Longformer

DISCLAIMER: This model is still a work in progress, if you see something strange, file a Github Issue.

Overview

The Longformer model was presented in Longformer: The Long-Document Transformer by Iz Beltagy, Matthew E. Peters, Arman Cohan.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Transformer-based models are unable to process long sequences due to their self-attention operation, which scales quadratically with the sequence length. To address this limitation, we introduce the Longformer with an attention mechanism that scales linearly with sequence length, making it easy to process documents of thousands of tokens or longer. Longformer’s attention mechanism is a drop-in replacement for the standard self-attention and combines a local windowed attention with a task motivated global attention. Following prior work on long-sequence transformers, we evaluate Longformer on character-level language modeling and achieve state-of-the-art results on text8 and enwik8. In contrast to most prior work, we also pretrain Longformer and finetune it on a variety of downstream tasks. Our pretrained Longformer consistently outperforms RoBERTa on long document tasks and sets new state-of-the-art results on WikiHop and TriviaQA.

Tips:

Since the Longformer is based on RoBERTa, it doesn’t have token_type_ids. You don’t need to indicate which token belongs to which segment. Just separate your segments with the separation token tokenizer.sep_token (or </s>).

This model was contributed by beltagy. The Authors’ code can be found here.

Longformer Self Attention

Longformer self attention employs self attention on both a “local” context and a “global” context. Most tokens only attend “locally” to each other meaning that each token attends to its $\frac{1}{2} w$ previous tokens and $\frac{1}{2} w$ succeding tokens with $w$ being the window length as defined in config.attention_window. Note that config.attention_window can be of type List to define a different $w$ for each layer. A selected few tokens attend “globally” to all other tokens, as it is conventionally done for all tokens in BertSelfAttention.

Note that “locally” and “globally” attending tokens are projected by different query, key and value matrices. Also note that every “locally” attending token not only attends to tokens within its window $w$ , but also to all “globally” attending tokens so that global attention is symmetric.

The user can define which tokens attend “locally” and which tokens attend “globally” by setting the tensor global_attention_mask at run-time appropriately. All Longformer models employ the following logic for global_attention_mask:

0: the token attends “locally”,
1: the token attends “globally”.

For more information please also refer to forward() method.

Using Longformer self attention, the memory and time complexity of the query-key matmul operation, which usually represents the memory and time bottleneck, can be reduced from $\mathcal{O}(n_s \times n_s)$ to $\mathcal{O}(n_s \times w)$ , with $n_s$ being the sequence length and $w$ being the average window size. It is assumed that the number of “globally” attending tokens is insignificant as compared to the number of “locally” attending tokens.

For more information, please refer to the official paper.

Training

LongformerForMaskedLM is trained the exact same way RobertaForMaskedLM is trained and should be used as follows:

input_ids = tokenizer.encode('This is a sentence from [MASK] training data', return_tensors='pt')
mlm_labels = tokenizer.encode('This is a sentence from the training data', return_tensors='pt')

loss = model(input_ids, labels=input_ids, masked_lm_labels=mlm_labels)[0]

LongformerConfig

class transformers.LongformerConfig < source >

( attention_window: typing.Union[typing.List[int], int] = 512 sep_token_id: int = 2 **kwargs )

Parameters

attention_window (int or List[int], optional, defaults to 512) — Size of an attention window around each token. If an int, use the same size for all layers. To specify a different window size for each layer, use a List[int] where len(attention_window) == num_hidden_layers.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a LongformerModel or a TFLongformerModel. It is used to instantiate a Longformer model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a LongformerModel. It is used to instantiate an Longformer model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the RoBERTa roberta-base architecture with a sequence length 4,096.

The LongformerConfig class directly inherits RobertaConfig. It reuses the same defaults. Please check the parent class for more information.

Example:

>>> from transformers import LongformerConfig, LongformerModel

>>> # Initializing a Longformer configuration
>>> configuration = LongformerConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model from the configuration
>>> model = LongformerModel(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

LongformerModel

class transformers.LongformerModel < source >

( config add_pooling_layer = True )

Parameters

config (LongformerConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

The bare Longformer Model outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top.

This model inherits from PreTrainedModel. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

This class copied code from RobertaModel and overwrote standard self-attention with longformer self-attention to provide the ability to process long sequences following the self-attention approach described in Longformer: the Long-Document Transformer by Iz Beltagy, Matthew E. Peters, and Arman Cohan. Longformer self-attention combines a local (sliding window) and global attention to extend to long documents without the O(n^2) increase in memory and compute.

