Source codes and data for ACL 2022 Paper "P-Tuning v2: Prompt Tuning Can Be Comparable to Finetuning Universally Across Scales and Tasks"
An optimized prompt tuning strategy achieving comparable performance to fine-tuning on small/medium-sized models and sequence tagging challenges.
Find our previous version P-tuning v1 for knowledge probing and few-shot SuperGLUE. Your kindly starring our repo can greatly encourage us to work harder :)
P-tuning v2 leverages deep prompt tuning, which is to apply continuous prompts for every layer input of the pretrained transformer. Deep prompt tuning increases the capacity of continuous prompts and closes the gap to fine-tuning across various settings, especially for small models and hard tasks.
Thanks @rainatam's joint effort in re-organizing codes for publishing!
Since experiments reported in our paper are all conducted on NVIDIA DGX-A100 servers (which might be difficult to acquire), we reimplement P-tuning v2's results on BERT-large/RoBERTa-large with:
- Ubuntu servers with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (24G) GPUs
- cuda 11.1
- packages with certain versions (provided below)
We notice that the best hyper-parameters can be sensitive to your server environment and package version. If you do not have the exact same environment, we highly recommend you to run hyper-parameter search in your environment based on our example hyper-parameter search script in search_script and result collection scripts search.py.
We conduct our experiment with Anaconda3. If you have installed Anaconda3, then create the environment for P-tuning v2:
conda create -n pt2 python=3.8.5
conda activate pt2
After we setup basic conda environment, install pytorch related packages via:
conda install -n pt2 pytorch==1.7.1 torchvision==0.8.2 torchaudio==0.7.2 cudatoolkit=11.0 -c pytorch
Finally, install other python packages we need:
pip install -r requirements.txt
For SuperGLUE and SQuAD datasets, we download them from the Huggingface Datasets APIs (embedded in our codes).
For sequence tagging (NER, SRL) datasets, we prepare a non-official packup here. After downloading, unzip the packup to the project root. Please use at your own risk.
Run training scripts in run_script (e.g., RoBERTa for RTE):
bash run_script/run_rte_roberta.sh
Currently we have released our reimplementation on following tasks and datasets. More implementation will be released soon.

For other hyper-parameters, please refer to the training scripts. If you can not achieve the reported results at the best epoch, there is probably an environmental mismatch and hyper-parameter search is needed.
