Encoder Decoder Models

Overview

The EncoderDecoderModel can be used to initialize a sequence-to-sequence model with any pretrained autoencoding model as the encoder and any pretrained autoregressive model as the decoder.

The effectiveness of initializing sequence-to-sequence models with pretrained checkpoints for sequence generation tasks was shown in Leveraging Pre-trained Checkpoints for Sequence Generation Tasks by Sascha Rothe, Shashi Narayan, Aliaksei Severyn.

After such an EncoderDecoderModel has been trained/fine-tuned, it can be saved/loaded just like any other models (see the examples for more information).

An application of this architecture could be to leverage two pretrained BertModel as the encoder and decoder for a summarization model as was shown in: Text Summarization with Pretrained Encoders by Yang Liu and Mirella Lapata.

Randomly initializing EncoderDecoderModel from model configurations.

EncoderDecoderModel can be randomly initialized from an encoder and a decoder config. In the following example, we show how to do this using the default BertModel configuration for the encoder and the default BertForCausalLM configuration for the decoder.

>>> from transformers import BertConfig, EncoderDecoderConfig, EncoderDecoderModel

>>> config_encoder = BertConfig()
>>> config_decoder = BertConfig()

>>> config = EncoderDecoderConfig.from_encoder_decoder_configs(config_encoder, config_decoder)
>>> model = EncoderDecoderModel(config=config)

Initialising EncoderDecoderModel from a pretrained encoder and a pretrained decoder.

EncoderDecoderModel can be initialized from a pretrained encoder checkpoint and a pretrained decoder checkpoint. Note that any pretrained auto-encoding model, e.g. BERT, can serve as the encoder and both pretrained auto-encoding models, e.g. BERT, pretrained causal language models, e.g. GPT2, as well as the pretrained decoder part of sequence-to-sequence models, e.g. decoder of BART, can be used as the decoder. Depending on which architecture you choose as the decoder, the cross-attention layers might be randomly initialized. Initializing EncoderDecoderModel from a pretrained encoder and decoder checkpoint requires the model to be fine-tuned on a downstream task, as has been shown in the Warm-starting-encoder-decoder blog post. To do so, the EncoderDecoderModel class provides a EncoderDecoderModel.from_encoder_decoder_pretrained() method.

>>> from transformers import EncoderDecoderModel, BertTokenizer

>>> tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("google-bert/bert-base-uncased")
>>> model = EncoderDecoderModel.from_encoder_decoder_pretrained("google-bert/bert-base-uncased", "google-bert/bert-base-uncased")

Loading an existing EncoderDecoderModel checkpoint and perform inference.

To load fine-tuned checkpoints of the EncoderDecoderModel class, EncoderDecoderModel provides the from_pretrained(...) method just like any other model architecture in Transformers.

To perform inference, one uses the generate method, which allows to autoregressively generate text. This method supports various forms of decoding, such as greedy, beam search and multinomial sampling.

>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, EncoderDecoderModel

>>> # load a fine-tuned seq2seq model and corresponding tokenizer
>>> model = EncoderDecoderModel.from_pretrained("patrickvonplaten/bert2bert_cnn_daily_mail")
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("patrickvonplaten/bert2bert_cnn_daily_mail")

>>> # let's perform inference on a long piece of text
>>> ARTICLE_TO_SUMMARIZE = (
...     "PG&E stated it scheduled the blackouts in response to forecasts for high winds "
...     "amid dry conditions. The aim is to reduce the risk of wildfires. Nearly 800 thousand customers were "
...     "scheduled to be affected by the shutoffs which were expected to last through at least midday tomorrow."
... )
>>> input_ids = tokenizer(ARTICLE_TO_SUMMARIZE, return_tensors="pt").input_ids

>>> # autoregressively generate summary (uses greedy decoding by default)
>>> generated_ids = model.generate(input_ids)
>>> generated_text = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
>>> print(generated_text)
nearly 800 thousand customers were affected by the shutoffs. the aim is to reduce the risk of wildfires. nearly 800, 000 customers were expected to be affected by high winds amid dry conditions. pg & e said it scheduled the blackouts to last through at least midday tomorrow.

Loading a PyTorch checkpoint into TFEncoderDecoderModel .

TFEncoderDecoderModel.from_pretrained() currently doesn’t support initializing the model from a pytorch checkpoint. Passing from_pt=True to this method will throw an exception. If there are only pytorch checkpoints for a particular encoder-decoder model, a workaround is:

>>> # a workaround to load from pytorch checkpoint
>>> from transformers import EncoderDecoderModel, TFEncoderDecoderModel

>>> _model = EncoderDecoderModel.from_pretrained("patrickvonplaten/bert2bert-cnn_dailymail-fp16")

>>> _model.encoder.save_pretrained("./encoder")
>>> _model.decoder.save_pretrained("./decoder")

>>> model = TFEncoderDecoderModel.from_encoder_decoder_pretrained(
...     "./encoder", "./decoder", encoder_from_pt=True, decoder_from_pt=True
... )
>>> # This is only for copying some specific attributes of this particular model.
>>> model.config = _model.config

Training

Once the model is created, it can be fine-tuned similar to BART, T5 or any other encoder-decoder model. As you can see, only 2 inputs are required for the model in order to compute a loss: input_ids (which are the input_ids of the encoded input sequence) and labels (which are the input_ids of the encoded target sequence).

