# MANTa-LM (base)
Pretrained MANTa-LM architecture as introduced in the paper [MANTa: Efficient Gradient-Based Tokenization for Robust End-to-End Language Modeling](https://aclanthology.org/2022.findings-emnlp.207.pdf).

## Model Details
### Model Description
The MANTa tokenizer aims at mimicking the combination of a subword tokenizer and an embedding matrix in a classical language model in a differentiable way.
This trainable tokenizer is thus added as the first layer of an encoder-decoder model and trained using the language modeling objective.
Our results show that MANTa-LM only slightly degrades the performance of a T5 equivalent on the GLUE benchmark while being **much more robust** to artificial and user-generated noise.
### Model Sources

## Uses
### Direct Use
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("almanach/manta-lm-base", trust_remote_code=True)
manta_model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("almanach/manta-lm-base", trust_remote_code=True)
tokens = tokenizer("The name of the capital of France is <extra_id_0> and it is a very big city.", return_tensors="pt")
output = manta_model.generate(**tokens, decoder_start_token_id=0)
print(tokenizer.batch_decode(output))
```
### Recommendations
We recommend using a smaller learning rate for the tokenizer module during fine-tuning (byte embeddings, frontier predictor, pooler).
## Training Details
### Training Data
This model was trained on the C4 dataset.
### Training Procedure
The training objective is the same as ByT5, but most hyperparameters are taken from T5.
