XLNet

##
Overview

The XLNet model was proposed in XLNet: Generalized Autoregressive Pretraining for Language Understanding by Zhilin Yang, Zihang Dai, Yiming Yang, Jaime Carbonell, Ruslan Salakhutdinov, Quoc V. Le. XLnet is an extension of the Transformer-XL model pre-trained using an autoregressive method to learn bidirectional contexts by maximizing the expected likelihood over all permutations of the input sequence factorization order.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

With the capability of modeling bidirectional contexts, denoising autoencoding based pretraining like BERT achieves better performance than pretraining approaches based on autoregressive language modeling. However, relying on corrupting the input with masks, BERT neglects dependency between the masked positions and suffers from a pretrain-finetune discrepancy. In light of these pros and cons, we propose XLNet, a generalized autoregressive pretraining method that (1) enables learning bidirectional contexts by maximizing the expected likelihood over all permutations of the factorization order and (2) overcomes the limitations of BERT thanks to its autoregressive formulation. Furthermore, XLNet integrates ideas from Transformer-XL, the state-of-the-art autoregressive model, into pretraining. Empirically, under comparable experiment settings, XLNet outperforms BERT on 20 tasks, often by a large margin, including question answering, natural language inference, sentiment analysis, and document ranking.

Tips:

- The specific attention pattern can be controlled at training and test time using the `perm_mask` input.
- Due to the difficulty of training a fully auto-regressive model over various factorization order, XLNet is pretrained using only a sub-set of the output tokens as target which are selected with the `target_mapping` input.
- To use XLNet for sequential decoding (i.e. not in fully bi-directional setting), use the `perm_mask` and `target_mapping` inputs to control the attention span and outputs (see examples in examples/pytorch/text-generation/run_generation.py)
- XLNet is one of the few models that has no sequence length limit.
- XLNet is not a traditional autoregressive model but uses a training strategy that builds on that. It permutes the tokens in the sentence, then allows the model to use the last n tokens to predict the token n+1. Since this is all done with a mask, the sentence is actually fed in the model in the right order, but instead of masking the first n tokens for n+1, XLNet uses a mask that hides the previous tokens in some given permutation of 1,…,sequence length.
- XLNet also uses the same recurrence mechanism as Transformer-XL to build long-term dependencies.

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

  - `"first"`: Take the first token hidden state (like BERT).
  - `"mean"`: Take the mean of all tokens hidden states.

  For pretraining, it is recommended to set `use_mems_train` to `True`. For fine-tuning, it is recommended to set `use_mems_train` to `False` as discussed here. If `use_mems_train` is set to `True`, one has to make sure that the train batches are correctly pre-processed, e.g. `batch_1 = [[This line is], [This is the]]` and `batch_2 = [[ the first line], [ second line]]` and that all batches are of equal size.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a XLNetModel or a TFXLNetModel. It is used to instantiate a XLNet 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 xlnet-large-cased architecture.

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

Examples:

    >>> from transformers import XLNetConfig, XLNetModel

    >>> # Initializing a XLNet configuration
    >>> configuration = XLNetConfig()

    >>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the configuration
    >>> model = XLNetModel(configuration)

    >>> # Accessing the model configuration
    >>> configuration = model.config

The XLNetModel forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

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.

Example:

    >>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, XLNetModel
    >>> import torch

    >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("xlnet-base-cased")
    >>> model = XLNetModel.from_pretrained("xlnet-base-cased")

    >>> inputs = tokenizer("Hello, my dog is cute", return_tensors="pt")
    >>> outputs = model(**inputs)

    >>> last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state

    >>> next_token_logits = outputs[
    ...     0
    ... ]  # Output has shape [target_mapping.size(0), target_mapping.size(1), config.vocab_size]

( config )

Parameters

- config (XLNetConfig) — 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.

XLNet Model with a sequence classification/regression head on top (a linear layer on top of the pooled output) e.g. for GLUE tasks.

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

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

  Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

  What are input IDs?

- 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?

- mems (`List[torch.FloatTensor]` of length `config.n_layers`) — Contains pre-computed hidden-states (see `mems` output below) . Can be used to speed up sequential decoding. The token ids which have their past given to this model should not be passed as `input_ids` as they have already been computed.

  `use_mems` has to be set to `True` to make use of `mems`.

