Fairseq(-py) is a sequence modeling toolkit that allows researchers and
developers to train custom models for translation, summarization, language
modeling and other text generation tasks.
We provide reference implementations of various sequence modeling papers:

### Features:
* multi-GPU training on one machine or across multiple machines (data and model parallel)
* fast generation on both CPU and GPU with multiple search algorithms implemented:
+ beam search
+ Diverse Beam Search ([Vijayakumar et al., 2016](https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.02424))
+ sampling (unconstrained, top-k and top-p/nucleus)
+ [lexically constrained decoding](examples/constrained_decoding/README.md) (Post & Vilar, 2018)
* [gradient accumulation](https://fairseq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#large-mini-batch-training-with-delayed-updates) enables training with large mini-batches even on a single GPU
* [mixed precision training](https://fairseq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#training-with-half-precision-floating-point-fp16) (trains faster with less GPU memory on [NVIDIA tensor cores](https://developer.nvidia.com/tensor-cores))
* [extensible](https://fairseq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.html): easily register new models, criterions, tasks, optimizers and learning rate schedulers
* [flexible configuration](docs/hydra_integration.md) based on [Hydra](https://github.com/facebookresearch/hydra) allowing a combination of code, command-line and file based configuration
* [full parameter and optimizer state sharding](examples/fully_sharded_data_parallel/README.md)
* [offloading parameters to CPU](examples/fully_sharded_data_parallel/README.md)
We also provide [pre-trained models for translation and language modeling](#pre-trained-models-and-examples)
with a convenient `torch.hub` interface:
``` python
en2de = torch.hub.load('pytorch/fairseq', 'transformer.wmt19.en-de.single_model')
en2de.translate('Hello world', beam=5)
# 'Hallo Welt'
```
See the PyTorch Hub tutorials for [translation](https://pytorch.org/hub/pytorch_fairseq_translation/)
and [RoBERTa](https://pytorch.org/hub/pytorch_fairseq_roberta/) for more examples.
# Requirements and Installation
* [PyTorch](http://pytorch.org/) version >= 1.5.0
* Python version >= 3.6
* For training new models, you'll also need an NVIDIA GPU and [NCCL](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nccl)
* **To install fairseq** and develop locally:
``` bash
git clone https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq
cd fairseq
pip install --editable ./
# on MacOS:
# CFLAGS="-stdlib=libc++" pip install --editable ./
# to install the latest stable release (0.10.x)
# pip install fairseq
```
* **For faster training** install NVIDIA's [apex](https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex) library:
``` bash
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex
cd apex
pip install -v --no-cache-dir --global-option="--cpp_ext" --global-option="--cuda_ext" \
--global-option="--deprecated_fused_adam" --global-option="--xentropy" \
--global-option="--fast_multihead_attn" ./
```
* **For large datasets** install [PyArrow](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/install.html#using-pip): `pip install pyarrow`
* If you use Docker make sure to increase the shared memory size either with `--ipc=host` or `--shm-size`
as command line options to `nvidia-docker run` .
