DeBERTa (1.4B) fixed version

This is deberta-v2-xxlarge updated to implement the AutoModelForCausalLM class, enabling it to generate text. This implementation is based on our paper "BERTs are Generative In-Context Learners".

This repository also fixes three bugs in the original HF implementation of DeBERTa:

We fixed the incorrect name of the output embedding weights in the checkpoint file;
We fixed the implementation of the enhanced mask decoder (EMD), based on the original GitHub repository;
We clamp the positional embeddings so that they work with long sequence lengths.

Example code

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("ltg/deberta-xxlarge-fixed", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("ltg/deberta-xxlarge-fixed", trust_remote_code=True).cuda().eval()

prompt = """German: Hallo, wie geht es Ihnen heute?
English:"""
prompt = prompt.replace('\n', '\\n ')
input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt", add_special_tokens=False).input_ids.cuda()

prediction = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    num_beams=4,
    do_sample=False,
    use_cache=None,
    max_new_tokens=64,
    eos_token_id=tokenizer(".\\", add_special_tokens=False).input_ids[1:]
)
prediction = prediction[0, input_ids.size(1):]
prediction = tokenizer.decode(prediction).rstrip('\\')

# Expected output: "Hello, how are you doing today?"
print(prediction)
