T5¶

DISCLAIMER: This model is still a work in progress, if you see something strange, file a Github Issue.

Overview¶

The T5 model was presented in Exploring the Limits of Transfer Learning with a Unified Text-to-Text Transformer by Colin Raffel, Noam Shazeer, Adam Roberts, Katherine Lee, Sharan Narang, Michael Matena, Yanqi Zhou, Wei Li, Peter J. Liu.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Transfer learning, where a model is first pre-trained on a data-rich task before being fine-tuned on a downstream task, has emerged as a powerful technique in natural language processing (NLP). The effectiveness of transfer learning has given rise to a diversity of approaches, methodology, and practice. In this paper, we explore the landscape of transfer learning techniques for NLP by introducing a unified framework that converts every language problem into a text-to-text format. Our systematic study compares pretraining objectives, architectures, unlabeled datasets, transfer approaches, and other factors on dozens of language understanding tasks. By combining the insights from our exploration with scale and our new “Colossal Clean Crawled Corpus”, we achieve state-of-the-art results on many benchmarks covering summarization, question answering, text classification, and more. To facilitate future work on transfer learning for NLP, we release our dataset, pre-trained models, and code.

Tips:

T5 is an encoder-decoder model pre-trained on a multi-task mixture of unsupervised and supervised tasks and for which each task is converted into a text-to-text format. T5 works well on a variety of tasks out-of-the-box by prepending a different prefix to the input corresponding to each task, e.g., for translation: translate English to German: …, for summarization: summarize: ….

For more information about which prefix to use, it is easiest to look into Appendix D of the paper. - For sequence-to-sequence generation, it is recommended to use T5ForConditionalGeneration.generate()`. This method takes care of feeding the encoded input via cross-attention layers to the decoder and auto-regressively generates the decoder output. - T5 uses relative scalar embeddings. Encoder input padding can be done on the left and on the right.

The original code can be found here.

Training¶

T5 is an encoder-decoder model and converts all NLP problems into a text-to-text format. It is trained using teacher forcing. This means that for training we always need an input sequence and a target sequence. The input sequence is fed to the model using input_ids`. The target sequence is shifted to the right, i.e., prepended by a start-sequence token and fed to the decoder using the decoder_input_ids. In teacher-forcing style, the target sequence is then appended by the EOS token and corresponds to the labels. The PAD token is hereby used as the start-sequence token. T5 can be trained / fine-tuned both in a supervised and unsupervised fashion.

Unsupervised denoising training

In this setup spans of the input sequence are masked by so-called sentinel tokens (a.k.a unique mask tokens) and the output sequence is formed as a concatenation of the same sentinel tokens and the real masked tokens. Each sentinel token represents a unique mask token for this sentence and should start with <extra_id_0>, <extra_id_1>, … up to <extra_id_99>. As a default, 100 sentinel tokens are available in T5Tokenizer.

For instance, the sentence “The cute dog walks in the park” with the masks put on “cute dog” and “the” should be processed as follows:

input_ids = tokenizer('The <extra_id_0> walks in <extra_id_1> park', return_tensors='pt').input_ids
labels = tokenizer('<extra_id_0> cute dog <extra_id_1> the <extra_id_2>', return_tensors='pt').input_ids
# the forward function automatically creates the correct decoder_input_ids
loss = model(input_ids=input_ids, labels=labels).loss

Supervised training

In this setup the input sequence and output sequence are standard sequence-to-sequence input output mapping. In translation, for instance with the input sequence “The house is wonderful.” and output sequence “Das Haus ist wunderbar.”, the sentences should be processed as follows:

input_ids = tokenizer('translate English to German: The house is wonderful.', return_tensors='pt').input_ids
labels = tokenizer('Das Haus ist wunderbar.', return_tensors='pt').input_ids
# the forward function automatically creates the correct decoder_input_ids
loss = model(input_ids=input_ids, labels=labels).loss

T5Config¶

class transformers.T5Config(vocab_size=32128, d_model=512, d_kv=64, d_ff=2048, num_layers=6, num_decoder_layers=None, num_heads=8, relative_attention_num_buckets=32, dropout_rate=0.1, layer_norm_epsilon=1e-06, initializer_factor=1.0, feed_forward_proj='relu', is_encoder_decoder=True, use_cache=True, pad_token_id=0, eos_token_id=1, **kwargs)[source]¶

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a T5Model or a TFT5Model. It is used to instantiate a T5 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 T5 t5-small architecture.

