Configuration

基类PretrainedConfig实现了从本地文件或目录加载/保存配置的常见方法，或下载库提供的预训练模型配置（从HuggingFace的AWS S3库中下载）。

每个派生的配置类都实现了特定于模型的属性。所有配置类中共同存在的属性有：hidden_size、num_attention_heads 和 num_hidden_layers。文本模型进一步添加了 vocab_size。

PretrainedConfig

class transformers.PretrainedConfig

( **kwargs )

Parameters

name_or_path (str, optional, defaults to "") — Store the string that was passed to PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained() or TFPreTrainedModel.from_pretrained() as pretrained_model_name_or_path if the configuration was created with such a method.
output_hidden_states (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not the model should return all hidden-states.
output_attentions (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not the model should returns all attentions.
return_dict (bool, optional, defaults to True) — Whether or not the model should return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.
is_encoder_decoder (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether the model is used as an encoder/decoder or not.
is_decoder (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether the model is used as decoder or not (in which case it’s used as an encoder).
cross_attention_hidden_size** (bool, optional) — The hidden size of the cross-attention layer in case the model is used as a decoder in an encoder-decoder setting and the cross-attention hidden dimension differs from self.config.hidden_size.
add_cross_attention (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether cross-attention layers should be added to the model. Note, this option is only relevant for models that can be used as decoder models within the EncoderDecoderModel class, which consists of all models in AUTO_MODELS_FOR_CAUSAL_LM.
tie_encoder_decoder (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether all encoder weights should be tied to their equivalent decoder weights. This requires the encoder and decoder model to have the exact same parameter names.
prune_heads (Dict[int, List[int]], optional, defaults to {}) — Pruned heads of the model. The keys are the selected layer indices and the associated values, the list of heads to prune in said layer.

For instance {1: [0, 2], 2: [2, 3]} will prune heads 0 and 2 on layer 1 and heads 2 and 3 on layer 2.
chunk_size_feed_forward (int, optional, defaults to 0) — The chunk size of all feed forward layers in the residual attention blocks. A chunk size of 0 means that the feed forward layer is not chunked. A chunk size of n means that the feed forward layer processes n < sequence_length embeddings at a time. For more information on feed forward chunking, see How does Feed Forward Chunking work?.

Parameters for sequence generation

max_length (int, optional, defaults to 20) — Maximum length that will be used by default in the generate method of the model.
min_length (int, optional, defaults to 0) — Minimum length that will be used by default in the generate method of the model.
do_sample (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Flag that will be used by default in the generate method of the model. Whether or not to use sampling ; use greedy decoding otherwise.
early_stopping (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Flag that will be used by default in the generate method of the model. Whether to stop the beam search when at least num_beams sentences are finished per batch or not.
num_beams (int, optional, defaults to 1) — Number of beams for beam search that will be used by default in the generate method of the model. 1 means no beam search.
num_beam_groups (int, optional, defaults to 1) — Number of groups to divide num_beams into in order to ensure diversity among different groups of beams that will be used by default in the generate method of the model. 1 means no group beam search.
diversity_penalty (float, optional, defaults to 0.0) — Value to control diversity for group beam search. that will be used by default in the generate method of the model. 0 means no diversity penalty. The higher the penalty, the more diverse are the outputs.

top_k (int, optional, defaults to 50) — Number of highest probability vocabulary tokens to keep for top-k-filtering that will be used by default in the generate method of the model.
top_p (float, optional, defaults to 1) — Value that will be used by default in the generate method of the model for top_p. If set to float < 1, only the most probable tokens with probabilities that add up to top_p or higher are kept for generation.
typical_p (float, optional, defaults to 1) — Local typicality measures how similar the conditional probability of predicting a target token next is to the expected conditional probability of predicting a random token next, given the partial text already generated. If set to float < 1, the smallest set of the most locally typical tokens with probabilities that add up to typical_p or higher are kept for generation. See this paper for more details.
repetition_penalty (float, optional, defaults to 1) — Parameter for repetition penalty that will be used by default in the generate method of the model. 1.0 means no penalty.
length_penalty (float, optional, defaults to 1) — Exponential penalty to the length that is used with beam-based generation. It is applied as an exponent to the sequence length, which in turn is used to divide the score of the sequence. Since the score is the log likelihood of the sequence (i.e. negative), length_penalty > 0.0 promotes longer sequences, while length_penalty < 0.0 encourages shorter sequences.
no_repeat_ngram_size (int, optional, defaults to 0) — Value that will be used by default in the — generate method of the model for no_repeat_ngram_size. If set to int > 0, all ngrams of that size can only occur once.
encoder_no_repeat_ngram_size (int, optional, defaults to 0) — Value that will be used by — default in the generate method of the model for encoder_no_repeat_ngram_size. If set to int > 0, all ngrams of that size that occur in the encoder_input_ids cannot occur in the decoder_input_ids.
bad_words_ids (List[int], optional) — List of token ids that are not allowed to be generated that will be used by default in the generate method of the model. In order to get the tokens of the words that should not appear in the generated text, use tokenizer.encode(bad_word, add_prefix_space=True).

forced_bos_token_id (int, optional) — The id of the token to force as the first generated token after the decoder_start_token_id. Useful for multilingual models like mBART where the first generated token needs to be the target language token.
forced_eos_token_id (int, optional) — The id of the token to force as the last generated token when max_length is reached.
remove_invalid_values (bool, optional) — Whether to remove possible nan and inf outputs of the model to prevent the generation method to crash. Note that using remove_invalid_values can slow down generation.

