RoBERTa¶

Overview¶

The RoBERTa model was proposed in RoBERTa: A Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach by Yinhan Liu, Myle Ott, Naman Goyal, Jingfei Du, Mandar Joshi, Danqi Chen, Omer Levy, Mike Lewis, Luke Zettlemoyer, Veselin Stoyanov. It is based on Google’s BERT model released in 2018.

It builds on BERT and modifies key hyperparameters, removing the next-sentence pretraining objective and training with much larger mini-batches and learning rates.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Language model pretraining has led to significant performance gains but careful comparison between different approaches is challenging. Training is computationally expensive, often done on private datasets of different sizes, and, as we will show, hyperparameter choices have significant impact on the final results. We present a replication study of BERT pretraining (Devlin et al., 2019) that carefully measures the impact of many key hyperparameters and training data size. We find that BERT was significantly undertrained, and can match or exceed the performance of every model published after it. Our best model achieves state-of-the-art results on GLUE, RACE and SQuAD. These results highlight the importance of previously overlooked design choices, and raise questions about the source of recently reported improvements. We release our models and code.

Tips:

This implementation is the same as BertModel with a tiny embeddings tweak as well as a setup for Roberta pretrained models.
RoBERTa has the same architecture as BERT, but uses a byte-level BPE as a tokenizer (same as GPT-2) and uses a different pre-training scheme.
RoBERTa doesn’t have token_type_ids, you don’t need to indicate which token belongs to which segment. Just separate your segments with the separation token tokenizer.sep_token (or </s>)
Camembert is a wrapper around RoBERTa. Refer to this page for usage examples.

The original code can be found here.

RobertaConfig¶

class transformers.RobertaConfig(pad_token_id=1, bos_token_id=0, eos_token_id=2, **kwargs)[source]¶

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a RobertaModel. It is used to instantiate an RoBERTa 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 BERT bert-base-uncased architecture.

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

The RobertaConfig class directly inherits BertConfig. It reuses the same defaults. Please check the parent class for more information.

Example:

>>> from transformers import RobertaConfig, RobertaModel

>>> # Initializing a RoBERTa configuration
>>> configuration = RobertaConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model from the configuration
>>> model = RobertaModel(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

RobertaTokenizer¶

class transformers.RobertaTokenizer(vocab_file, merges_file, errors='replace', bos_token='<s>', eos_token='</s>', sep_token='</s>', cls_token='<s>', unk_token='<unk>', pad_token='<pad>', mask_token='<mask>', add_prefix_space=False, **kwargs)[source]¶

Constructs a RoBERTa BPE tokenizer, derived from the GPT-2 tokenizer, using byte-level Byte-Pair-Encoding.

This tokenizer has been trained to treat spaces like parts of the tokens (a bit like sentencepiece) so a word will be encoded differently whether it is at the beginning of the sentence (without space) or not:

>>> from transformers import RobertaTokenizer
>>> tokenizer = RobertaTokenizer.from_pretrained("roberta-base")
>>> tokenizer("Hello world")['input_ids']
[0, 31414, 232, 328, 2]
>>> tokenizer(" Hello world")['input_ids']
[0, 20920, 232, 2]

You can get around that behavior by passing add_prefix_space=True when instantiating this tokenizer or when you call it on some text, but since the model was not pretrained this way, it might yield a decrease in performance.

Note

When used with is_pretokenized=True, this tokenizer will add a space before each word (even the first one).

This tokenizer inherits from PreTrainedTokenizer which contains most of the methods. Users should refer to the superclass for more information regarding methods.

Parameters

vocab_file (str) – Path to the vocabulary file.
merges_file (str) – Path to the merges file.
errors (str, optional, defaults to “replace”) – Paradigm to follow when decoding bytes to UTF-8. See bytes.decode for more information.
bos_token (string, optional, defaults to “<s>”) –
The beginning of sequence token that was used during pre-training. Can be used a sequence classifier token.

Note

When building a sequence using special tokens, this is not the token that is used for the beginning of sequence. The token used is the cls_token.
eos_token (string, optional, defaults to “</s>”) –
The end of sequence token.

Note

When building a sequence using special tokens, this is not the token that is used for the end of sequence. The token used is the sep_token.
sep_token (string, optional, defaults to “</s>”) – The separator token, which is used when building a sequence from multiple sequences, e.g. two sequences for sequence classification or for a text and a question for question answering. It is also used as the last token of a sequence built with special tokens.
cls_token (string, optional, defaults to “<s>”) – The classifier token which is used when doing sequence classification (classification of the whole sequence instead of per-token classification). It is the first token of the sequence when built with special tokens.
unk_token (string, optional, defaults to “<unk>”) – The unknown token. A token that is not in the vocabulary cannot be converted to an ID and is set to be this token instead.
pad_token (string, optional, defaults to “<pad>”) – The token used for padding, for example when batching sequences of different lengths.
mask_token (string, optional, defaults to “<mask>”) – The token used for masking values. This is the token used when training this model with masked language modeling. This is the token which the model will try to predict.

Constructs a “Fast” RoBERTa BPE tokenizer (backed by HuggingFace’s tokenizers library), derived from the GPT-2 tokenizer, using byte-level Byte-Pair-Encoding.

This tokenizer has been trained to treat spaces like parts of the tokens (a bit like sentencepiece) so a word will be encoded differently whether it is at the beginning of the sentence (without space) or not:

>>> from transformers import RobertaTokenizerFast
>>> tokenizer = RobertaTokenizerFast.from_pretrained("roberta-base")
>>> tokenizer("Hello world")['input_ids']
[0, 31414, 232, 328, 2]

TFRobertaForMultipleChoice¶

class transformers.TFRobertaForMultipleChoice(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Roberta Model with a multiple choice classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the pooled output and a softmax) e.g. for RocStories/SWAG tasks. This model is a tf.keras.Model sub-class. Use it as a regular TF 2.0 Keras Model and refer to the TF 2.0 documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

Note

TF 2.0 models accepts two formats as inputs:

having all inputs as keyword arguments (like PyTorch models), or

having all inputs as a list, tuple or dict in the first positional arguments.

This second option is useful when using tf.keras.Model.fit() method which currently requires having all the tensors in the first argument of the model call function: model(inputs).

If you choose this second option, there are three possibilities you can use to gather all the input Tensors in the first positional argument :

a single Tensor with input_ids only and nothing else: model(inputs_ids)
a list of varying length with one or several input Tensors IN THE ORDER given in the docstring: model([input_ids, attention_mask]) or model([input_ids, attention_mask, token_type_ids])
a dictionary with one or several input Tensors associated to the input names given in the docstring: model({'input_ids': input_ids, 'token_type_ids': token_type_ids})

Parameters: config (RobertaConfig) – Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

call(inputs, attention_mask=None, token_type_ids=None, position_ids=None, head_mask=None, inputs_embeds=None, output_attentions=None, output_hidden_states=None, return_dict=None, labels=None, training=False)[source]¶

The TFRobertaForMultipleChoice forward method, overrides the __call__() special method.

Note

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.