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

slow_tokenizer_class¶: alias of transformers.models.t5.tokenization_t5.T5Tokenizer

T5Model¶

class transformers.T5Model(config: transformers.models.t5.configuration_t5.T5Config)[source]¶

The bare T5 Model transformer outputting raw hidden-stateswithout any specific head on top.

The T5 model was proposed in Exploring the Limits of Transfer Learning with a Unified Text-to-Text Transformer by Colin Raffel, Noam Shazeer, Adam Roberts, Katherine Lee, Sharan Narang, Michael Matena, Yanqi Zhou, Wei Li, Peter J. Liu. It’s an encoder decoder transformer pre-trained in a text-to-text denoising generative setting.

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 (T5Config) – 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.

deparallelize()[source]¶

Moves the model to cpu from a model parallel state.

Example:

# On a 4 GPU machine with t5-3b:
model = T5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained('t5-3b')
device_map = {0: [0, 1, 2],

             1: [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
             2: [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16],
             3: [17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23]}
model.parallelize(device_map) # Splits the model across several devices
model.deparallelize() # Put the model back on cpu and cleans memory by calling torch.cuda.empty_cache()

forward(input_ids=None, attention_mask=None, decoder_input_ids=None, decoder_attention_mask=None, encoder_outputs=None, past_key_values=None, head_mask=None, inputs_embeds=None, decoder_inputs_embeds=None, use_cache=None, output_attentions=None, output_hidden_states=None, return_dict=None)[source]¶

The T5Model 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. T5 is a model with relative position embeddings so you should be able to pad the inputs on both the right and the left.

Indices can be obtained using T5Tokenizer. See transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__() for detail.

To know more on how to prepare input_ids for pretraining take a look a T5 Training.
attention_mask (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, 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?
decoder_input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length), optional) –
Provide for sequence to sequence training. T5 uses the pad_token_id as the starting token for decoder_input_ids generation. If past_key_values is used, optionally only the last decoder_input_ids have to be input (see past_key_values).

To know more on how to prepare decoder_input_ids for pretraining take a look at T5 Training. If decoder_input_ids and decoder_inputs_embeds are both unset, decoder_input_ids takes the value of input_ids.
decoder_attention_mask (torch.BoolTensor of shape (batch_size, tgt_seq_len), optional) – Default behavior: generate a tensor that ignores pad tokens in decoder_input_ids. Causal mask will also be used by default.
encoder_outputs (tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional) – Tuple consists of (last_hidden_state, optional: hidden_states, optional: attentions) last_hidden_state of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size) is a sequence of hidden states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.
past_key_values (tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor)) of length config.n_layers with each tuple having 4 tensors of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length - 1, embed_size_per_head)) –
Contains precomputed key and value hidden states of the attention blocks. Can be used to speed up decoding.

If past_key_values are used, the user can optionally input only the last decoder_input_ids (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape (batch_size, 1) instead of all decoder_input_ids of shape (batch_size, sequence_length).
head_mask (torch.FloatTensor of shape (num_heads,) or (num_layers, num_heads), optional) –
Mask to nullify selected heads of the self-attention modules. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:
- 1 indicates the head is not masked,
- 0 indicates the head is masked.
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.
decoder_inputs_embeds (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) –
Optionally, instead of passing decoder_input_ids you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. If past_key_values is used, optionally only the last decoder_inputs_embeds have to be input (see past_key_values). This is useful if you want more control over how to convert decoder_input_ids indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.

If decoder_input_ids and decoder_inputs_embeds are both unset, decoder_inputs_embeds takes the value of inputs_embeds.
use_cache (bool, optional) – If set to True, past_key_values key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see past_key_values).
output_attentions (bool, optional) – Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See attentions under returned tensors for more detail.

parallelize(device_map=None)[source]¶

Uses a device map to distribute attention modules of the model across several devices. If no device map is given, it will evenly distribute blocks across all devices.

