Overview

Retrieval-augmented generation (“RAG”) models combine the powers of pretrained dense retrieval (DPR) and sequence-to-sequence models. RAG models retrieve documents, pass them to a seq2seq model, then marginalize to generate outputs. The retriever and seq2seq modules are initialized from pretrained models, and fine-tuned jointly, allowing both retrieval and generation to adapt to downstream tasks.

It is based on the paper Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Knowledge-Intensive NLP Tasks by Patrick Lewis, Ethan Perez, Aleksandara Piktus, Fabio Petroni, Vladimir Karpukhin, Naman Goyal, Heinrich Küttler, Mike Lewis, Wen-tau Yih, Tim Rocktäschel, Sebastian Riedel, Douwe Kiela.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Large pre-trained language models have been shown to store factual knowledge in their parameters, and achieve state-of-the-art results when fine-tuned on downstream NLP tasks. However, their ability to access and precisely manipulate knowledge is still limited, and hence on knowledge-intensive tasks, their performance lags behind task-specific architectures. Additionally, providing provenance for their decisions and updating their world knowledge remain open research problems. Pre-trained models with a differentiable access mechanism to explicit nonparametric memory can overcome this issue, but have so far been only investigated for extractive downstream tasks. We explore a general-purpose fine-tuning recipe for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) — models which combine pre-trained parametric and non-parametric memory for language generation. We introduce RAG models where the parametric memory is a pre-trained seq2seq model and the non-parametric memory is a dense vector index of Wikipedia, accessed with a pre-trained neural retriever. We compare two RAG formulations, one which conditions on the same retrieved passages across the whole generated sequence, the other can use different passages per token. We fine-tune and evaluate our models on a wide range of knowledge-intensive NLP tasks and set the state-of-the-art on three open domain QA tasks, outperforming parametric seq2seq models and task-specific retrieve-and-extract architectures. For language generation tasks, we find that RAG models generate more specific, diverse and factual language than a state-of-the-art parametric-only seq2seq baseline.

This model was contributed by ola13.

Tips:

- Retrieval-augmented generation (“RAG”) models combine the powers of pretrained dense retrieval (DPR) and Seq2Seq models. RAG models retrieve docs, pass them to a seq2seq model, then marginalize to generate outputs. The retriever and seq2seq modules are initialized from pretrained models, and fine-tuned jointly, allowing both retrieval and generation to adapt to downstream tasks.

class transformers.RagRetriever

< source >

( config question_encoder_tokenizer generator_tokenizer index = None init_retrieval = True )

Parameters

- config (RagConfig) — The configuration of the RAG model this Retriever is used with. Contains parameters indicating which `Index` to build. You can load your own custom dataset with `config.index_name="custom"` or use a canonical one (default) from the datasets library with `config.index_name="wiki_dpr"` for example.
- question_encoder_tokenizer (PreTrainedTokenizer) — The tokenizer that was used to tokenize the question. It is used to decode the question and then use the generator_tokenizer.

Retriever used to get documents from vector queries. It retrieves the documents embeddings as well as the documents contents, and it formats them to be used with a RagModel.

Examples:

    >>> # To load the default "wiki_dpr" dataset with 21M passages from wikipedia (index name is 'compressed' or 'exact')
    >>> from transformers import RagRetriever

    ... )

    >>> # To load your own indexed dataset built with the datasets library. More info on how to build the indexed dataset in examples/rag/use_own_knowledge_dataset.py
    >>> from transformers import RagRetriever

    >>> dataset = (
    ...     ...
    ... )  # dataset must be a datasets.Datasets object with columns "title", "text" and "embeddings", and it must have a faiss index
    >>> retriever = RagRetriever.from_pretrained("facebook/dpr-ctx_encoder-single-nq-base", indexed_dataset=dataset)

    >>> # To load your own indexed dataset built with the datasets library that was saved on disk. More info in examples/rag/use_own_knowledge_dataset.py
    >>> from transformers import RagRetriever

    >>> dataset_path = "path/to/my/dataset"  # dataset saved via *dataset.save_to_disk(...)*
    >>> index_path = "path/to/my/index.faiss"  # faiss index saved via *dataset.get_index("embeddings").save(...)*
    >>> retriever = RagRetriever.from_pretrained(
    ...     "facebook/dpr-ctx_encoder-single-nq-base",
    ...     index_name="custom",
    ...     passages_path=dataset_path,
    ...     index_path=index_path,
    ... )

    >>> # To load the legacy index built originally for Rag's paper
    >>> from transformers import RagRetriever

    >>> retriever = RagRetriever.from_pretrained("facebook/dpr-ctx_encoder-single-nq-base", index_name="legacy")

