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, use_cache=True, **kwargs)[source]¶

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a CTRLModel or a TFCTRLModel. It is used to instantiate a 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.

Parameters

vocab_size (int, optional, defaults to 246534) – Vocabulary size of the CTRL model. Defines the number of different tokens that can be represented by the inputs_ids passed when calling CTRLModel or TFCTRLModel.
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 feed forward networks (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.
resid_pdrop (float, optional, defaults to 0.1) – The dropout probability for all fully connected layers in the embeddings, encoder, and pooler.
embd_pdrop (int, optional, defaults to 0.1) – The dropout ratio for the embeddings.
attn_pdrop (float, optional, defaults to 0.1) – The dropout ratio for the attention.
layer_norm_epsilon (float, optional, defaults to 1e-6) – The epsilon to use in the layer normalization layers
initializer_range (float, optional, defaults to 0.02) – The standard deviation of the truncated_normal_initializer for initializing all weight matrices.
use_cache (bool, optional, defaults to True) – Whether or not the model should return the last key/values attentions (not used by all models).

Examples:

>>> from transformers import CTRLModel, CTRLConfig

>>> # Initializing a CTRL configuration
>>> configuration = CTRLConfig()

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

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

CTRLTokenizer¶

class transformers.CTRLTokenizer(vocab_file, merges_file, unk_token='<unk>', **kwargs)[source]¶

Construct a CTRL tokenizer. Based on Byte-Pair-Encoding.

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

Parameters

vocab_file (str) – Path to the vocabulary file.
merges_file (str) – Path to the merges file.
unk_token (str, 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.

save_vocabulary(save_directory: str, filename_prefix: Optional[str] = None) → Tuple[str][source]¶

Save only the vocabulary of the tokenizer (vocabulary + added tokens).

This method won’t save the configuration and special token mappings of the tokenizer. Use _save_pretrained() to save the whole state of the tokenizer.

Parameters

save_directory (str) – The directory in which to save the vocabulary.
filename_prefix (str, optional) – An optional prefix to add to the named of the saved files.

Returns

Paths to the files saved.

CTRLModel¶

class transformers.CTRLModel(config)[source]¶

The bare CTRL Model transformer outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top.

This model inherits from PreTrainedModel. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

Parameters: config (CTRLConfig) – 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.

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.logits
