This repository contains Deepmind's Gato architecture imitation in TensorFlow.

Since Deepmind only mentions parts of the architecture in its paper, We still don't know much about the model.<br>
However, I believe the paper is enough to imitate the architecture, I'm trying to do that with the open source community's help.

Currently, the repository supports the following operations:
- Gato (via [`Gato`](https://github.com/OrigamiDream/gato/blob/main/gato/models/__init__.py#L12))
- Transformer (via [`Transformer`](https://github.com/OrigamiDream/gato/blob/main/gato/models/__init__.py#L61))
- Patch Position Encodings (via [`PatchPositionEncoding`](https://github.com/OrigamiDream/gato/blob/main/gato/models/embedding.py#L38))
- Embedding Function (via [`ResidualEmbedding`](https://github.com/OrigamiDream/gato/blob/main/gato/models/embedding.py#L139))
- Local Observation Position Encodings (via [`LocalPositionEncoding`](https://github.com/OrigamiDream/gato/blob/main/gato/models/embedding.py#L199))
- Tokenizing Continuous Values (via [`ContinuousValueTokenizer`](https://github.com/OrigamiDream/gato/blob/main/gato/models/tokenizers.py#L30))
- Shared Embedding (via [`DiscreteEmbedding`](https://github.com/OrigamiDream/gato/blob/main/gato/models/embedding.py#L237))

Action tokens are still a mystery in the paper, I need your help.

However, the repository lacks the following miscellaneous.
- Datasets (most important, Issue: [#1](https://github.com/OrigamiDream/gato/issues/1), [ThomasRochefortB/torch-gato](https://github.com/ThomasRochefortB/torch-gato/blob/main/datasets/README.md))
- 
Pre-trained tokenizers
 (No longer required because of E2E model)
- Training strategy (E2E, WIP)

But, you can still explore the basic architecture of the Gato based on the paper.

### Usage
```bash
$ pip install gato-tf
```
```python
import tensorflow as tf
from gato import Gato, GatoConfig

# Create model instance
config = GatoConfig.small()
gato = Gato(config)

# Fake inputs for Gato
input_dim = config.input_dim
input_ids = tf.concat([
  # ...
  # observation 1
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 0
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 1
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 2
  # ...
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 19
  tf.fill((1, 1, input_dim), value=0.25),  # continuous value
  tf.fill((1, 1, input_dim), value=624.0),  # discrete (actions, texts)

  # observation 2
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 0
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 1
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 2
  # ...
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 19
  tf.fill((1, 1, input_dim), value=0.12),  # continuous value
  tf.fill((1, 1, input_dim), value=295.0)  # discrete (actions, texts)
  # ...
], axis=1)
encoding = tf.constant([
  # 0 - image patch embedding
  # 1 - continuous value embedding
  # 2 - discrete embedding (actions, texts)
  [0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2]
])
row_pos = (
  tf.constant([[0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 0, 0, 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 0, 0]]),  # pos_from
  tf.constant([[0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 0, 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 0, 0]])   # pos_to
)
col_pos = (
  tf.constant([[0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.80, 0, 0, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.80, 0, 0]]),  # pos_from
  tf.constant([[0.20, 0.20, 0.20, 1.00, 0, 0, 0.20, 0.20, 0.20, 1.00, 0, 0]])   # pos_to
)
obs = (
  tf.constant([[ 0,  1,  2, 19, 20, 21,  0,  1,  2, 19, 20, 21]]),  # obs token
  tf.constant([[ 1,  1,  1,  1,  1,  0,  1,  1,  1,  1,  1,  0]])   # obs token masking (for action tokens)
)
hidden_states = gato((input_ids, (encoding, row_pos, col_pos), obs))
```

### Architecture Variants

> Appendix C.1. Transformer Hyperparameters

In the paper, Deepmind tested Gato with 3 architecture variants, `1.18B`, `364M`, and `79M`.<br>
I have named them as `large()`, `baseline()` and `small()` respectively in `GatoConfig`.

| Hyperparameters          | Large(1.18B) | Baseline(364M) | Small(79M) |
|--------------------------|--------------|----------------|------------|
| Transformer blocks       | 24           | 12             | 8          |
| Attention heads          | 16           | 12             | 24         |
| Layer width              | 2048         | 1536           | 768        |
| Feedforward hidden size  | 8192         | 6144           | 3072       |
| Key/value size           | 128          | 128            | 32         |


### Residual Embedding

> Appendix C.2. Embedding Function

There are no mentions that how many residual networks must be stacked for token embeddings.<br>
Therefore, I remain configurable in `GatoConfig`.

Whatever how many residual layers are existing, full-preactivation is a key.

The blocks are consisted of:
- Version 2 ResNet architecture (based on ResNet50V2)
- GroupNorm (instead of LayerNorm)
- GeLU (instead of ReLU)

### Position Encodings

> Appendix C.3. Position Encodings

#### Patch Position Encodings

Like [Vision Transformer (ViT)](https://github.com/google-research/vision_transformer) by Google, Gato takes the input images as raster-ordered 16x16 patches.<br>
Unlike the Vision Transformer model, however, Gato divides its patch encoding strategy into 2 phases, training and evaluation.

For high-performance computation in TensorFlow, I have used the following expressions.

$C$ and $R$ mean column and row-wise, and $F$ and $T$ mean `from` and `to` respectively.

$$
\begin{align}
  v^R_F &= \begin{bmatrix}
    0 & 32 & 64 & 96
  \end{bmatrix} \\
  v^R_T &= \begin{bmatrix}
    32 & 64 & 96 & 128
  \end{bmatrix} \\
  v^C_F &= \begin{bmatrix}
    0 & 26 & 51 & 77 & 102
  \end{bmatrix} \\
  v^C_T &= \begin{bmatrix}
    26 & 51 & 77 & 102 & 128
  \end{bmatrix} \\
  \\
  P_R &= \begin{cases}
    \mathsf{if} \ \mathsf{training} & v^R_F + \mathsf{uniform}(v^R_T - v^R_F) \\
    \mathsf{otherwise} & \mathsf{round}(\frac{v^R_F + v^R_T}{2})
  \end{cases} \\
  P_C &= \begin{cases}
    \mathsf{if} \ \mathsf{training} & v^C_F + \mathsf{uniform}(v^C_T - v^C_F) \\
    \mathsf{otherwise} & \mathsf{round}(\frac{v^C_F + v^C_T}{2})
  \end{cases} \\
  \\
  E^R_P &= P_R \cdot 1^{\mathsf{T}}_C \\
  E^C_P &= 1^{\mathsf{T}}_R \cdot P_C \\
  \\
  \therefore E &= E_I + E^R_P + E^C_P
\end{align}
$$

#### Local Observation Position Encodings

In the definition of Appendix B., text tokens, image patch tokens, and discrete & continuous values are observation tokens<br>
When Gato receives those values, they must be encoded with their own (local) time steps.

## Requirements

```bash
pip install tensorflow>=2.11.0
```