RagModel

class transformers.RagModel

< source >

( config: typing.Optional[transformers.configuration_utils.PretrainedConfig] = None question_encoder: typing.Optional[transformers.modeling_utils.PreTrainedModel] = None generator: typing.Optional[transformers.modeling_utils.PreTrainedModel] = None retriever: typing.Optional[transformers.models.rag.retrieval_rag.RagRetriever] = None **kwargs )

Parameters

- config (RagConfig) — 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.
- question_encoder (PreTrainedModel) — An encoder model compatible with the faiss index encapsulated by the `retriever`.
- generator (PreTrainedModel) — A seq2seq model used as the generator in the RAG architecture.
- retriever (RagRetriever) — A retriever class encapsulating a faiss index queried to obtain context documents for current inputs.

The RagModel 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.

RAG is a seq2seq model which encapsulates two core components: a question encoder and a generator. During a forward pass, we encode the input with the question encoder and pass it to the retriever to extract relevant context documents. The documents are then prepended to the input. Such contextualized inputs is passed to the generator.

The question encoder can be any autoencoding model, preferably DPRQuestionEncoder, and the generator can be any seq2seq model, preferably BartForConditionalGeneration.

The model can be initialized with a RagRetriever for end-to-end generation or used in combination with the outputs of a retriever in multiple steps---see examples for more details. The model is compatible any autoencoding model as the `question_encoder` and any seq2seq model with language model head as the `generator`. It has been tested with DPRQuestionEncoder as the `question_encoder` and BartForConditionalGeneration or T5ForConditionalGeneration as the `generator`.

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.

transformers.models.rag.modeling_rag.RetrievAugLMOutput or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`

Parameters

- input_ids (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. RagConfig, used to initialize the model, specifies which generator to use, it also specifies a compatible generator tokenizer. Use that tokenizer class to obtain the indices.

  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?

- encoder_outputs (`tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, optional) — Tuple consists of (`generator_enc_last_hidden_state`, optional: `generator_enc_hidden_states`, optional: `generator_enc_attentions`). `generator_enc_last_hidden_state` of shape `(batch_size, n_docs * sequence_length, hidden_size)` is a sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the generator’s encoder.

  Used by the (RagModel) model during decoding.

- decoder_input_ids (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length)`, optional) — Provide for generation tasks. `None` by default, construct as per instructions for the generator model you’re using with your RAG instance.
- decoder_attention_mask (`torch.BoolTensor` 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.
- past_key_values (`tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor))`) — Tuple consists of two elements: `encoder_outputs` of the RAG model (see `encoder_outputs`) and `past_key_values` of the underlying generator. Can be used to speed up decoding. `past_key_values` are used in the (RagTokenForGeneration) model during decoding.
- doc_scores (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, config.n_docs)`) — Score between each retrieved document embeddings (see `retrieved_doc_embeds`) and `question_encoder_last_hidden_state`. If the model has is not initialized with a `retriever` `doc_scores` has to be provided to the forward pass. `doc_scores` can be computed via `question_encoder_last_hidden_state` and `retrieved_doc_embeds`, see examples for more information.

The RagModel 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, RagRetriever, RagModel
    >>> import torch

    >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/rag-token-base")
    >>> retriever = RagRetriever.from_pretrained(
    ...     "facebook/rag-token-base", index_name="exact", use_dummy_dataset=True
    ... )
    >>> # initialize with RagRetriever to do everything in one forward call
    >>> model = RagModel.from_pretrained("facebook/rag-token-base", retriever=retriever)

Parameters

- config (RagConfig) — 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.

- generator (PreTrainedModel) — A seq2seq model used as the generator in the RAG architecture.
- retriever (RagRetriever) — A retriever class encapsulating a faiss index queried to obtain context documents for current inputs.

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.

A RAG-sequence model implementation. It performs RAG-sequence specific marginalization in the forward pass.

RAG is a seq2seq model which encapsulates two core components: a question encoder and a generator. During a forward pass, we encode the input with the question encoder and pass it to the retriever to extract relevant context documents. The documents are then prepended to the input. Such contextualized inputs is passed to the generator.

The question encoder can be any autoencoding model, preferably DPRQuestionEncoder, and the generator can be any seq2seq model, preferably BartForConditionalGeneration.

The model can be initialized with a RagRetriever for end-to-end generation or used in combination with the outputs of a retriever in multiple steps---see examples for more details. The model is compatible any autoencoding model as the `question_encoder` and any seq2seq model with language model head as the `generator`. It has been tested with DPRQuestionEncoder as the `question_encoder` and BartForConditionalGeneration or T5ForConditionalGeneration as the `generator`.

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.

