XLM¶

Overview¶

The XLM model was proposed in Cross-lingual Language Model Pretraining by Guillaume Lample, Alexis Conneau. It’s a transformer pretrained using one of the following objectives:

a causal language modeling (CLM) objective (next token prediction),
a masked language modeling (MLM) objective (BERT-like), or
a Translation Language Modeling (TLM) object (extension of BERT’s MLM to multiple language inputs)

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Recent studies have demonstrated the efficiency of generative pretraining for English natural language understanding. In this work, we extend this approach to multiple languages and show the effectiveness of cross-lingual pretraining. We propose two methods to learn cross-lingual language models (XLMs): one unsupervised that only relies on monolingual data, and one supervised that leverages parallel data with a new cross-lingual language model objective. We obtain state-of-the-art results on cross-lingual classification, unsupervised and supervised machine translation. On XNLI, our approach pushes the state of the art by an absolute gain of 4.9% accuracy. On unsupervised machine translation, we obtain 34.3 BLEU on WMT’16 German-English, improving the previous state of the art by more than 9 BLEU. On supervised machine translation, we obtain a new state of the art of 38.5 BLEU on WMT’16 Romanian-English, outperforming the previous best approach by more than 4 BLEU. Our code and pretrained models will be made publicly available.

Tips:

XLM has many different checkpoints, which were trained using different objectives: CLM, MLM or TLM. Make sure to select the correct objective for your task (e.g. MLM checkpoints are not suitable for generation).
XLM has multilingual checkpoints which leverage a specific lang parameter. Check out the multi-lingual page for more information.

Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the xlm-mlm-en-2048 architecture.

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

XLMModel¶

class transformers.XLMModel(config)[source]¶

The bare XLM 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 (XLMConfig) – 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, langs=None, token_type_ids=None, position_ids=None, lengths=None, cache=None, head_mask=None, inputs_embeds=None, output_attentions=None, output_hidden_states=None, return_dict=None)[source]¶

The XLMModel 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.

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

What are input IDs?

input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) –
Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

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

What are input IDs?

A parallel sequence of tokens to be used to indicate the language of each token in the input. Indices are languages ids which can be obtained from the language names by using two conversion mappings provided in the configuration of the model (only provided for multilingual models). More precisely, the language name to language id mapping is in model.config.lang2id (which is a dictionary strring to int) and the language id to language name mapping is in model.config.id2lang (dictionary int to string).

See usage examples detailed in the multilingual documentation.

TFXLMModel¶

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

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

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 (XLMConfig) – 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, langs=None, token_type_ids=None, position_ids=None, lengths=None, cache=None, head_mask=None, inputs_embeds=None, output_attentions=None, output_hidden_states=None, return_dict=None, training=False, **kwargs)[source]¶

The TFXLMModel 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 (Numpy array or tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) –
Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

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

A parallel sequence of tokens to be used to indicate the language of each token in the input. Indices are languages ids which can be obtained from the language names by using two conversion mappings provided in the configuration of the model (only provided for multilingual models). More precisely, the language name to language id mapping is in model.config.lang2id (which is a dictionary string to int) and the language id to language name mapping is in model.config.id2lang (dictionary int to string).

See usage examples detailed in the multilingual documentation.

What are position IDs?

You can also use attention_mask for the same result (see above), kept here for compatibility. Indices selected in [0, ..., input_ids.size(-1)].
cache (Dict[str, tf.Tensor], optional) –
Dictionary string to torch.FloatTensor that contains precomputed hidden states (key and values in the attention blocks) as computed by the model (see cache output below). Can be used to speed up sequential decoding.

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. This argument can be used only in eager mode, in graph mode the value in the config will be used instead.

More precisely, the language name to language id mapping is in model.config.lang2id (which is a dictionary string to int) and the language id to language name mapping is in model.config.id2lang (dictionary int to string).

See usage examples detailed in the multilingual documentation.
token_type_ids (Numpy array or tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, num_choices, sequence_length), optional) –
Segment token indices to indicate first and second portions of the inputs. Indices are selected in [0, 1]:
- 0 corresponds to a sentence A token,
- 1 corresponds to a sentence B token.
What are token type IDs?
position_ids (Numpy array or tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, num_choices, sequence_length), optional) –
Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range [0, config.max_position_embeddings - 1].

What are position IDs?
lengths (tf.Tensor or Numpy array of shape (batch_size,), optional) – Length of each sentence that can be used to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. You can also use attention_mask for the same result (see above), kept here for compatibility. Indices selected in [0, ..., input_ids.size(-1)].
cache (Dict[str, tf.Tensor], optional) –
Dictionary string to torch.FloatTensor that contains precomputed hidden states (key and values in the attention blocks) as computed by the model (see cache output below). Can be used to speed up sequential decoding.

The dictionary object will be modified in-place during the forward pass to add newly computed hidden-states.

- 0 indicates the head is masked.
inputs_embeds (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, num_choices, 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. This argument can be used only in eager mode, in graph mode the value in the config will be used instead.
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. This argument can be used only in eager mode, in graph mode the value in the config will be used instead.

TFXLMForTokenClassification¶

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

XLM Model with a token classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the hidden-states output) e.g. for Named-Entity-Recognition (NER) tasks.

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 (XLMConfig) – 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, langs=None, token_type_ids=None, position_ids=None, lengths=None, cache=None, head_mask=None, inputs_embeds=None, output_attentions=None, output_hidden_states=None, return_dict=None, labels=None, training=False, **kwargs)[source]¶

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