE Japanese (large) | studio-ousia/luke-japanese-large | 570K | 562 M |
The entity embeddings cause a large memory footprint as they contain all the
Wikipedia entities that we used in pretraining. However, in some downstream
tasks (e.g., entity typing, named entity recognition, and relation
classification), we only need special entity embeddings such as [MASK]
. Also,
you may want to only use the word representations.
With such use-cases in mind, to make our models easier to use, we have uploaded lite models only with special entity embeddings. These models perform exactly the same as the full models but have much fewer parameters, which enable fine-tuning the model with small GPUs.
Name | model_name | Params |
---|---|---|
LUKE (base) | studio-ousia/luke-base-lite | 125 M |
LUKE (large) | studio-ousia/luke-large-lite | 356 M |
mLUKE (base) | studio-ousia/mluke-base-lite | 279 M |
mLUKE (large) | studio-ousia/mluke-large-lite | 561 M |
LUKE Japanese (base) | studio-ousia/luke-japanese-base-lite | 134 M |
LUKE Japanese (large) | studio-ousia/luke-japanese-large-lite | 415 M |
We release the fine-tuning code based on
allennlp and
transformers under

. You can run fine-tuning experiments very easily with
pre-defined config files and the allennlp train
command. For the details and
example commands for each task, please see the task directory under
examples