>>> from transformers import BertTokenizer, EncoderDecoderModel

>>> tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("google-bert/bert-base-uncased")
>>> model = EncoderDecoderModel.from_encoder_decoder_pretrained("google-bert/bert-base-uncased", "google-bert/bert-base-uncased")

>>> model.config.decoder_start_token_id = tokenizer.cls_token_id
>>> model.config.pad_token_id = tokenizer.pad_token_id

>>> input_ids = tokenizer(
...     "The tower is 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building, and the tallest structure in Paris. Its base is square, measuring 125 metres (410 ft) on each side.During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to become the tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years until the Chrysler Building in New York City was  finished in 1930. It was the first structure to reach a height of 300 metres. Due to the addition of a broadcasting aerial at the top of the tower in 1957, it is now taller than the Chrysler Building by 5.2 metres (17 ft).Excluding transmitters, the Eiffel Tower is the second tallest free-standing structure in France after the Millau Viaduct.",
...     return_tensors="pt",
... ).input_ids

>>> labels = tokenizer(
...     "the eiffel tower surpassed the washington monument to become the tallest structure in the world. it was the first structure to reach a height of 300 metres in paris in 1930. it is now taller than the chrysler building by 5. 2 metres ( 17 ft ) and is the second tallest free - standing structure in paris.",
...     return_tensors="pt",
... ).input_ids

>>> # the forward function automatically creates the correct decoder_input_ids
>>> loss = model(input_ids=input_ids, labels=labels).loss

EncoderDecoderModel

class transformers.EncoderDecoderModel

< source >

( config: typing.Optional[transformers.configuration_utils.PretrainedConfig] = None encoder: typing.Optional[transformers.modeling_utils.PreTrainedModel] = None decoder: typing.Optional[transformers.modeling_utils.PreTrainedModel] = None )

Parameters

config (EncoderDecoderConfig) — 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.

This class can be used to initialize a sequence-to-sequence model with any pretrained autoencoding model as the encoder and any pretrained autoregressive model as the decoder. The encoder is loaded via from_pretrained() function and the decoder is loaded via from_pretrained() function. Cross-attention layers are automatically added to the decoder and should be fine-tuned on a downstream generative task, like summarization.

After such an Encoder Decoder model has been trained/fine-tuned, it can be saved/loaded just like any other models (see the examples for more information).

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.

EncoderDecoderModel is a generic model class that will be instantiated as a transformer architecture with one of the base model classes of the library as encoder and another one as decoder when created with the :meth~transformers.AutoModel.from_pretrained class method for the encoder and :meth~transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained class method for the decoder.

Parameters

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

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

What are input IDs?
attention_mask (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

- 0 for tokens that are masked.
What are attention masks?
decoder_input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length), optional) — Indices of decoder input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

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

What are input IDs?

If past_key_values is used, optionally only the last decoder_input_ids have to be input (see past_key_values).

For training, decoder_input_ids are automatically created by the model by shifting the labels to the right, replacing -100 by the pad_token_id and prepending them with the decoder_start_token_id.
decoder_attention_mask (torch.BoolTensor of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length), optional) — Default behavior: generate a tensor that ignores pad tokens in decoder_input_ids. Causal mask will also be used by default.
encoder_outputs (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional) — This tuple must consist of (last_hidden_state, optional: hidden_states, optional: attentions) last_hidden_state (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)) is a tensor of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.
past_key_values (tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor)) of length config.n_layers with each tuple having 4 tensors of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length - 1, embed_size_per_head)) — Contains precomputed key and value hidden states of the attention blocks. Can be used to speed up decoding.

If past_key_values are used, the user can optionally input only the last decoder_input_ids (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape (batch_size, 1) instead of all decoder_input_ids of shape (batch_size, sequence_length).
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.

This is useful if you want more control over how to convert decoder_input_ids indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.
labels (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Labels for computing the masked language modeling loss for the decoder. Indices should be in [-100, 0, ..., config.vocab_size] (see input_ids docstring) Tokens with indices set to -100 are ignored (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels in [0, ..., config.vocab_size]
use_cache (bool, optional) — If set to True, past_key_values key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see past_key_values).
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) — If set to True, the model will return a ~utils.Seq2SeqLMOutput instead of a plain tuple.
kwargs (optional) — Remaining dictionary of keyword arguments. Keyword arguments come in two flavors:
- Without a prefix which will be input as **encoder_kwargs for the encoder forward function.
- With a decoder_ prefix which will be input as **decoder_kwargs for the decoder forward function.

The EncoderDecoderModel 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.

