Splinter

Overview

The Splinter model was proposed in Few-Shot Question Answering by Pretraining Span Selection by Ori Ram, Yuval Kirstain, Jonathan Berant, Amir Globerson, Omer Levy. Splinter is an encoder-only transformer (similar to BERT) pretrained using the recurring span selection task on a large corpus comprising Wikipedia and the Toronto Book Corpus.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

In several question answering benchmarks, pretrained models have reached human parity through fine-tuning on an order of 100,000 annotated questions and answers. We explore the more realistic few-shot setting, where only a few hundred training examples are available, and observe that standard models perform poorly, highlighting the discrepancy between current pretraining objectives and question answering. We propose a new pretraining scheme tailored for question answering: recurring span selection. Given a passage with multiple sets of recurring spans, we mask in each set all recurring spans but one, and ask the model to select the correct span in the passage for each masked span. Masked spans are replaced with a special token, viewed as a question representation, that is later used during fine-tuning to select the answer span. The resulting model obtains surprisingly good results on multiple benchmarks (e.g., 72.7 F1 on SQuAD with only 128 training examples), while maintaining competitive performance in the high-resource setting.

This model was contributed by yuvalkirstain and oriram. The original code can be found here.

Usage tips

  • Splinter was trained to predict answers spans conditioned on a special [QUESTION] token. These tokens contextualize to question representations which are used to predict the answers. This layer is called QASS, and is the default behaviour in the SplinterForQuestionAnswering class. Therefore:
  • Use SplinterTokenizer (rather than BertTokenizer), as it already contains this special token. Also, its default behavior is to use this token when two sequences are given (for example, in the run_qa.py script).
  • If you plan on using Splinter outside run_qa.py, please keep in mind the question token - it might be important for the success of your model, especially in a few-shot setting.
  • Please note there are two different checkpoints for each size of Splinter. Both are basically the same, except that one also has the pretrained weights of the QASS layer (tau/splinter-base-qass and tau/splinter-large-qass) and one doesn’t (tau/splinter-base and tau/splinter-large). This is done to support randomly initializing this layer at fine-tuning, as it is shown to yield better results for some cases in the paper.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a SplinterModel. It is used to instantiate an Splinter 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 Splinter tau/splinter-base architecture.

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

Example:

>>> from transformers import SplinterModel, SplinterConfig

>>> # Initializing a Splinter tau/splinter-base style configuration
>>> configuration = SplinterConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model from the tau/splinter-base style configuration
>>> model = SplinterModel(configuration)

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

    • 0 corresponds to a sentence A token,
    • 1 corresponds to a sentence B token.

    What are token type IDs?

  • position_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape batch_size, num_questions, 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?

  • head_mask (torch.FloatTensor 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 (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, num_questions, 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.
  • return_dict (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.
  • start_positions (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, num_questions), optional) — Labels for position (index) of the start of the labelled span for computing the token classification loss. Positions are clamped to the length of the sequence (sequence_length). Position outside of the sequence are not taken into account for computing the loss.
  • end_positions (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, num_questions), optional) — Labels for position (index) of the end of the labelled span for computing the token classification loss. Positions are clamped to the length of the sequence (sequence_length). Position outside of the sequence are not taken into account for computing the loss.
  • question_positions (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, num_questions), optional) — The positions of all question tokens. If given, start_logits and end_logits will be of shape (batch_size, num_questions, sequence_length). If None, the first question token in each sequence in the batch will be the only one for which start_logits and end_logits are calculated and they will be of shape (batch_size, sequence_length).

The SplinterForPreTraining 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.