The RagTokenForGeneration 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, RagRetriever, RagTokenForGeneration
    >>> import torch

    >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/rag-token-nq")
    >>> retriever = RagRetriever.from_pretrained(
    ...     "facebook/rag-token-nq", index_name="exact", use_dummy_dataset=True
    ... )
    >>> # initialize with RagRetriever to do everything in one forward call
    >>> model = RagTokenForGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/rag-token-nq", retriever=retriever)

    >>> inputs = tokenizer("How many people live in Paris?", return_tensors="pt")
    >>> targets = tokenizer(text_target="In Paris, there are 10 million people.", return_tensors="pt")
    >>> input_ids = inputs["input_ids"]
    >>> labels = targets["input_ids"]
    >>> outputs = model(input_ids=input_ids, labels=labels)

    >>> # or use retriever separately
    >>> model = RagTokenForGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/rag-token-nq", use_dummy_dataset=True)
    >>> # 1. Encode
    >>> question_hidden_states = model.question_encoder(input_ids)[0]
    >>> # 2. Retrieve
    >>> docs_dict = retriever(input_ids.numpy(), question_hidden_states.detach().numpy(), return_tensors="pt")
    >>> doc_scores = torch.bmm(
    ...     question_hidden_states.unsqueeze(1), docs_dict["retrieved_doc_embeds"].float().transpose(1, 2)
    ... ).squeeze(1)
    >>> # 3. Forward to generator
    >>> outputs = model(
    ...     context_input_ids=docs_dict["context_input_ids"],
    ...     context_attention_mask=docs_dict["context_attention_mask"],
    ...     doc_scores=doc_scores,
    ...     decoder_input_ids=labels,
    ... )

    >>> # or directly generate
    >>> generated = model.generate(
    ...     context_input_ids=docs_dict["context_input_ids"],
    ...     context_attention_mask=docs_dict["context_attention_mask"],
    ...     doc_scores=doc_scores,
    ... )
    >>> generated_string = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated, skip_special_tokens=True)

Parameters

- input_ids (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, optional) — The sequence used as a prompt for the generation. If `input_ids` is not passed, then `context_input_ids` has to be provided.

TFRagModel

###
class transformers.TFRagModel

< source >

( *args **kwargs )

Parameters

- config (RagConfig) — 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.
- question_encoder (TFPreTrainedModel) — An encoder model compatible with the faiss index encapsulated by the `retriever`.
- generator (TFPreTrainedModel) — A seq2seq model used as the generator in the RAG architecture.
- retriever (RagRetriever) — A retriever class encapsulating a faiss index queried to obtain context documents for current inputs.

The TFRagModel 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.

RAG is a sequence-to-sequence model which encapsulates two core components: a question encoder and a generator. During a forward pass, we encode the input with the question encoder and pass it to the retriever to extract relevant context documents. The documents are then prepended to the input. Such contextualized inputs is passed to the generator.

The question encoder can be any autoencoding model, preferably TFDPRQuestionEncoder, and the generator can be any seq2seq model, preferably TFBartForConditionalGeneration.

The model can be initialized with a RagRetriever for end-to-end generation or used in combination with the outputs of a retriever in multiple steps---see examples for more details. The model is compatible any autoencoding model as the `question_encoder` and any seq2seq model with language model head as the `generator`. It has been tested with TFDPRQuestionEncoder as the `question_encoder` and TFBartForConditionalGeneration as the `generator`.

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 Tensorflow 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.

The model is in a developing state as it is now fully supports in eager-mode only, and may not be exported in SavedModel format.

( *args **kwargs )

Parameters

- config (RagConfig) — 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.
- question_encoder (TFPreTrainedModel) — An encoder model compatible with the faiss index encapsulated by the `retriever`.
- generator (TFPreTrainedModel) — A seq2seq model used as the generator in the RAG architecture.
- retriever (RagRetriever) — A retriever class encapsulating a faiss index queried to obtain context documents for current inputs.

The TFRagSequenceForGeneration 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.

A TF RAG-sequence model implementation. It performs RAG-sequence specific marginalization in the forward pass.

RAG is a sequence-to-sequence model which encapsulates two core components: a question encoder and a generator. During a forward pass, we encode the input with the question encoder and pass it to the retriever to extract relevant context documents. The documents are then prepended to the input. Such contextualized inputs is passed to the generator.

The question encoder can be any autoencoding model, preferably TFDPRQuestionEncoder, and the generator can be any seq2seq model, preferably TFBartForConditionalGeneration.

The model can be initialized with a RagRetriever for end-to-end generation or used in combination with the outputs of a retriever in multiple steps---see examples for more details. The model is compatible any autoencoding model as the `question_encoder` and any seq2seq model with language model head as the `generator`. It has been tested with TFDPRQuestionEncoder as the `question_encoder` and TFBartForConditionalGeneration as the `generator`.