Parameters

encoder_pretrained_model_name_or_path (str, optional) — Information necessary to initiate the encoder. Can be either:
- A string, the model id of a pretrained model hosted inside a model repo on huggingface.co.
- A path to a directory containing model weights saved using save_pretrained(), e.g., ./my_model_directory/.
- A path or url to a tensorflow index checkpoint file (e.g, ./tf_model/model.ckpt.index). In this case, from_tf should be set to True and a configuration object should be provided as config argument. This loading path is slower than converting the TensorFlow checkpoint in a PyTorch model using the provided conversion scripts and loading the PyTorch model afterwards.
decoder_pretrained_model_name_or_path (str, optional, defaults to None) — Information necessary to initiate the decoder. Can be either:
- A string, the model id of a pretrained model hosted inside a model repo on huggingface.co.
- A path to a directory containing model weights saved using save_pretrained(), e.g., ./my_model_directory/.
- A path or url to a tensorflow index checkpoint file (e.g, ./tf_model/model.ckpt.index). In this case, from_tf should be set to True and a configuration object should be provided as config argument. This loading path is slower than converting the TensorFlow checkpoint in a PyTorch model using the provided conversion scripts and loading the PyTorch model afterwards.
model_args (remaining positional arguments, optional) — All remaining positional arguments will be passed to the underlying model’s __init__ method.
kwargs (remaining dictionary of keyword arguments, optional) — Can be used to update the configuration object (after it being loaded) and initiate the model (e.g., output_attentions=True).
- To update the encoder configuration, use the prefix encoder_ for each configuration parameter.
- To update the decoder configuration, use the prefix decoder_ for each configuration parameter.
- To update the parent model configuration, do not use a prefix for each configuration parameter.
Behaves differently depending on whether a config is provided or automatically loaded.

Instantiate an encoder and a decoder from one or two base classes of the library from pretrained model checkpoints.

The model is set in evaluation mode by default using model.eval() (Dropout modules are deactivated). To train the model, you need to first set it back in training mode with model.train().

Example:

>>> from transformers import EncoderDecoderModel

>>> # initialize a bert2bert from two pretrained BERT models. Note that the cross-attention layers will be randomly initialized
>>> model = EncoderDecoderModel.from_encoder_decoder_pretrained("google-bert/bert-base-uncased", "google-bert/bert-base-uncased")
>>> # saving model after fine-tuning
>>> model.save_pretrained("./bert2bert")
>>> # load fine-tuned model
>>> model = EncoderDecoderModel.from_pretrained("./bert2bert")

FlaxEncoderDecoderModel

class transformers.FlaxEncoderDecoderModel

< source >

( config: EncoderDecoderConfig input_shape: typing.Optional[typing.Tuple] = None seed: int = 0 dtype: dtype = <class 'jax.numpy.float32'> _do_init: bool = True **kwargs )

Parameters

config (EncoderDecoderConfig) — 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.
dtype (jax.numpy.dtype, optional, defaults to jax.numpy.float32) — The data type of the computation. Can be one of jax.numpy.float32, jax.numpy.float16 (on GPUs) and jax.numpy.bfloat16 (on TPUs).

This can be used to enable mixed-precision training or half-precision inference on GPUs or TPUs. If specified all the computation will be performed with the given dtype.

Note that this only specifies the dtype of the computation and does not influence the dtype of model parameters.

If you wish to change the dtype of the model parameters, see to_fp16() and to_bf16().

After such an Encoder Decoder model has been trained/fine-tuned, it can be saved/loaded just like any other models (see the examples for more information).

This model inherits from FlaxPreTrainedModel. 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 Flax Linen flax.nn.Module subclass. Use it as a regular Flax Module and refer to the Flax documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

FlaxEncoderDecoderModel is a generic model class that will be instantiated as a transformer architecture with the module (flax.nn.Module) of one of the base model classes of the library as encoder module and another one as decoder module when created with the :meth~transformers.FlaxAutoModel.from_pretrained class method for the encoder and :meth~transformers.FlaxAutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained class method for the decoder.

Parameters

input_ids (jnp.ndarray of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default should you provide it.

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

What are input IDs?
attention_mask (jnp.ndarray 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?
decoder_input_ids (jnp.ndarray of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length), optional) — Indices of decoder input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

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

What are decoder input IDs?

For sequence to sequence training, decoder_input_ids should be provided. decoder_input_ids should be created outside of the model by shifting the labels to the right, replacing -100 by the pad_token_id and prepending them with the decoder_start_token_id.
decoder_attention_mask (jnp.ndarray of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length), optional) — Default behavior: generate a tensor that ignores pad tokens in decoder_input_ids. Causal mask will also be used by default.
position_ids (numpy.ndarray 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.encoder.max_position_embeddings - 1].
decoder_position_ids (numpy.ndarray of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Indices of positions of each decoder input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range [0, config.decoder.max_position_embeddings - 1].
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) — If set to True, the model will return a ~utils.FlaxSeq2SeqLMOutput instead of a plain tuple.
