T5(v1.1)-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 T5(V1.1) model, which is described in its model card.
The developers write in a blog post that the T5 model:
Our text-to-text framework allows us to use the same model, loss function, and hyperparameters on any NLP task, including machine translation, document summarization, question answering, and classification tasks (e.g., sentiment analysis). We can even apply T5 to regression tasks by training it to predict the string representation of a number instead of the number itself. T5 v1.1 includes several improvments on top of the original checkpoint. see its card for details
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)
pip install py-sled
For more installation instructions, see here.
Once installed, SLED is fully compatible with HuggingFace's AutoClasses (AutoTokenizer, AutoConfig, AutoModel and AutoModelForCausalLM) and can be loaded using the from_pretrained methods
import sled # *** required so that SledModels will be registered for the AutoClasses ***
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('tau/t5-v1_1-large-sled')
Here is how to use this model in PyTorch:
from sled import SledTokenizer, SledModel
tokenizer = SledTokenizer.from_pretrained('tau/t5-v1_1-large-sled')
model = SledModel.from_pretrained('tau/t5-v1_1-large-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
model = SledModelForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained('tau/t5-v1_1-large-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).
import torch
import sled # *** required so that SledModels will be registered for the AutoClasses ***
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('tau/t5-v1_1-large-sled')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('tau/t5-v1_1-large-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
