Models

Overview

Retrieval-augmented generation (“RAG”) models combine the powers of pretrained dense retrieval (DPR) and sequence-to-sequence models. RAG models retrieve documents, pass them to a seq2seq model, then marginalize to generate outputs. The retriever and seq2seq modules are initialized from pretrained models, and fine-tuned jointly, allowing both retrieval and generation to adapt to downstream tasks.

It is based on the paper Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Knowledge-Intensive NLP Tasks by Patrick Lewis, Ethan Perez, Aleksandara Piktus, Fabio Petroni, Vladimir Karpukhin, Naman Goyal, Heinrich Küttler, Mike Lewis, Wen-tau Yih, Tim Rocktäschel, Sebastian Riedel, Douwe Kiela.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Large pre-trained language models have been shown to store factual knowledge in their parameters, and achieve state-of-the-art results when fine-tuned on downstream NLP tasks. However, their ability to access and precisely manipulate knowledge is still limited, and hence on knowledge-intensive tasks, their performance lags behind task-specific architectures. Additionally, providing provenance for their decisions and updating their world knowledge remain open research problems. Pre-trained models with a differentiable access mechanism to explicit nonparametric memory can overcome this issue, but have so far been only investigated for extractive downstream tasks. We explore a general-purpose fine-tuning recipe for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) — models which combine pre-trained parametric and non-parametric memory for language generation. We introduce RAG models where the parametric memory is a pre-trained seq2seq model and the non-parametric memory is a dense vector index of Wikipedia, accessed with a pre-trained neural retriever. We compare two RAG formulations, one which conditions on the same retrieved passages across the whole generated sequence, the other can use different passages per token. We fine-tune and evaluate our models on a wide range of knowledge-intensive NLP tasks and set the state-of-the-art on three open domain QA tasks, outperforming parametric seq2seq models and task-specific retrieve-and-extract architectures. For language generation tasks, we find that RAG models generate more specific, diverse and factual language than a state-of-the-art parametric-only seq2seq baseline.

Usage tips

Retrieval-augmented generation (“RAG”) models combine the powers of pretrained dense retrieval (DPR) and Seq2Seq models. RAG models retrieve docs, pass them to a seq2seq model, then marginalize to generate outputs. The retriever and seq2seq modules are initialized from pretrained models, and fine-tuned jointly, allowing both retrieval and generation to adapt to downstream tasks.

Parameters

  • config (RagConfig) — The configuration of the RAG model this Retriever is used with. Contains parameters indicating which Index to build. You can load your own custom dataset with config.index_name="custom" or use a canonical one (default) from the datasets library with config.index_name="wiki_dpr" for example.

RagModel

class transformers.RagModel

< >

( config: Optional = None question_encoder: Optional = None generator: Optional = None retriever: Optional = None **kwargs )

Parameters

  • config (RagConfig) — 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.
  • question_encoder (PreTrainedModel) — An encoder model compatible with the faiss index encapsulated by the retriever.
  • generator (PreTrainedModel) — A seq2seq model used as the generator in the RAG architecture.
  • retriever (RagRetriever) — A retriever class encapsulating a faiss index queried to obtain context documents for current inputs.

The RagModel forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

RAG is a seq2seq model which encapsulates two core components: a question encoder and a generator. During a forward pass, we encode the input with the question encoder and pass it to the retriever to extract relevant context documents. The documents are then prepended to the input. Such contextualized inputs is passed to the generator.

The question encoder can be any autoencoding model, preferably DPRQuestionEncoder, and the generator can be any seq2seq model, preferably BartForConditionalGeneration.

The model can be initialized with a RagRetriever for end-to-end generation or used in combination with the outputs of a retriever in multiple steps---see examples for more details. The model is compatible any autoencoding model as the question_encoder and any seq2seq model with language model head as the generator. It has been tested with DPRQuestionEncoder as the question_encoder and BartForConditionalGeneration or T5ForConditionalGeneration as the generator.

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.

The RagModel forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

Example:

>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, RagRetriever, RagModel
>>> import torch

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/rag-token-base")
>>> retriever = RagRetriever.from_pretrained(
...     "facebook/rag-token-base", index_name="exact", use_dummy_dataset=True
... )
>>> # initialize with RagRetriever to do everything in one forward call
>>> model = RagModel.from_pretrained("facebook/rag-token-base", retriever=retriever)

>>> inputs = tokenizer("How many people live in Paris?", return_tensors="pt")
>>> outputs = model(input_ids=inputs["input_ids"])

( config: Optional = None question_encoder: Optional = None generator: Optional = None retriever: Optional = None **kwargs )

Parameters

  • config (RagConfig) — 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.
  • question_encoder (PreTrainedModel) — An encoder model compatible with the faiss index encapsulated by the retriever.
  • generator (PreTrainedModel) — A seq2seq model used as the generator in the RAG architecture.
  • retriever (RagRetriever) — A retriever class encapsulating a faiss index queried to obtain context documents for current inputs.