The self-attention module LongformerSelfAttention implemented here supports the combination of local and global attention but it lacks support for autoregressive attention and dilated attention. Autoregressive and dilated attention are more relevant for autoregressive language modeling than finetuning on downstream tasks. Future release will add support for autoregressive attention, but the support for dilated attention requires a custom CUDA kernel to be memory and compute efficient.

Parameters

input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

Indices can be obtained using LongformerTokenizer. See transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

What are input IDs?

- 1 for tokens that are not masked,
- 0 for tokens that are masked.
What are attention masks?
global_attention_mask (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to decide the attention given on each token, local attention or global attention. Tokens with global attention attends to all other tokens, and all other tokens attend to them. This is important for task-specific finetuning because it makes the model more flexible at representing the task. For example, for classification, the ~~token should be given global attention. For QA, all question tokens should also have global attention. Please refer to the Longformer paper for more details. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:~~
- 0 for local attention (a sliding window attention),
- 1 for global attention (tokens that attend to all other tokens, and all other tokens attend to them).
head_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (num_layers, num_heads), optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the attention modules in the encoder. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:
- 1 indicates the head is not masked,
- 0 indicates the head is masked.

- 1 indicates the head is not masked,
- 0 indicates the head is masked.
token_type_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Segment token indices to indicate first and second portions of the inputs. Indices are selected in [0, 1]:

What are position IDs?
inputs_embeds (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) — Optionally, instead of passing input_ids you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This is useful if you want more control over how to convert input_ids indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.
output_attentions (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See attentions under returned tensors for more detail.
output_hidden_states (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See hidden_states under returned tensors for more detail.

Local attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads. Those are the attention weights from every token in the sequence to every token with global attention (first x values) and to every token in the attention window (remaining attention_window + 1 values).

TFLongformerModel

class transformers.TFLongformerModel < source >

( *args **kwargs )

Parameters

config (LongformerConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

The bare Longformer Model outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top.

This model inherits from TFPreTrainedModel. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a tf.keras.Model subclass. Use it as a regular TF 2.0 Keras Model and refer to the TF 2.0 documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

TF 2.0 models accepts two formats as inputs:

having all inputs as keyword arguments (like PyTorch models), or
having all inputs as a list, tuple or dict in the first positional arguments.

This second option is useful when using tf.keras.Model.fit method which currently requires having all the tensors in the first argument of the model call function: model(inputs).

If you choose this second option, there are three possibilities you can use to gather all the input Tensors in the first positional argument :

a single Tensor with input_ids only and nothing else: model(inputs_ids)
a list of varying length with one or several input Tensors IN THE ORDER given in the docstring: model([input_ids, attention_mask]) or model([input_ids, attention_mask, token_type_ids])
a dictionary with one or several input Tensors associated to the input names given in the docstring: model({"input_ids": input_ids, "token_type_ids": token_type_ids})

This class copies code from TFRobertaModel and overwrites standard self-attention with longformer self-attention to provide the ability to process long sequences following the self-attention approach described in Longformer: the Long-Document Transformer by Iz Beltagy, Matthew E. Peters, and Arman Cohan. Longformer self-attention combines a local (sliding window) and global attention to extend to long documents without the O(n^2) increase in memory and compute.

The self-attention module TFLongformerSelfAttention implemented here supports the combination of local and global attention but it lacks support for autoregressive attention and dilated attention. Autoregressive and dilated attention are more relevant for autoregressive language modeling than finetuning on downstream tasks. Future release will add support for autoregressive attention, but the support for dilated attention requires a custom CUDA kernel to be memory and compute efficient.

Parameters

input_ids (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

Indices can be obtained using LongformerTokenizer. See transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.call() and transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() for details.

What are input IDs?
attention_mask (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:
- 1 for tokens that are not masked,
- 0 for tokens that are masked.
What are attention masks?
head_mask (tf.Tensor of shape (encoder_layers, encoder_attention_heads), optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the attention modules. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:
- 1 indicates the head is not masked,
- 0 indicates the head is masked.
global_attention_mask (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to decide the attention given on each token, local attention or global attention. Tokens with global attention attends to all other tokens, and all other tokens attend to them. This is important for task-specific finetuning because it makes the model more flexible at representing the task. For example, for classification, the ~~token should be given global attention. For QA, all question tokens should also have global attention. Please refer to the Longformer paper for more details. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:~~
- 0 for local attention (a sliding window attention),
- 1 for global attention (tokens that attend to all other tokens, and all other tokens attend to them).
token_type_ids (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Segment token indices to indicate first and second portions of the inputs. Indices are selected in [0, 1]:

inputs_embeds (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) — Optionally, instead of passing input_ids you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This is useful if you want more control over how to convert input_ids indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.
output_attentions (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See attentions under returned tensors for more detail. This argument can be used only in eager mode, in graph mode the value in the config will be used instead.

