M2M100¶

Overview¶

The M2M100 model was proposed in Beyond English-Centric Multilingual Machine Translation by Angela Fan, Shruti Bhosale, Holger Schwenk, Zhiyi Ma, Ahmed El-Kishky, Siddharth Goyal, Mandeep Baines, Onur Celebi, Guillaume Wenzek, Vishrav Chaudhary, Naman Goyal, Tom Birch, Vitaliy Liptchinsky, Sergey Edunov, Edouard Grave, Michael Auli, Armand Joulin.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Existing work in translation demonstrated the potential of massively multilingual machine translation by training a single model able to translate between any pair of languages. However, much of this work is English-Centric by training only on data which was translated from or to English. While this is supported by large sources of training data, it does not reflect translation needs worldwide. In this work, we create a true Many-to-Many multilingual translation model that can translate directly between any pair of 100 languages. We build and open source a training dataset that covers thousands of language directions with supervised data, created through large-scale mining. Then, we explore how to effectively increase model capacity through a combination of dense scaling and language-specific sparse parameters to create high quality models. Our focus on non-English-Centric models brings gains of more than 10 BLEU when directly translating between non-English directions while performing competitively to the best single systems of WMT. We open-source our scripts so that others may reproduce the data, evaluation, and final M2M-100 model.

Training and Generation¶

M2M100 is a multilingual encoder-decoder (seq-to-seq) model primarily intended for translation tasks. As the model is multilingual it expects the sequences in a certain format: A special language id token is used as prefix in both the source and target text. The source text format is [lang_code] X [eos], where lang_code is source language id for source text and target language id for target text, with X being the source or target text.

The M2M100Tokenizer depends on sentencepiece so be sure to install it before running the examples. To install sentencepiece run pip install sentencepiece.

Supervised Training

from transformers import M2M100Config, M2M100ForConditionalGeneration, M2M100Tokenizer

model = M2M100ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained('facebook/m2m100_418M')
tokenizer = M2M100Tokenizer.from_pretrained('facebook/m2m100_418M', src_lang="en", tgt_lang="fr")

src_text = "Life is like a box of chocolates."
tgt_lang = "La vie est comme une boîte de chocolat."

model_inputs = tokenizer(src_text, return_tensors="pt")
with tokenizer.as_target_tokenizer():
    labels = tokenizer(tgt_text, return_tensors="pt").input_ids

loss = model(**model_inputs, labels=labels) # forward pass

Generation

M2M100 uses the eos_token_id as the decoder_start_token_id for generation with the target language id being forced as the first generated token. To force the target language id as the first generated token, pass the forced_bos_token_id parameter to the generate method. The following example shows how to translate between Hindi to French and Chinese to English using the facebook/m2m100_418M checkpoint.

>>> from transformers import M2M100ForConditionalGeneration, M2M100Tokenizer

>>> hi_text = "जीवन एक चॉकलेट बॉक्स की तरह है।"
>>> chinese_text = "生活就像一盒巧克力。"

>>> model = M2M100ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/m2m100_418M")
>>> tokenizer = M2M100Tokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/m2m100_418M")

>>> # translate Hindi to French
>>> tokenizer.src_lang = "hi"
>>> encoded_hi = tokenizer(hi_text, return_tensors="pt")
>>> generated_tokens = model.generate(**encoded_hi, forced_bos_token_id=tokenizer.get_lang_id("fr"))
>>> tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
"La vie est comme une boîte de chocolat."

>>> # translate Chinese to English
>>> tokenizer.src_lang = "zh"
>>> encoded_zh = tokenizer(chinese_text, return_tensors="pt")
>>> generated_tokens = model.generate(**encoded_zh, forced_bos_token_id=tokenizer.get_lang_id("en"))
>>> tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
"Life is like a box of chocolate."

The bare M2M100 Model 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 (M2M100Config) – 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=None, attention_mask=None, decoder_input_ids=None, decoder_attention_mask=None, head_mask=None, decoder_head_mask=None, encoder_outputs=None, past_key_values=None, inputs_embeds=None, decoder_inputs_embeds=None, use_cache=None, output_attentions=None, output_hidden_states=None, return_dict=None)[source]¶

The M2M100Model 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. Padding will be ignored by default should you provide it.

Indices can be obtained using M2M100Tokenizer. See transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__() for details.

What are input IDs?
attention_mask (torch.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_input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length), optional) – Provide for translation and summarization training. By default, the model will create this tensor by shifting the input_ids to the right, following the paper.
decoder_attention_mask (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length), optional) –
Default behavior: generate a tensor that ignores pad tokens in decoder_input_ids. Causal mask will also be used by default.

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 (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.

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.

encoder_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 of the encoder, after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads.

Example:

>>> from transformers import M2M100Tokenizer, M2M100ForConditionalGeneration

>>> model = M2M100ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained('facebook/m2m100_418M')
>>> tokenizer = M2M100Tokenizer.from_pretrained('facebook/m2m100_418M')

>>> text_to_translate = "Life is like a box of chocolates"
>>> model_inputs = tokenizer(text_to_translate, return_tensors='pt')

>>> # translate to French
>>> gen_tokens = model.generate( **model_inputs, forced_bos_token_id=tok.get_lang_id("fr"))
>>> print(tokenizer.batch_decode(gen_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True))

Return type

Seq2SeqLMOutput or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)

Translation example:

>>> from transformers import M2M100Tokenizer, M2M100ForConditionalGeneration

>>> model = M2M100ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained('facebook/m2m100_418M')
>>> tokenizer = M2M100Tokenizer.from_pretrained('facebook/m2m100_418M')

>>> text_to_translate = "Life is like a box of chocolates"
>>> model_inputs = tokenizer(text_to_translate, return_tensors='pt')

>>> # translate to French
>>> gen_tokens = model.generate( **model_inputs, forced_bos_token_id=tok.get_lang_id("fr"))
>>> print(tokenizer.batch_decode(gen_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True))
