CTRL¶

Overview¶

CTRL model was proposed in CTRL: A Conditional Transformer Language Model for Controllable Generation by Nitish Shirish Keskar*, Bryan McCann*, Lav R. Varshney, Caiming Xiong and Richard Socher. It’s a causal (unidirectional) transformer pre-trained using language modeling on a very large corpus of ~140 GB of text data with the first token reserved as a control code (such as Links, Books, Wikipedia etc.).

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Large-scale language models show promising text generation capabilities, but users cannot easily control particular aspects of the generated text. We release CTRL, a 1.63 billion-parameter conditional transformer language model, trained to condition on control codes that govern style, content, and task-specific behavior. Control codes were derived from structure that naturally co-occurs with raw text, preserving the advantages of unsupervised learning while providing more explicit control over text generation. These codes also allow CTRL to predict which parts of the training data are most likely given a sequence. This provides a potential method for analyzing large amounts of data via model-based source attribution.

Tips:

CTRL makes use of control codes to generate text: it requires generations to be started by certain words, sentences or links to generate coherent text. Refer to the original implementation for more information.
CTRL is a model with absolute position embeddings so it’s usually advised to pad the inputs on the right rather than the left.
CTRL was trained with a causal language modeling (CLM) objective and is therefore powerful at predicting the next token in a sequence. Leveraging this feature allows CTRL to generate syntactically coherent text as it can be observed in the run_generation.py example script.
The PyTorch models can take the past as input, which is the previously computed key/value attention pairs. Using this past value prevents the model from re-computing pre-computed values in the context of text generation. See reusing the past in generative models for more information on the usage of this argument.

The original code can be found here.

CTRLConfig¶

class transformers.CTRLConfig(vocab_size=246534, n_positions=256, n_ctx=256, n_embd=1280, dff=8192, n_layer=48, n_head=16, resid_pdrop=0.1, embd_pdrop=0.1, attn_pdrop=0.1, layer_norm_epsilon=1e-06, initializer_range=0.02, summary_type='cls_index', summary_use_proj=True, summary_activation=None, summary_proj_to_labels=True, summary_first_dropout=0.1, **kwargs)[source]¶

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a CTRLModel. It is used to instantiate an CTRL model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the ctrl architecture from SalesForce.

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

n_positions (int, optional, defaults to 256) – The maximum sequence length that this model might ever be used with. Typically set this to something large just in case (e.g., 512 or 1024 or 2048).
n_ctx (int, optional, defaults to 256) – Dimensionality of the causal mask (usually same as n_positions).
n_embd (int, optional, defaults to 1280) – Dimensionality of the embeddings and hidden states.
dff (int, optional, defaults to 8192) – Dimensionality of the inner dimension of the FFN.
n_layer (int, optional, defaults to 48) – Number of hidden layers in the Transformer encoder.
n_head (int, optional, defaults to 16) – Number of attention heads for each attention layer in the Transformer encoder.

A TFCausalLMOutputWithPast (if return_dict=True is passed or when config.return_dict=True) or a tuple of tf.Tensor comprising various elements depending on the configuration (CTRLConfig) and inputs.

loss (tf.Tensor of shape (1,), optional, returned when labels is provided) – Language modeling loss (for next-token prediction).
logits (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, config.vocab_size)) – Prediction scores of the language modeling head (scores for each vocabulary token before SoftMax).
past_key_values (List[tf.Tensor], optional, returned when use_cache=True is passed or when config.use_cache=True) – List of tf.Tensor of length config.n_layers, with each tensor of shape (2, batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, embed_size_per_head)).

Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the attention blocks) that can be used (see past_key_values input) to speed up sequential decoding.
hidden_states (tuple(tf.Tensor), optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) – Tuple of tf.Tensor (one for the output of the embeddings + one for the output of each layer) of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size).

Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the initial embedding outputs.
attentions (tuple(tf.Tensor), optional, returned when output_attentions=True is passed or when config.output_attentions=True) – Tuple of tf.Tensor (one for each layer) of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length).

Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads.

Return type

TFCausalLMOutputWithPast or tuple(tf.Tensor)

Example:

>>> from transformers import CTRLTokenizer, TFCTRLLMHeadModel
>>> import tensorflow as tf

>>> tokenizer = CTRLTokenizer.from_pretrained('ctrl')
>>> model = TFCTRLLMHeadModel.from_pretrained('ctrl')

>>> inputs = tokenizer("Hello, my dog is cute", return_tensors="tf")
>>> outputs = model(inputs)
>>> logits = outputs[0]

get_output_embeddings()[source]¶

Returns the model’s output embeddings.

Returns: A torch module mapping hidden states to vocabulary.
Return type: tf.keras.layers.Layer

prepare_inputs_for_generation(inputs, past, **kwargs)[source]¶: Implement in subclasses of TFPreTrainedModel for custom behavior to prepare inputs in the generate method.