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 Tensorflow 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.

The model is in a developing state as it is now fully supports in eager-mode only, and may not be exported in SavedModel format.

The TFRagTokenForGeneration 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:

    >>> import tensorflow as tf
    >>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, RagRetriever, TFRagTokenForGeneration

    >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/rag-token-nq")
    >>> retriever = RagRetriever.from_pretrained(
    ...     "facebook/rag-token-nq", index_name="exact", use_dummy_dataset=True
    ... )
    >>> # initialize with RagRetriever to do everything in one forward call
    >>> model = TFRagTokenForGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/rag-token-nq", retriever=retriever, from_pt=True)

    >>> input_dict = tokenizer.prepare_seq2seq_batch(
    ...     "How many people live in Paris?", "In Paris, there are 10 million people.", return_tensors="tf"
    ... )
    >>> outputs = model(input_dict, output_retrieved=True)

    >>> # or use retriever separately
    >>> # 1. Encode
    >>> input_ids = input_dict["input_ids"]
    >>> question_hidden_states = model.question_encoder(input_ids)[0]
    >>> # 2. Retrieve
    >>> docs_dict = retriever(input_ids.numpy(), question_hidden_states.numpy(), return_tensors="tf")
    >>> doc_scores = tf.squeeze(
    ...     tf.matmul(
    ...         tf.expand_dims(question_hidden_states, axis=1), docs_dict["retrieved_doc_embeds"], transpose_b=True
    ...     ),
    ...     axis=1,
    ... )
    >>> # 3. Forward to generator
    >>> outputs = model(
    ...     inputs=None,
    ...     context_input_ids=docs_dict["context_input_ids"],
    ...     context_attention_mask=docs_dict["context_attention_mask"],
    ...     doc_scores=doc_scores,
    ...     decoder_input_ids=input_dict["labels"],
    ... )

    >>> # or directly generate
    >>> generated = model.generate(
    ...     context_input_ids=docs_dict["context_input_ids"],
    ...     context_attention_mask=docs_dict["context_attention_mask"],
    ...     doc_scores=doc_scores,
    ... )
    >>> generated_string = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated, skip_special_tokens=True)

`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size * num_return_sequences, sequence_length)`

Parameters

- input_ids (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, optional) — The sequence used as a prompt for the generation. If `input_ids` is not passed, then `context_input_ids` has to be provided.
- 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?

- context_input_ids (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size * config.n_docs, config.max_combined_length)`, optional, returned when output_retrieved=True) — Input IDs post-processed from the retrieved documents and the question encoder `input_ids` by the retriever.

  If the model has is not initialized with a `retriever`, `context_input_ids` has to be provided to the forward pass. `context_input_ids` are returned by `__call__()`.

- context_attention_mask (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size * config.n_docs, config.max_combined_length)`, optional, returned when output_retrieved=True) — Attention mask post-processed from the retrieved documents and the question encoder `input_ids` by the retriever.

  If the model has is not initialized with a `retriever`, `context_input_ids` has to be provided to the forward pass. `context_input_ids` are returned by `__call__()`.

- doc_scores (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, config.n_docs)`) — Score between each retrieved document embeddings (see `retrieved_doc_embeds`) and `question_encoder_last_hidden_state`.

  If the model has is not initialized with a `retriever`, `context_input_ids` has to be provided to the forward pass. `context_input_ids` are returned by `__call__()`.

- n_docs (`int`, optional, defaults to `config.n_docs`) — Number of documents to retrieve and/or number of documents for which to generate an answer.
- generation_config (`~generation.GenerationConfig`, optional) — The generation configuration to be used as base parametrization for the generation call. `**kwargs` passed to generate matching the attributes of `generation_config` will override them. If `generation_config` is not provided, the default will be used, which had the following loading priority: 1) from the `generation_config.json` model file, if it exists; 2) from the model configuration. Please note that unspecified parameters will inherit GenerationConfig’s default values, whose documentation should be checked to parameterize generation.
- logits_processor (`TFLogitsProcessorList`, optional) — Custom logits processors that complement the default logits processors built from arguments and a model’s config. If a logit processor is passed that is already created with the arguments or a model’s config an error is thrown.
- kwargs (`Dict[str, Any]`, optional) — Ad hoc parametrization of `generate_config` and/or additional model-specific kwargs that will be forwarded to the `forward` function of the model.

Returns

`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size * num_return_sequences, sequence_length)`

The generated sequences. The second dimension (sequence_length) is either equal to `max_length` or shorter if all batches finished early due to the `eos_token_id`.

Implements TFRAG token decoding.
