XLNet

Overview

The XLNet model was proposed in XLNet: Generalized Autoregressive Pretraining for Language Understanding by Zhilin Yang, Zihang Dai, Yiming Yang, Jaime Carbonell, Ruslan Salakhutdinov, Quoc V. Le. XLnet is an extension of the Transformer-XL model pre-trained using an autoregressive method to learn bidirectional contexts by maximizing the expected likelihood over all permutations of the input sequence factorization order.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

With the capability of modeling bidirectional contexts, denoising autoencoding based pretraining like BERT achieves better performance than pretraining approaches based on autoregressive language modeling. However, relying on corrupting the input with masks, BERT neglects dependency between the masked positions and suffers from a pretrain-finetune discrepancy. In light of these pros and cons, we propose XLNet, a generalized autoregressive pretraining method that (1) enables learning bidirectional contexts by maximizing the expected likelihood over all permutations of the factorization order and (2) overcomes the limitations of BERT thanks to its autoregressive formulation. Furthermore, XLNet integrates ideas from Transformer-XL, the state-of-the-art autoregressive model, into pretraining. Empirically, under comparable experiment settings, XLNet outperforms BERT on 20 tasks, often by a large margin, including question answering, natural language inference, sentiment analysis, and document ranking.

Tips:

The specific attention pattern can be controlled at training and test time using the perm_mask input.
Due to the difficulty of training a fully auto-regressive model over various factorization order, XLNet is pretrained using only a sub-set of the output tokens as target which are selected with the target_mapping input.
To use XLNet for sequential decoding (i.e. not in fully bi-directional setting), use the perm_mask and target_mapping inputs to control the attention span and outputs (see examples in examples/pytorch/text-generation/run_generation.py)
XLNet is one of the few models that has no sequence length limit.

This model was contributed by thomwolf. The original code can be found here.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a XLNetModel or a TFXLNetModel. It is used to instantiate a XLNet 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 xlnet-large-cased architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

Examples:

>>> from transformers import XLNetConfig, XLNetModel

>>> # Initializing a XLNet configuration
>>> configuration = XLNetConfig()

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

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

class transformers.TFXLNetModel < source >

Parameters

config (XLNetConfig) — 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 XLNet Model transformer 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})

TFXLNetForTokenClassification

class transformers.TFXLNetForTokenClassification < source >

( *args **kwargs )

Parameters

config (XLNetConfig) — 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.

XLNet Model with a token classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the hidden-states output) e.g. for Named-Entity-Recognition (NER) 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.

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})

Parameters

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

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

What are input IDs?
attention_mask (Numpy array or 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?
mems (List[torch.FloatTensor] of length config.n_layers) — Contains pre-computed hidden-states (see mems output below) . Can be used to speed up sequential decoding. The token ids which have their past given to this model should not be passed as input_ids as they have already been computed.

:obj:use_mems has to be set to True to make use of mems.
perm_mask (tf.Tensor or Numpy array of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to indicate the attention pattern for each input token with values selected in [0, 1]:
- if perm_mask[k, i, j] = 0, i attend to j in batch k;
- if perm_mask[k, i, j] = 1, i does not attend to j in batch k.
If not set, each token attends to all the others (full bidirectional attention). Only used during pretraining (to define factorization order) or for sequential decoding (generation).
target_mapping (tf.Tensor or Numpy array of shape (batch_size, num_predict, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to indicate the output tokens to use. If target_mapping[k, i, j] = 1, the i-th predict in batch k is on the j-th token.
token_type_ids (Numpy array or 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?
input_mask (tf.Tensor or Numpy array of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Negative of attention_mask, i.e. with 0 for real tokens and 1 for padding which is kept for compatibility with the original code base.

Mask values selected in [0, 1]:
- 1 for tokens that are masked,
- 0 for tokens that are not masked.
You can only uses one of input_mask and attention_mask.
head_mask (Numpy array or tf.Tensor of shape (num_heads,) or (num_layers, num_heads), optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the self-attention modules. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:
- 1 indicates the head is not masked,
- 0 indicates the head is masked.
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

TFXLNetForTokenClassificationOutput or tuple(tf.Tensor)

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).
mems (List[tf.Tensor] of length config.n_layers) — Contains pre-computed hidden-states. Can be used (see mems input) to speed up sequential decoding. The token ids which have their past given to this model should not be passed as input_ids as they have already been computed.
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.
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, sequence_length).