This second option is useful when using tf.keras.Model.fit method which currently requires having all the tensors in the first argument of the model call function: model(inputs).

If you choose this second option, there are three possibilities you can use to gather all the input Tensors in the first positional argument :

a single Tensor with input_ids only and nothing else: model(inputs_ids)
a list of varying length with one or several input Tensors IN THE ORDER given in the docstring: model([input_ids, attention_mask]) or model([input_ids, attention_mask, token_type_ids])
a dictionary with one or several input Tensors associated to the input names given in the docstring: model({"input_ids": input_ids, "token_type_ids": token_type_ids})

Parameters

input_ids (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

Indices can be obtained using LongformerTokenizer. See transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.call() and transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() for details.

What are input IDs?
attention_mask (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:
- 1 for tokens that are not masked,
- 0 for tokens that are masked.
What are attention masks?
head_mask (tf.Tensor of shape (encoder_layers, encoder_attention_heads), optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the attention modules. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:
- 1 indicates the head is not masked,
- 0 indicates the head is masked.
global_attention_mask (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to decide the attention given on each token, local attention or global attention. Tokens with global attention attends to all other tokens, and all other tokens attend to them. This is important for task-specific finetuning because it makes the model more flexible at representing the task. For example, for classification, the ~~token should be given global attention. For QA, all question tokens should also have global attention. Please refer to the Longformer paper for more details. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:~~
- 0 for local attention (a sliding window attention),
- 1 for global attention (tokens that attend to all other tokens, and all other tokens attend to them).
token_type_ids (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Segment token indices to indicate first and second portions of the inputs. Indices are selected in [0, 1]:
- 0 corresponds to a sentence A token,
- 1 corresponds to a sentence B token.
What are token type IDs?
position_ids (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range [0, config.max_position_embeddings - 1].

What are position IDs?
inputs_embeds (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) — Optionally, instead of passing input_ids you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This is useful if you want more control over how to convert input_ids indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.
output_attentions (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See attentions under returned tensors for more detail. This argument can be used only in eager mode, in graph mode the value in the config will be used instead.
output_hidden_states (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See hidden_states under returned tensors for more detail. This argument can be used only in eager mode, in graph mode the value in the config will be used instead.
return_dict (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple. This argument can be used in eager mode, in graph mode the value will always be set to True.
training (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not to use the model in training mode (some modules like dropout modules have different behaviors between training and evaluation).
labels (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Labels for computing the token classification loss. Indices should be in [0, ..., config.num_labels - 1].

Returns

TFLongformerTokenClassifierOutput or tuple(tf.Tensor)

A TFLongformerTokenClassifierOutput or a tuple of tf.Tensor (if return_dict=False is passed or when config.return_dict=False) comprising various elements depending on the configuration (LongformerConfig) and inputs.

loss (tf.Tensor of shape (1,), optional, returned when labels is provided) — Classification loss.
logits (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, config.num_labels)) — Classification scores (before SoftMax).
hidden_states (tuple(tf.Tensor), optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) — Tuple of tf.Tensor (one for the output of the embeddings + one for the output of each layer) of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size).

Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the initial embedding outputs.

Local attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads. Those are the attention weights from every token in the sequence to every token with global attention (first x values) and to every token in the attention window (remaining attention_window + 1 values). Note that the first x values refer to tokens with fixed positions in the text, but the remaining attention_window + 1 values refer to tokens with relative positions: the attention weight of a token to itself is located at index x + attention_window / 2 and the attention_window / 2 preceding (succeeding) values are the attention weights to the attention_window / 2 preceding (succeeding) tokens. If the attention window contains a token with global attention, the attention weight at the corresponding index is set to 0; the value should be accessed from the first x attention weights. If a token has global attention, the attention weights to all other tokens in attentions is set to 0, the values should be accessed from global_attentions.
global_attentions (tuple(tf.Tensor), optional, returned when output_attentions=True is passed or when config.output_attentions=True) — Tuple of tf.Tensor (one for each layer) of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, x), where x is the number of tokens with global attention mask.

Global attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads. Those are the attention weights from every token with global attention to every token in the sequence.

( *args **kwargs )

Parameters

config (LongformerConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

Longformer Model with a multiple choice classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the pooled output and a softmax) e.g. for RocStories/SWAG tasks.

This model is also a tf.keras.Model subclass. Use it as a regular TF 2.0 Keras Model and refer to the TF 2.0 documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

having all inputs as keyword arguments (like PyTorch models), or
having all inputs as a list, tuple or dict in the first positional arguments.

This second option is useful when using tf.keras.Model.fit method which currently requires having all the tensors in the first argument of the model call function: model(inputs).
