# BART-SLED (SLiding-Encoder and Decoder, base-sized model)
SLED models use pretrained, short-range encoder-decoder models, and apply them over
long-text inputs by splitting the input into multiple overlapping chunks, encoding each independently and perform fusion-in-decoder
## Model description
This SLED model is based on the BART model, which is described in its [model card](https://huggingface.co/facebook/bart-base).
BART is particularly effective when fine-tuned for text generation (e.g. summarization, translation) but also works
well for comprehension tasks (e.g. text classification, question answering). When used as a BART-SLED model, it can be applied on long text tasks.
## Intended uses & limitations
You can use the raw model for text infilling. However, the model is mostly meant to be fine-tuned on a supervised dataset.
### How to use
To use the model, you first need to install `py-sled` in your environment (or clone the code from the [official repository](https://github.com/Mivg/SLED/blob/main/README.md))
```
pip install py-sled
```
For more installation instructions, see [here](https://github.com/Mivg/SLED#Installation).
Once installed, SLED is fully compatible with HuggingFace's AutoClasses (AutoTokenizer, AutoConfig, AutoModel
and AutoModelForCausalLM) and can be loaded using the from_pretrained methods
```python
import sled # *** required so that SledModels will be registered for the AutoClasses ***
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('tau/bart-base-sled')
```
Here is how to use this model in PyTorch:
```python
from sled import SledTokenizer, SledModel
tokenizer = SledTokenizer.from_pretrained('tau/bart-base-sled')
model = SledModel.from_pretrained('tau/bart-base-sled')
inputs = tokenizer("Hello, my dog is cute", return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)
last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state
```
You can also replace SledModel by SledModelForConditionalGeneration for Seq2Seq generation
```python
model = SledModelForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained('tau/bart-base-sled')
```
In case you wish to apply SLED on a task containing a prefix (e.g. question) which should be given as a context to
every chunk, you can pass the `prefix_length` tensor input as well (A LongTensor in the length of the batch size).
```python
import torch
import sled # *** required so that SledModels will be registered for the AutoClasses ***
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('tau/bart-base-sled')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('tau/bart-base-sled')
document_input_ids = tokenizer("Dogs are great for you.", return_tensors="pt").input_ids
prefix_input_ids = tokenizer("Are dogs good for you?", return_tensors="pt").input_ids
input_ids = torch.cat((prefix_input_ids, document_input_ids), dim=-1)
attention_mask = torch.ones_like(input_ids)
prefix_length = torch.LongTensor([[prefix_input_ids.size(1)]])
outputs = model(input_ids=input_ids, attention_mask=attention_mask, prefix_length=prefix_length)
last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state
```