The RagSequenceForGeneration forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

A RAG-sequence model implementation. It performs RAG-sequence specific marginalization in the forward pass.

RAG is a seq2seq model which encapsulates two core components: a question encoder and a generator. During a forward pass, we encode the input with the question encoder and pass it to the retriever to extract relevant context documents. The documents are then prepended to the input. Such contextualized inputs is passed to the generator.

The question encoder can be any autoencoding model, preferably DPRQuestionEncoder, and the generator can be any seq2seq model, preferably BartForConditionalGeneration.

The model can be initialized with a RagRetriever for end-to-end generation or used in combination with the outputs of a retriever in multiple steps---see examples for more details. The model is compatible any autoencoding model as the question_encoder and any seq2seq model with language model head as the generator. It has been tested with DPRQuestionEncoder as the question_encoder and BartForConditionalGeneration or T5ForConditionalGeneration as the generator.

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.

( config: Optional[PretrainedConfig] = None question_encoder: Optional[TFPreTrainedModel] = None generator: Optional[TFPreTrainedModel] = None retriever: Optional[RagRetriever] = None load_weight_prefix: Optional[str] = None **kwargs )

Parameters

  • config (RagConfig) — 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.
  • question_encoder (TFPreTrainedModel) — An encoder model compatible with the faiss index encapsulated by the retriever.
  • generator (TFPreTrainedModel) — A seq2seq model used as the generator in the RAG architecture.
  • retriever (RagRetriever) — A retriever class encapsulating a faiss index queried to obtain context documents for current inputs.

The TFRagModel forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

RAG is a sequence-to-sequence model which encapsulates two core components: a question encoder and a generator. During a forward pass, we encode the input with the question encoder and pass it to the retriever to extract relevant context documents. The documents are then prepended to the input. Such contextualized inputs is passed to the generator.

The question encoder can be any autoencoding model, preferably TFDPRQuestionEncoder, and the generator can be any seq2seq model, preferably TFBartForConditionalGeneration.

The model can be initialized with a RagRetriever for end-to-end generation or used in combination with the outputs of a retriever in multiple steps---see examples for more details. The model is compatible any autoencoding model as the question_encoder and any seq2seq model with language model head as the generator. It has been tested with TFDPRQuestionEncoder as the question_encoder and TFBartForConditionalGeneration as the generator.

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 Tensorflow 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.

The model is in a developing state as it is now fully supports in eager-mode only, and may not be exported in SavedModel format.

The model is compatible any autoencoding model as the question_encoder and any seq2seq model with language model head as the generator.

The TFRagSequenceForGeneration forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

TFRagTokenForGeneration

class transformers.TFRagTokenForGeneration

< >

( config: Optional[PretrainedConfig] = None question_encoder: Optional[TFPreTrainedModel] = None generator: Optional[TFPreTrainedModel] = None retriever: Optional[RagRetriever] = None **kwargs )

Parameters

  • config (RagConfig) — 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.
  • question_encoder (TFPreTrainedModel) — An encoder model compatible with the faiss index encapsulated by the retriever.
  • generator (TFPreTrainedModel) — A seq2seq model used as the generator in the RAG architecture.
  • retriever (RagRetriever) — A retriever class encapsulating a faiss index queried to obtain context documents for current inputs.

The TFRagTokenForGeneration forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

A TF RAG-token model implementation. It performs RAG-token specific marginalization in the forward pass.

RAG is a sequence-to-sequence model which encapsulates two core components: a question encoder and a generator. During a forward pass, we encode the input with the question encoder and pass it to the retriever to extract relevant context documents. The documents are then prepended to the input. Such contextualized inputs is passed to the generator.

The question encoder can be any autoencoding model, preferably TFDPRQuestionEncoder, and the generator can be any seq2seq model, preferably TFBartForConditionalGeneration.

The model can be initialized with a RagRetriever for end-to-end generation or used in combination with the outputs of a retriever in multiple steps---see examples for more details. The model is compatible any autoencoding model as the question_encoder and any seq2seq model with language model head as the generator. It has been tested with TFDPRQuestionEncoder as the question_encoder and TFBartForConditionalGeneration as the generator.

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 Tensorflow 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.

The model is in a developing state as it is now fully supports in eager-mode only, and may not be exported in SavedModel format.

  • logits_processor (TFLogitsProcessorList, optional) — Custom logits processors that complement the default logits processors built from arguments and a model’s config. If a logit processor is passed that is already created with the arguments or a model’s config an error is thrown.
  • kwargs (Dict[str, Any], optional) — Ad hoc parametrization of generate_config and/or additional model-specific kwargs that will be forwarded to the forward function of the model.

Returns

tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size * num_return_sequences, sequence_length)

The generated sequences. The second dimension (sequence_length) is either equal to max_length or shorter if all batches finished early due to the eos_token_id.

Implements TFRAG token decoding.
