Modifying to work for tensorflow 2.0

[DAMO238]

Since I am running Arch, it is an absolute pain to deal with older versions of software. Therefore, I want to update this to tensorflow 2.0. The biggest problem is in the model.py script, since it relies on tensorflow.contrib which no longer exists (even in tensorflow.compat.v1). How can I easily modify this script to make this work with the latest and greatest tensorflow?

Having same issue with tensorflow.contrib. Running TF 2.1 on Debian (Raspbian) Buster. I hope this can be addressed soon.

Hi All, Plz take a look at lib in your implement in section TFGPT2Model: https://huggingface.co/transformers/v2.0.0/model_doc/gpt2.html And consider upgrade TF: https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/upgrade

Has someone found any way to run this in TF 2.2?

There is no need to worry about the whole tensorflow.contrib module. In this project only the HParams class is used from tensorflow.contrib.training (import in model.py).

What I have found (tensorflow/community#148) is that the original class can be replaced with a nice fork. Saving hparam.py in src folder and replacing import with

from hparam import HParams

solves the original problem.

UPD: A pull request #262 just appeared that will close this issue.
