# LUKE

## Overview

The LUKE model was proposed in [LUKE: Deep Contextualized Entity Representations with Entity-aware Self-attention](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.01057) by Ikuya Yamada, Akari Asai, Hiroyuki Shindo, Hideaki Takeda and Yuji Matsumoto.

It is based on RoBERTa and adds entity embeddings as well as an entity-aware self-attention mechanism, which helps

improve performance on various downstream tasks involving reasoning about entities such as named entity recognition,

extractive and cloze-style question answering, entity typing, and relation classification.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

*Entity representations are useful in natural language tasks involving entities. In this paper, we propose new

pretrained contextualized representations of words and entities based on the bidirectional transformer. The proposed

model treats words and entities in a given text as independent tokens, and outputs contextualized representations of

them. Our model is trained using a new pretraining task based on the masked language model of BERT. The task involves

predicting randomly masked words and entities in a large entity-annotated corpus retrieved from Wikipedia. We also

propose an entity-aware self-attention mechanism that is an extension of the self-attention mechanism of the

transformer, and considers the types of tokens (words or entities) when computing attention scores. The proposed model

achieves impressive empirical performance on a wide range of entity-related tasks. In particular, it obtains

state-of-the-art results on five well-known datasets: Open Entity (entity typing), TACRED (relation classification),

CoNLL-2003 (named entity recognition), ReCoRD (cloze-style question answering), and SQuAD 1.1 (extractive question

answering).*

This model was contributed by [ikuyamada](https://huggingface.co/ikuyamada) and [nielsr](https://huggingface.co/nielsr). The original code can be found [here](https://github.com/studio-ousia/luke).

## Usage tips

- This implementation is the same as [`RobertaModel`] with the addition of entity embeddings as well

  as an entity-aware self-attention mechanism, which improves performance on tasks involving reasoning about entities.

- LUKE treats entities as input tokens; therefore, it takes `entity_ids`, `entity_attention_mask`,

  `entity_token_type_ids` and `entity_position_ids` as extra input. You can obtain those using

  [`LukeTokenizer`].

- [`LukeTokenizer`] takes `entities` and `entity_spans` (character-based start and end

  positions of the entities in the input text) as extra input. `entities` typically consist of [MASK] entities or

  Wikipedia entities. The brief description when inputting these entities are as follows:

  - *Inputting [MASK] entities to compute entity representations*: The [MASK] entity is used to mask entities to be

    predicted during pretraining. When LUKE receives the [MASK] entity, it tries to predict the original entity by

    gathering the information about the entity from the input text. Therefore, the [MASK] entity can be used to address

    downstream tasks requiring the information of entities in text such as entity typing, relation classification, and

    named entity recognition.

  - *Inputting Wikipedia entities to compute knowledge-enhanced token representations*: LUKE learns rich information

    (or knowledge) about Wikipedia entities during pretraining and stores the information in its entity embedding. By

    using Wikipedia entities as input tokens, LUKE outputs token representations enriched by the information stored in

    the embeddings of these entities. This is particularly effective for tasks requiring real-world knowledge, such as

    question answering.

- There are three head models for the former use case:

  - [`LukeForEntityClassification`], for tasks to classify a single entity in an input text such as

    entity typing, e.g. the [Open Entity dataset](https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~eunsol/html_pages/open_entity.html).

    This model places a linear head on top of the output entity representation.

  - [`LukeForEntityPairClassification`], for tasks to classify the relationship between two entities

    such as relation classification, e.g. the [TACRED dataset](https://nlp.stanford.edu/projects/tacred/). This

    model places a linear head on top of the concatenated output representation of the pair of given entities.

  - [`LukeForEntitySpanClassification`], for tasks to classify the sequence of entity spans, such as

    named entity recognition (NER). This model places a linear head on top of the output entity representations. You

    can address NER using this model by inputting all possible entity spans in the text to the model.

  [`LukeTokenizer`] has a `task` argument, which enables you to easily create an input to these

  head models by specifying `task="entity_classification"`, `task="entity_pair_classification"`, or

  `task="entity_span_classification"`. Please refer to the example code of each head models.

Usage example:

thon

>>> from transformers import LukeTokenizer, LukeModel, LukeForEntityPairClassification

>>> model = LukeModel.from_pretrained("studio-ousia/luke-base")

>>> tokenizer = LukeTokenizer.from_pretrained("studio-ousia/luke-base")

# Example 1: Computing the contextualized entity representation corresponding to the entity mention "Beyoncé"

>>> text = "Beyoncé lives in Los Angeles."

>>> entity_spans = [(0, 7)]  # character-based entity span corresponding to "Beyoncé"

>>> inputs = tokenizer(text, entity_spans=entity_spans, add_prefix_space=True, return_tensors="pt")

>>> outputs = model(**inputs)

>>> word_last_hidden_state = outputs.last_hidden_state

>>> entity_last_hidden_state = outputs.entity_last_hidden_state

# Example 2: Inputting Wikipedia entities to obtain enriched contextualized representations

>>> entities = [

     "Beyoncé",

     "Los Angeles",

 ]  # Wikipedia entity titles corresponding to the entity mentions "Beyoncé" and "Los Angeles"

>>> entity_spans = [(0, 7), (17, 28)]  # character-based entity spans corresponding to "Beyoncé" and "Los Angeles"

>>> inputs = tokenizer(text, entities=entities, entity_spans=entity_spans, add_prefix_space=True, return_tensors="pt")

>>> outputs = model(**inputs)

>>> word_last_hidden_state = outputs.last_hidden_state

>>> entity_last_hidden_state = outputs.entity_last_hidden_state

# Example 3: Classifying the relationship between two entities using LukeForEntityPairClassification head model

>>> model = LukeForEntityPairClassification.from_pretrained("studio-ousia/luke-large-finetuned-tacred")

>>> tokenizer = LukeTokenizer.from_pretrained("studio-ousia/luke-large-finetuned-tacred")

>>> 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])