- perm_mask (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, sequence_length)`, optional) — Mask to indicate the attention pattern for each input token with values selected in `[0, 1]`:
  - if `perm_mask[k, i, j] = 0`, i attend to j in batch k;
  - if `perm_mask[k, i, j] = 1`, i does not attend to j in batch k.

  If not set, each token attends to all the others (full bidirectional attention). Only used during pretraining (to define factorization order) or for sequential decoding (generation).

- target_mapping (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_predict, sequence_length)`, optional) — Mask to indicate the output tokens to use. If `target_mapping[k, i, j] = 1`, the i-th predict in batch k is on the j-th token. Only used during pretraining for partial prediction or for sequential decoding (generation).
- token_type_ids (`torch.LongTensor` 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]`:

- input_mask (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `batch_size, sequence_length`, optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Negative of `attention_mask`, i.e. with 0 for real tokens and 1 for padding which is kept for compatibility with the original code base.

  Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 1 for tokens that are masked,
  - 0 for tokens that are not masked.

  You can only uses one of `input_mask` and `attention_mask`.

- 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.
- 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.
- labels (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size,)`, optional) — Labels for computing the sequence classification/regression loss. Indices should be in `[0, ..., config.num_labels - 1]`.

- mems (`List[torch.FloatTensor]` of length `config.n_layers`) — Contains pre-computed hidden-states. Can be used (see `mems` input) to speed up sequential decoding. The token ids which have their past given to this model should not be passed as `input_ids` as they have already been computed.

- 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)`.

The XLNetForTokenClassification forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

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.

Example:

    >>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, XLNetForTokenClassification
    >>> import torch

    >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("xlnet-base-cased")
    >>> model = XLNetForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("xlnet-base-cased")

    >>> inputs = tokenizer(
    ...     "HuggingFace is a company based in Paris and New York", add_special_tokens=False, return_tensors="pt"
    ... )

    >>> with torch.no_grad():
    ...     logits = model(**inputs).logits

    >>> predicted_token_class_ids = logits.argmax(-1)

    >>> # Note that tokens are classified rather then input words which means that
    >>> # there might be more predicted token classes than words.
    >>> # Multiple token classes might account for the same word
    >>> predicted_tokens_classes = [model.config.id2label[t.item()] for t in predicted_token_class_ids[0]]

class transformers.TFXLNetModel

< source >

( *args **kwargs )

Parameters

- config (XLNetConfig) — 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 bare XLNet 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.

TensorFlow models and layers in `transformers` accept two formats as input:

- having all inputs as keyword arguments (like PyTorch models), or
- having all inputs as a list, tuple or dict in the first positional argument.

The reason the second format is supported is that Keras methods prefer this format when passing inputs to models and layers. Because of this support, when using methods like `model.fit()` things should “just work” for you - just pass your inputs and labels in any format that `model.fit()` supports! If, however, you want to use the second format outside of Keras methods like `fit()` and `predict()`, such as when creating your own layers or models with the Keras `Functional` API, 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(input_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})`

Note that when creating models and layers with subclassing then you don’t need to worry about any of this, as you can just pass inputs like you would to any other Python function!

A transformers.models.xlnet.modeling_tf_xlnet.TFXLNetModelOutput or a tuple of `tf.Tensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various elements depending on the configuration (XLNetConfig) and inputs.

- last_hidden_state (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_predict, hidden_size)`) — Sequence of hidden-states at the last layer of the model.

  `num_predict` corresponds to `target_mapping.shape[1]`. If `target_mapping` is `None`, then `num_predict` corresponds to `sequence_length`.

- mems (`List[tf.Tensor]` of length `config.n_layers`) — Contains pre-computed hidden-states. Can be used (see `mems` input) to speed up sequential decoding. The token ids which have their past given to this model should not be passed as `input_ids` as they have already been computed.

- 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)`.

  Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads.

The TFXLNetModel forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

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.

    >>> import tensorflow as tf

    >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("xlnet-base-cased")
    >>> model = TFXLNetModel.from_pretrained("xlnet-base-cased")

( *args **kwargs )

Parameters

- config (XLNetConfig) — 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.

XLNet Model with a language modeling head on top (linear layer with weights tied to the input embeddings).

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.

TensorFlow models and layers in `transformers` accept two formats as input:

- having all inputs as keyword arguments (like PyTorch models), or
- having all inputs as a list, tuple or dict in the first positional argument.