Parameters

device_map (Dict[int, list], optional, defaults to None) –

A dictionary that maps attention modules to devices. Note that the embedding module and LMHead are always automatically mapped to the first device (for esoteric reasons). That means that the first device should have fewer attention modules mapped to it than other devices. For reference, the t5 models have the following number of attention modules:

t5-small: 6

t5-base: 12

t5-large: 24

t5-3b: 24

t5-11b: 24

Example:

# Here is an example of a device map on a machine with 4 GPUs using t5-3b, which has a total of 24 attention modules:
model = T5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained('t5-3b')
device_map = {0: [0, 1, 2],

             1: [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
             2: [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16],
             3: [17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23]}
model.parallelize(device_map)

T5ForConditionalGeneration¶

class transformers.T5ForConditionalGeneration(config)[source]¶

T5 Model with a language modeling head on top.

The T5 model was proposed in Exploring the Limits of Transfer Learning with a Unified Text-to-Text Transformer by Colin Raffel, Noam Shazeer, Adam Roberts, Katherine Lee, Sharan Narang, Michael Matena, Yanqi Zhou, Wei Li, Peter J. Liu. It’s an encoder decoder transformer pre-trained in a text-to-text denoising generative setting.

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 (T5Config) – 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.

deparallelize()[source]¶

Moves the model to cpu from a model parallel state.

Example:

# On a 4 GPU machine with t5-3b:
model = T5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained('t5-3b')
device_map = {0: [0, 1, 2],

             1: [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
             2: [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16],
             3: [17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23]}
model.parallelize(device_map) # Splits the model across several devices
model.deparallelize() # Put the model back on cpu and cleans memory by calling torch.cuda.empty_cache()

forward(input_ids=None, attention_mask=None, decoder_input_ids=None, decoder_attention_mask=None, encoder_outputs=None, past_key_values=None, head_mask=None, inputs_embeds=None, decoder_inputs_embeds=None, labels=None, use_cache=None, output_attentions=None, output_hidden_states=None, return_dict=None)[source]¶

The T5ForConditionalGeneration 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. T5 is a model with relative position embeddings so you should be able to pad the inputs on both the right and the left.

Indices can be obtained using T5Tokenizer. See transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__() for detail.

To know more on how to prepare input_ids for pretraining take a look a T5 Training.
attention_mask (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, 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?
decoder_input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length), optional) –
Provide for sequence to sequence training. T5 uses the pad_token_id as the starting token for decoder_input_ids generation. If past_key_values is used, optionally only the last decoder_input_ids have to be input (see past_key_values).

To know more on how to prepare decoder_input_ids for pretraining take a look at T5 Training. If decoder_input_ids and decoder_inputs_embeds are both unset, decoder_input_ids takes the value of input_ids.
decoder_attention_mask (torch.BoolTensor of shape (batch_size, tgt_seq_len), optional) – Default behavior: generate a tensor that ignores pad tokens in decoder_input_ids. Causal mask will also be used by default.
encoder_outputs (tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional) – Tuple consists of (last_hidden_state, optional: hidden_states, optional: attentions) last_hidden_state of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size) is a sequence of hidden states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.

If past_key_values are used, the user can optionally input only the last decoder_input_ids (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape (batch_size, 1) instead of all decoder_input_ids of shape (batch_size, sequence_length).
head_mask (torch.FloatTensor of shape (num_heads,) or (num_layers, num_heads), optional) –
Mask to nullify selected heads of the self-attention modules. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:
- 1 indicates the head is not masked,
- 0 indicates the head is masked.
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.
decoder_inputs_embeds (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) –
Optionally, instead of passing decoder_input_ids you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. If past_key_values is used, optionally only the last decoder_inputs_embeds have to be input (see past_key_values). This is useful if you want more control over how to convert decoder_input_ids indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.

If decoder_input_ids and decoder_inputs_embeds are both unset, decoder_inputs_embeds takes the value of inputs_embeds.
use_cache (bool, optional) – If set to True, past_key_values key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see past_key_values).
output_attentions (bool, optional) – Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See attentions under returned tensors for more detail.

