Input tensor size doesnt inherit training dataset labels count

Question

Recently I've stumbled upon an issue that I'm unable to resolve myself.

I've been reproducing examples for using text classification scripts: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/master/examples/text-classification/run_glue.py https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/master/examples/text-classification/run_tf_glue.py

Both PyTorch and Tensorflow version of them.

I've conducted few tests and one of its results are unclear to me. These tests were including mostly switching between both ML framework scripts (PyTorch/Tensorflow) and using different models with respective datasets.

I was trying to fine-tune base language models like bert-base-uncased (uploaded via https://huggingface.co/models) with my custom CSV dataset to perform well at sequence classification task.

Most of these tests were entirely succesful, and I was able to verify models inference and predictions.

The issue began when I've tried to use different model with PyTorch framework script.

Maybe it is worth to add that same model worked flawlessly on Tensorflow fine-tuning script. Errors occur only when I'm fine-tuning with PyTorch script.

This model's config is as below:

{
  "architectures": [
    "BertForPreTraining"
  ],
  "attention_probs_dropout_prob": 0.1,
  "hidden_act": "gelu",
  "hidden_dropout_prob": 0.1,
  "hidden_size": 768,
  "initializer_range": 0.02,
  "intermediate_size": 3072,
  "layer_norm_eps": 1e-12,
  "max_position_embeddings": 512,
  "model_type": "bert",
  "num_attention_heads": 12,
  "num_hidden_layers": 12,
  "output_past": true,
  "pad_token_id": 0,
  "type_vocab_size": 2,
  "vocab_size": 60000
}

I kept receiving errors like:

RuntimeError: CUDA error: CUBLAS_STATUS_ALLOC_FAILED when calling cublasCreate(handle)

  File "/home/konrad/miniconda3/envs/test_1_3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/torch/nn/functional.py", line 2387, in nll_loss
    ret = torch._C._nn.nll_loss(input, target, weight, _Reduction.get_enum(reduction), ignore_index)
RuntimeError: cuda runtime error (710) : device-side assert triggered at /opt/conda/conda-bld/pytorch_1614378083779/work/aten/src/THCUNN/generic/ClassNLLCriterion.cu:115

Which eventually led me to investigate the sizes of input and target tensors.

I've found out that input tensor size was not inheriting the count of labels.

It was:

torch.Size([16, 2])

while it should be: (77 unique labels in dataset)

torch.Size([16, 77])

I'm pretty sure it should be like that, because other successful test's input tensor sizes were correct.

So my question emerged.
What kind of methods/parameters one may use/set to ensure that correct input tensor size will be adjusted accordingly to the number of unique labels in my dataset?

May the BERT model transformers architecture be relevant? Because when I was using models of architecture like BertModel or BertForMaskedLM there were no issues like that, everything was going smoothly.

That experimental model that caused errors was of different architecture - BertForPretraining.

The same questions I'd like to ask You. I would appreciate any tips and further insights that could help me find a solution.