The reason the second format is supported is that Keras methods prefer this format when passing inputs to models and layers. Because of this support, when using methods like `model.fit()` things should “just work” for you - just pass your inputs and labels in any format that `model.fit()` supports! If, however, you want to use the second format outside of Keras methods like `fit()` and `predict()`, such as when creating your own layers or models with the Keras `Functional` API, 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(input_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})`

Note that when creating models and layers with subclassing then you don’t need to worry about any of this, as you can just pass inputs like you would to any other Python function!

Parameters

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

  Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

  What are input IDs?

- 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?

- mems (`List[torch.FloatTensor]` of length `config.n_layers`) — Contains pre-computed hidden-states (see `mems` output below) . Can be used to speed up sequential decoding. The token ids which have their past given to this model should not be passed as `input_ids` as they have already been computed.

  `use_mems` has to be set to `True` to make use of `mems`.

- perm_mask (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, sequence_length)`, optional) — Mask to indicate the attention pattern for each input token with values selected in `[0, 1]`:
  - if `perm_mask[k, i, j] = 0`, i attend to j in batch k;
  - if `perm_mask[k, i, j] = 1`, i does not attend to j in batch k.

  If not set, each token attends to all the others (full bidirectional attention). Only used during pretraining (to define factorization order) or for sequential decoding (generation).

- target_mapping (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_predict, sequence_length)`, optional) — Mask to indicate the output tokens to use. If `target_mapping[k, i, j] = 1`, the i-th predict in batch k is on the j-th token. Only used during pretraining for partial prediction or for sequential decoding (generation).
- token_type_ids (`torch.LongTensor` 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?

- input_mask (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `batch_size, sequence_length`, optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Negative of `attention_mask`, i.e. with 0 for real tokens and 1 for padding which is kept for compatibility with the original code base.

  Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 1 for tokens that are masked,
  - 0 for tokens that are not masked.

  You can only uses one of `input_mask` and `attention_mask`.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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]`.

- loss (`tf.Tensor` of shape (1,), optional, returned when `labels` is provided) Language modeling loss (for next-token prediction).

- logits (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_predict, config.vocab_size)`) — Prediction scores of the language modeling head (scores for each vocabulary token before SoftMax).

  `num_predict` corresponds to `target_mapping.shape[1]`. If `target_mapping` is `None`, then `num_predict` corresponds to `sequence_length`.

- mems (`List[tf.Tensor]` of length `config.n_layers`) — Contains pre-computed hidden-states. Can be used (see `mems` input) to speed up sequential decoding. The token ids which have their past given to this model should not be passed as `input_ids` as they have already been computed.

- 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)`.

- mems (`List[tf.Tensor]` of length `config.n_layers`) — Contains pre-computed hidden-states. Can be used (see `mems` input) to speed up sequential decoding. The token ids which have their past given to this model should not be passed as `input_ids` as they have already been computed.

- 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)`.

The TFXLNetForMultipleChoice forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

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.

Example:

    >>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, TFXLNetForMultipleChoice
    >>> import tensorflow as tf

    >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("xlnet-base-cased")
    >>> model = TFXLNetForMultipleChoice.from_pretrained("xlnet-base-cased")

    >>> prompt = "In Italy, pizza served in formal settings, such as at a restaurant, is presented unsliced."
    >>> choice0 = "It is eaten with a fork and a knife."
    >>> choice1 = "It is eaten while held in the hand."

    >>> encoding = tokenizer([prompt, prompt], [choice0, choice1], return_tensors="tf", padding=True)
    >>> inputs = {k: tf.expand_dims(v, 0) for k, v in encoding.items()}

class transformers.TFXLNetForTokenClassification

( *args **kwargs )

Parameters

- config (XLNetConfig) — 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.

XLNet 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.

TensorFlow models and layers in `transformers` accept two formats as input:

- having all inputs as keyword arguments (like PyTorch models), or
- having all inputs as a list, tuple or dict in the first positional argument.

The reason the second format is supported is that Keras methods prefer this format when passing inputs to models and layers. Because of this support, when using methods like `model.fit()` things should “just work” for you - just pass your inputs and labels in any format that `model.fit()` supports! If, however, you want to use the second format outside of Keras methods like `fit()` and `predict()`, such as when creating your own layers or models with the Keras `Functional` API, 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(input_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})`

Note that when creating models and layers with subclassing then you don’t need to worry about any of this, as you can just pass inputs like you would to any other Python function!