Liu. It’s an encoder decoder transformer pre-trained in a text-to-text denoising generative setting.

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 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 (T5Config) – 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.

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

TFT5ForConditionalGeneration¶

class transformers.TFT5ForConditionalGeneration(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶

T5 Model with a language modeling head on top.

The T5 model was proposed in Exploring the Limits of Transfer Learning with a Unified Text-to-Text Transformer by Colin Raffel, Noam Shazeer, Adam Roberts, Katherine Lee, Sharan Narang, Michael Matena, Yanqi Zhou, Wei Li, Peter J. Liu. It’s an encoder decoder transformer pre-trained in a text-to-text denoising generative setting.

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 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 (T5Config) – 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(input_ids=None, attention_mask=None, decoder_input_ids=None, decoder_attention_mask=None, encoder_outputs=None, past_key_values=None, head_mask=None, inputs_embeds=None, decoder_inputs_embeds=None, labels=None, use_cache=None, output_attentions=None, output_hidden_states=None, return_dict=None, training=False, **kwargs)[source]¶

The TFT5ForConditionalGeneration 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

inputs (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) –
Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. T5 is a model with relative position embeddings so you should be able to pad the inputs on the right or the left.

Indices can be obtained using BertTokenizer. See transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__() and transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() for details.

To know more on how to prepare inputs for pretraining take a look at T5 Training.
decoder_input_ids (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length), optional) –
Provide for sequence to sequence training. T5 uses the pad_token_id as the starting token for decoder_input_ids generation. If past_key_values is used, optionally only the last decoder_input_ids have to be input (see past_key_values).

To know more on how to prepare decoder_input_ids for pretraining take a look at T5 Training. If decoder_input_ids and decoder_inputs_embeds are both unset, decoder_input_ids takes the value of input_ids.
attention_mask (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, 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?
decoder_attention_mask (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, tgt_seq_len), optional) – Default behavior: generate a tensor that ignores pad tokens in decoder_input_ids. Causal mask will also be used by default.
encoder_outputs (tuple(tuple(tf.FloatTensor), optional) – Tuple consists of (last_hidden_state, optional: hidden_states, optional: attentions) last_hidden_state of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size) is a sequence of hidden states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.
past_key_values (tuple(tuple(tf.Tensor)) of length config.n_layers with each tuple having 4 tensors of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length - 1, embed_size_per_head)) –
contains precomputed key and value hidden states of the attention blocks. Can be used to speed up decoding.

If past_key_values are used, the user can optionally input only the last decoder_input_ids (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape (batch_size, 1) instead of all decoder_input_ids of shape (batch_size, sequence_length).
inputs_embeds (tf.Tensor 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.
decoder_inputs_embeds (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) –
Optionally, instead of passing decoder_input_ids you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. If past_key_values is used, optionally only the last decoder_inputs_embeds have to be input (see past_key_values). This is useful if you want more control over how to convert decoder_input_ids indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.

If decoder_input_ids and decoder_inputs_embeds are both unset, decoder_inputs_embeds takes the value of inputs_embeds.
head_mask –
(tf.Tensor of shape (num_heads,) or (num_layers, num_heads), optional): Mask to nullify selected heads of the self-attention modules. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:
- 1 indicates the head is not masked,
- 0 indicates the head is masked.
use_cache (bool, optional, defaults to True) – If set to True, past_key_values key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see past_key_values).
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.
training (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Whether or not to use the model in training mode (some modules like dropout modules have different behaviors between training and evaluation).
labels (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) – Labels for computing the cross entropy classification loss. Indices should be in [0, ..., config.vocab_size - 1].

Returns

A TFSeq2SeqLMOutput (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 (T5Config) and inputs.

loss (tf.Tensor of shape (1,), optional, returned when labels is provided) – Language modeling loss.
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).

Hidden-states of the decoder at the output of each layer plus the initial embedding outputs.
decoder_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 of the decoder, after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads.
encoder_last_hidden_state (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) – Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the encoder of the model.
encoder_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).
