DPR¶

Overview¶

Dense Passage Retrieval (DPR) is a set of tools and models for state-of-the-art open-domain Q&A research. It was introduced in Dense Passage Retrieval for Open-Domain Question Answering by Vladimir Karpukhin, Barlas Oğuz, Sewon Min, Patrick Lewis, Ledell Wu, Sergey Edunov, Danqi Chen, Wen-tau Yih.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Open-domain question answering relies on efficient passage retrieval to select candidate contexts, where traditional sparse vector space models, such as TF-IDF or BM25, are the de facto method. In this work, we show that retrieval can be practically implemented using dense representations alone, where embeddings are learned from a small number of questions and passages by a simple dual-encoder framework. When evaluated on a wide range of open-domain QA datasets, our dense retriever outperforms a strong Lucene-BM25 system largely by 9%-19% absolute in terms of top-20 passage retrieval accuracy, and helps our end-to-end QA system establish new state-of-the-art on multiple open-domain QA benchmarks.

The resulting input_ids is a matrix of size (n_passages, sequence_length) with the format:

[CLS] <question token ids> [SEP] <titles ids> [SEP] <texts ids>

Parameters

DPRContextEncoder¶

class transformers.DPRContextEncoder(config: transformers.models.dpr.configuration_dpr.DPRConfig)[source]¶

The bare DPRContextEncoder transformer outputting pooler outputs as context representations.

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 (DPRConfig) – 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.

forward(input_ids: Optional[torch.Tensor] = None, attention_mask: Optional[torch.Tensor] = None, token_type_ids: Optional[torch.Tensor] = None, inputs_embeds: Optional[torch.Tensor] = None, output_attentions=None, output_hidden_states=None, return_dict=None) → Union[transformers.models.dpr.modeling_dpr.DPRContextEncoderOutput, Tuple[torch.Tensor, …]][source]¶

The DPRContextEncoder 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.

Parameters

input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) –

Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. To match pretraining, DPR input sequence should be formatted with [CLS] and [SEP] tokens as follows:

For sequence pairs (for a pair title+text for example):

tokens:         [CLS] is this jack ##son ##ville ? [SEP] no it is not . [SEP]
token_type_ids:   0   0  0    0    0     0       0   0   1  1  1  1   1   1

For single sequences (for a question for example):

tokens:         [CLS] the dog is hairy . [SEP]
token_type_ids:   0   0   0   0  0     0   0

DPR is a model with absolute position embeddings so it’s usually advised to pad the inputs on the right rather than the left.

Indices can be obtained using DPRTokenizer. See transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__() for details. attention_mask (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional): Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices.

0 corresponds to a sentence A token,
1 corresponds to a sentence B token.

What are token type IDs? inputs_embeds (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size), optional): Optionally, instead of passing input_ids you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This is useful if you want more control over how to convert input_ids indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix. output_attentions (bool, optional): Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See attentions under returned tensors for more detail. output_hidden_states (bool, optional): Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers.

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

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 (DPRConfig) – 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.

forward(input_ids: Optional[torch.Tensor] = None, attention_mask: Optional[torch.Tensor] = None, inputs_embeds: Optional[torch.Tensor] = None, output_attentions: bool = None, output_hidden_states: bool = None, return_dict=None) → Union[transformers.models.dpr.modeling_dpr.DPRReaderOutput, Tuple[torch.Tensor, …]][source]¶

The DPRReader 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.

Parameters

input_ids –
(Tuple[torch.LongTensor] of shapes (n_passages, sequence_length)): Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. It has to be a sequence triplet with 1) the question and 2) the passages titles and 3) the passages texts To match pretraining, DPR input_ids sequence should be formatted with [CLS] and [SEP] with the format:

[CLS] <question token ids> [SEP] <titles ids> [SEP] <texts ids>

DPR is a model with absolute position embeddings so it’s usually advised to pad the inputs on the right rather than the left.

Indices can be obtained using DPRReaderTokenizer. See this class documentation for more details.
attention_mask (torch.FloatTensor of shape (n_passages, sequence_length), optional) –
Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:
- 1 for tokens that are not masked,
- 0 for tokens that are masked.
What are attention masks?
inputs_embeds (torch.FloatTensor of shape (n_passages, sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) – Optionally, instead of passing input_ids you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This is useful if you want more control over how to convert input_ids indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.
output_attentions (bool, optional) – Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See attentions under returned tensors for more detail.
output_hidden_states (bool, optional) – Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See hidden_states under returned tensors for more detail.
return_dict (bool, optional) – Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.

Returns

A DPRReaderOutput (if return_dict=True is passed or when config.return_dict=True) or a tuple of torch.FloatTensor comprising various elements depending on the configuration (DPRConfig) and inputs.

start_logits: (:obj:torch.FloatTensor of shape (n_passages, sequence_length)) – Logits of the start index of the span for each passage.
end_logits: (:obj:torch.FloatTensor of shape (n_passages, sequence_length)) – Logits of the end index of the span for each passage.
relevance_logits: (torch.FloatTensor` of shape (n_passages, )) – Outputs of the QA classifier of the DPRReader that corresponds to the scores of each passage to answer the question, compared to all the other passages.
hidden_states (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) – Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (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(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_attentions=True is passed or when config.output_attentions=True) – Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (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.

Examples:

>>> from transformers import DPRReader, DPRReaderTokenizer
>>> tokenizer = DPRReaderTokenizer.from_pretrained('facebook/dpr-reader-single-nq-base')
>>> model = DPRReader.from_pretrained('facebook/dpr-reader-single-nq-base')
>>> encoded_inputs = tokenizer(
...         questions=["What is love ?"],
...         titles=["Haddaway"],
...         texts=["'What Is Love' is a song recorded by the artist Haddaway"],
...         return_tensors='pt'
...     )
>>> outputs = model(**encoded_inputs)
>>> start_logits = outputs.stat_logits
>>> end_logits = outputs.end_logits
>>> relevance_logits = outputs.relevance_logits

Return type

DPRReaderOutput or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)

TFDPRContextEncoder¶

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

The bare DPRContextEncoder transformer outputting pooler outputs as context representations.

This model inherits from TFPreTrainedModel. 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 Tensorflow tf.keras.Model subclass. 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 (DPRConfig) – 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: Optional[tensorflow.python.framework.ops.Tensor] = None, token_type_ids: Optional[tensorflow.python.framework.ops.Tensor] = None, inputs_embeds: Optional[tensorflow.python.framework.ops.Tensor] = None, output_attentions=None, output_hidden_states=None, return_dict=None, training: bool = False) → Union[transformers.models.dpr.modeling_tf_dpr.TFDPRContextEncoderOutput, Tuple[tensorflow.python.framework.ops.Tensor, …]][source]¶

The TFDPRContextEncoder 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.