Parameters for fine-tuning tasks

architectures (List[str], optional) — Model architectures that can be used with the model pretrained weights.
finetuning_task (str, optional) — Name of the task used to fine-tune the model. This can be used when converting from an original (TensorFlow or PyTorch) checkpoint.

label2id (Dict[str, int], optional) — A map from label to index for the model.
num_labels (int, optional) — Number of labels to use in the last layer added to the model, typically for a classification task.
task_specific_params (Dict[str, Any], optional) — Additional keyword arguments to store for the current task.
problem_type (str, optional) — Problem type for XxxForSequenceClassification models. Can be one of "regression", "single_label_classification" or "multi_label_classification".

Parameters linked to the tokenizer

tokenizer_class (str, optional) — The name of the associated tokenizer class to use (if none is set, will use the tokenizer associated to the model by default).
prefix (str, optional) — A specific prompt that should be added at the beginning of each text before calling the model.
bos_token_id (int, optional) — The id of the beginning-of-stream token.
pad_token_id (int, optional) — The id of the padding token.
eos_token_id (int, optional) — The id of the end-of-stream token.
decoder_start_token_id (int, optional) — If an encoder-decoder model starts decoding with a different token than bos, the id of that token.
sep_token_id (int, optional) — The id of the separation token.

PyTorch specific parameters

torchscript (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not the model should be used with Torchscript.
tie_word_embeddings (bool, optional, defaults to True) — Whether the model’s input and output word embeddings should be tied. Note that this is only relevant if the model has a output word embedding layer.
torch_dtype (str, optional) — The dtype of the weights. This attribute can be used to initialize the model to a non-default dtype (which is normally float32) and thus allow for optimal storage allocation. For example, if the saved model is float16, ideally we want to load it back using the minimal amount of memory needed to load float16 weights. Since the config object is stored in plain text, this attribute contains just the floating type string without the torch. prefix. For example, for torch.float16 `torch_dtype is the "float16" string.

This attribute is currently not being used during model loading time, but this may change in the future versions. But we can already start preparing for the future by saving the dtype with save_pretrained.

TensorFlow specific parameters

use_bfloat16 (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not the model should use BFloat16 scalars (only used by some TensorFlow models).
tf_legacy_loss (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether the model should use legacy TensorFlow losses. Legacy losses have variable output shapes and may not be XLA-compatible. This option is here for backward compatibility and will be removed in Transformers v5.

Base class for all configuration classes. Handles a few parameters common to all models’ configurations as well as methods for loading/downloading/saving configurations.

A configuration file can be loaded and saved to disk. Loading the configuration file and using this file to initialize a model does not load the model weights. It only affects the model’s configuration.

Class attributes (overridden by derived classes):

model_type (str) — An identifier for the model type, serialized into the JSON file, and used to recreate the correct object in AutoConfig.
is_composition (bool) — Whether the config class is composed of multiple sub-configs. In this case the config has to be initialized from two or more configs of type PretrainedConfig like: EncoderDecoderConfig or ~RagConfig.
keys_to_ignore_at_inference (List[str]) — A list of keys to ignore by default when looking at dictionary outputs of the model during inference.
attribute_map (Dict[str, str]) — A dict that maps model specific attribute names to the standardized naming of attributes.

Common attributes (present in all subclasses):

vocab_size (int) — The number of tokens in the vocabulary, which is also the first dimension of the embeddings matrix (this attribute may be missing for models that don’t have a text modality like ViT).
hidden_size (int) — The hidden size of the model.
num_attention_heads (int) — The number of attention heads used in the multi-head attention layers of the model.
num_hidden_layers (int) — The number of blocks in the model.

Parameters

repo_id (str) — The name of the repository you want to push your config to. It should contain your organization name when pushing to a given organization.
use_temp_dir (bool, optional) — Whether or not to use a temporary directory to store the files saved before they are pushed to the Hub. Will default to True if there is no directory named like repo_id, False otherwise.

max_shard_size (int or str, optional, defaults to "5GB") — Only applicable for models. The maximum size for a checkpoint before being sharded. Checkpoints shard will then be each of size lower than this size. If expressed as a string, needs to be digits followed by a unit (like "5MB"). We default it to "5GB" so that users can easily load models on free-tier Google Colab instances without any CPU OOM issues.
create_pr (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not to create a PR with the uploaded files or directly commit.
safe_serialization (bool, optional, defaults to True) — Whether or not to convert the model weights in safetensors format for safer serialization.

kwargs (Dict[str, Any], optional) — The values in kwargs of any keys which are configuration attributes will be used to override the loaded values. Behavior concerning key/value pairs whose keys are not configuration attributes is controlled by the return_unused_kwargs keyword parameter.

Returns

PretrainedConfig
