BigBird

Overview

The BigBird model was proposed in Big Bird: Transformers for Longer Sequences by Zaheer, Manzil and Guruganesh, Guru and Dubey, Kumar Avinava and Ainslie, Joshua and Alberti, Chris and Ontanon, Santiago and Pham, Philip and Ravula, Anirudh and Wang, Qifan and Yang, Li and others. BigBird, is a sparse-attention based transformer which extends Transformer based models, such as BERT to much longer sequences. In addition to sparse attention, BigBird also applies global attention as well as random attention to the input sequence. Theoretically, it has been shown that applying sparse, global, and random attention approximates full attention, while being computationally much more efficient for longer sequences. As a consequence of the capability to handle longer context, BigBird has shown improved performance on various long document NLP tasks, such as question answering and summarization, compared to BERT or RoBERTa.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Transformers-based models, such as BERT, have been one of the most successful deep learning models for NLP. Unfortunately, one of their core limitations is the quadratic dependency (mainly in terms of memory) on the sequence length due to their full attention mechanism. To remedy this, we propose, BigBird, a sparse attention mechanism that reduces this quadratic dependency to linear. We show that BigBird is a universal approximator of sequence functions and is Turing complete, thereby preserving these properties of the quadratic, full attention model. Along the way, our theoretical analysis reveals some of the benefits of having O(1) global tokens (such as CLS), that attend to the entire sequence as part of the sparse attention mechanism. The proposed sparse attention can handle sequences of length up to 8x of what was previously possible using similar hardware. As a consequence of the capability to handle longer context, BigBird drastically improves performance on various NLP tasks such as question answering and summarization. We also propose novel applications to genomics data.

Tips:

• For an in-detail explanation on how BigBird’s attention works, see this blog post.

• BigBird comes with 2 implementations: original_full & block_sparse. For the sequence length < 1024, using original_full is advised as there is no benefit in using block_sparse attention.

• The code currently uses window size of 3 blocks and 2 global blocks.

• Sequence length must be divisible by block size.

• Current implementation supports only ITC.

• Current implementation doesn’t support num_random_blocks = 0

This model was contributed by vasudevgupta. The original code can be found here.

BigBirdConfig

class transformers.BigBirdConfig(vocab_size=50358, hidden_size=768, num_hidden_layers=12, num_attention_heads=12, intermediate_size=3072, hidden_act='gelu_new', hidden_dropout_prob=0.1, attention_probs_dropout_prob=0.1, max_position_embeddings=4096, type_vocab_size=2, initializer_range=0.02, layer_norm_eps=1e-12, use_cache=True, is_encoder_decoder=False, pad_token_id=0, bos_token_id=1, eos_token_id=2, sep_token_id=66, attention_type='block_sparse', use_bias=True, rescale_embeddings=False, block_size=64, num_random_blocks=3, gradient_checkpointing=False, **kwargs)

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a BigBirdModel. It is used to instantiate an BigBird 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 BigBird google/bigbird-roberta-base architecture.

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

BigBirdModel

class transformers.BigBirdModel(config, add_pooling_layer=True)

The bare BigBird Model transformer outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top. This model is a PyTorch torch.nn.Module sub-class. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

Parameters

config (BigBirdConfig) – 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.

The model can behave as an encoder (with only self-attention) as well as a decoder, in which case a layer of cross-attention is added between the self-attention layers, following the architecture described in Attention is all you need by Ashish Vaswani, Noam Shazeer, Niki Parmar, Jakob Uszkoreit, Llion Jones, Aidan N. Gomez, Lukasz Kaiser and Illia Polosukhin.

To behave as an decoder the model needs to be initialized with the is_decoder argument of the configuration set to True. To be used in a Seq2Seq model, the model needs to initialized with both is_decoder argument and add_cross_attention set to True; an encoder_hidden_states is then expected as an input to the forward pass.

forward(input_ids=None, attention_mask=None, token_type_ids=None, position_ids=None, head_mask=None, inputs_embeds=None, encoder_hidden_states=None, encoder_attention_mask=None, past_key_values=None, use_cache=None, output_attentions=None, output_hidden_states=None, return_dict=None)

The BigBirdModel 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.

BigBirdForCausalLM

class transformers.BigBirdForCausalLM(config)

BigBird Model with a language modeling head on top for CLM fine-tuning. This model is a PyTorch torch.nn.Module sub-class. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

Parameters

config (BigBirdConfig) – 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, token_type_ids=None, position_ids=None, head_mask=None, inputs_embeds=None, encoder_hidden_states=None, encoder_attention_mask=None, past_key_values=None, labels=None, use_cache=None, output_attentions=None, output_hidden_states=None, return_dict=None)

The BigBirdForCausalLM 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

  Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

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

Indices should be in [-100, 0, ..., config.vocab_size] (see input_ids docstring) Tokens with indices set to -100 are ignored (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels n [0, ..., config.vocab_size].

BigBirdForQuestionAnswering

class transformers.BigBirdForQuestionAnswering(config, add_pooling_layer=False)

BigBird Model with a span classification head on top for extractive question-answering tasks like SQuAD (a linear layers on top of the hidden-states output to compute span start logits and span end logits).

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

Parameters

config (BigBirdConfig) – 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, question_lengths=None, token_type_ids=None, position_ids=None, head_mask=None, inputs_embeds=None, start_positions=None, end_positions=None, output_attentions=None, output_hidden_states=None, return_dict=None)

  Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

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

FlaxBigBirdForTokenClassification

class transformers.FlaxBigBirdForTokenClassification(config: transformers.models.big_bird.configuration_big_bird.BigBirdConfig, input_shape: Optional[tuple] = None, seed: int = 0, dtype: numpy.dtype = <class 'jax._src.numpy.lax_numpy.float32'>, **kwargs)

BigBird 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 FlaxPreTrainedModel. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading, saving and converting weights from PyTorch models)

This model is also a Flax Linen flax.linen.Module subclass. Use it as a regular Flax linen Module and refer to the Flax documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

Finally, this model supports inherent JAX features such as:

• Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation

• Automatic Differentiation

• Vectorization

• Parallelization

Parameters

config (BigBirdConfig) – 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, attention_mask=None, token_type_ids=None, position_ids=None, params: dict = None, dropout_rng: jax._src.random.PRNGKey = None, train: bool = False, output_attentions: Optional[bool] = None, output_hidden_states: Optional[bool] = None, return_dict: Optional[bool] = None)

The FlaxBigBirdPreTrainedModel 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.ndarray of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) –

  Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

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

  What are input IDs?

• attention_mask (numpy.ndarray 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?

• token_type_ids (numpy.ndarray of shape (batch_size, 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.ndarray of shape (batch_size, 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].

• return_dict (bool, optional) – Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.

Returns

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

• logits (jax_xla.DeviceArray of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, config.num_labels)) – Classification scores (before SoftMax).

• hidden_states (tuple(jax_xla.DeviceArray), optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) – Tuple of jax_xla.DeviceArray (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(jax_xla.DeviceArray), optional, returned when output_attentions=True is passed or when config.output_attentions=True) – Tuple of jax_xla.DeviceArray (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

FlaxTokenClassifierOutput or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)

Example:

>>> from transformers import BigBirdTokenizer, FlaxBigBirdForTokenClassification

>>> tokenizer = BigBirdTokenizer.from_pretrained('google/bigbird-roberta-base')
>>> model = FlaxBigBirdForTokenClassification.from_pretrained('google/bigbird-roberta-base')

>>> inputs = tokenizer("Hello, my dog is cute", return_tensors='jax')

>>> outputs = model(**inputs)
