GenerationConfig

###
class transformers.GenerationConfig

< source >

( **kwargs )

Parameters that control the length of the output

- max_length (`int`, optional, defaults to 20) — The maximum length the generated tokens can have. Corresponds to the length of the input prompt + `max_new_tokens`. Its effect is overridden by `max_new_tokens`, if also set.
- max_new_tokens (`int`, optional) — The maximum numbers of tokens to generate, ignoring the number of tokens in the prompt.
- min_length (`int`, optional, defaults to 0) — The minimum length of the sequence to be generated. Corresponds to the length of the input prompt + `min_new_tokens`. Its effect is overridden by `min_new_tokens`, if also set.
- min_new_tokens (`int`, optional) — The minimum numbers of tokens to generate, ignoring the number of tokens in the prompt.
- early_stopping (`bool` or `str`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Controls the stopping condition for beam-based methods, like beam-search. It accepts the following values: `True`, where the generation stops as soon as there are `num_beams` complete candidates; `False`, where an heuristic is applied and the generation stops when is it very unlikely to find better candidates; `"never"`, where the beam search procedure only stops when there cannot be better candidates (canonical beam search algorithm).
- max_time(`float`, optional) — The maximum amount of time you allow the computation to run for in seconds. generation will still finish the current pass after allocated time has been passed.
- stop_strings(`str or List[str]`, optional) — A string or a list of strings that should terminate generation if the model outputs them.

Parameters that control the generation strategy used

- do_sample (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to use sampling ; use greedy decoding otherwise.
- num_beams (`int`, optional, defaults to 1) — Number of beams for beam search. 1 means no beam search.
- num_beam_groups (`int`, optional, defaults to 1) — Number of groups to divide `num_beams` into in order to ensure diversity among different groups of beams. this paper for more details.
- penalty_alpha (`float`, optional) — The values balance the model confidence and the degeneration penalty in contrastive search decoding.
- use_cache (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not the model should use the past last key/values attentions (if applicable to the model) to speed up decoding.

Parameters for manipulation of the model output logits

- temperature (`float`, optional, defaults to 1.0) — The value used to modulate the next token probabilities.
- top_k (`int`, optional, defaults to 50) — The number of highest probability vocabulary tokens to keep for top-k-filtering.
- top_p (`float`, optional, defaults to 1.0) — If set to float < 1, only the smallest set of most probable tokens with probabilities that add up to `top_p` or higher are kept for generation.
- min_p (`float`, optional) — Minimum token probability, which will be scaled by the probability of the most likely token. It must be a value between 0 and 1. Typical values are in the 0.01-0.2 range, comparably selective as setting `top_p` in the 0.99-0.8 range (use the opposite of normal `top_p` values).
- typical_p (`float`, optional, defaults to 1.0) — Local typicality measures how similar the conditional probability of predicting a target token next is to the expected conditional probability of predicting a random token next, given the partial text already generated. If set to float < 1, the smallest set of the most locally typical tokens with probabilities that add up to `typical_p` or higher are kept for generation. See this paper for more details.
- epsilon_cutoff (`float`, optional, defaults to 0.0) — If set to float strictly between 0 and 1, only tokens with a conditional probability greater than `epsilon_cutoff` will be sampled. In the paper, suggested values range from 3e-4 to 9e-4, depending on the size of the model. See Truncation Sampling as Language Model Desmoothing for more details.
- eta_cutoff (`float`, optional, defaults to 0.0) — Eta sampling is a hybrid of locally typical sampling and epsilon sampling. If set to float strictly between 0 and 1, a token is only considered if it is greater than either `eta_cutoff` or `sqrt(eta_cutoff) * exp(-entropy(softmax(next_token_logits)))`. The latter term is intuitively the expected next token probability, scaled by `sqrt(eta_cutoff)`. In the paper, suggested values range from 3e-4 to 2e-3, depending on the size of the model. See Truncation Sampling as Language Model Desmoothing for more details.
- diversity_penalty (`float`, optional, defaults to 0.0) — This value is subtracted from a beam’s score if it generates a token same as any beam from other group at a particular time. Note that `diversity_penalty` is only effective if `group beam search` is enabled.
- repetition_penalty (`float`, optional, defaults to 1.0) — The parameter for repetition penalty. 1.0 means no penalty. See this paper for more details.
- encoder_repetition_penalty (`float`, optional, defaults to 1.0) — The paramater for encoder_repetition_penalty. An exponential penalty on sequences that are not in the original input. 1.0 means no penalty.
- length_penalty (`float`, optional, defaults to 1.0) — Exponential penalty to the length that is used with beam-based generation. It is applied as an exponent to the sequence length, which in turn is used to divide the score of the sequence. Since the score is the log likelihood of the sequence (i.e. negative), `length_penalty` > 0.0 promotes longer sequences, while `length_penalty` < 0.0 encourages shorter sequences.
- no_repeat_ngram_size (`int`, optional, defaults to 0) — If set to int > 0, all ngrams of that size can only occur once.
- bad_words_ids(`List[List[int]]`, optional) — List of list of token ids that are not allowed to be generated. Check NoBadWordsLogitsProcessor for further documentation and examples.
- force_words_ids(`List[List[int]]` or `List[List[List[int]]]`, optional) — List of token ids that must be generated. If given a `List[List[int]]`, this is treated as a simple list of words that must be included, the opposite to `bad_words_ids`. If given `List[List[List[int]]]`, this triggers a disjunctive constraint, where one can allow different forms of each word.
- renormalize_logits (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether to renormalize the logits after applying all the logits processors or warpers (including the custom ones). It’s highly recommended to set this flag to `True` as the search algorithms suppose the score logits are normalized but some logit processors or warpers break the normalization.
- constraints (`List[Constraint]`, optional) — Custom constraints that can be added to the generation to ensure that the output will contain the use of certain tokens as defined by `Constraint` objects, in the most sensible way possible.
- forced_bos_token_id (`int`, optional, defaults to `model.config.forced_bos_token_id`) — The id of the token to force as the first generated token after the `decoder_start_token_id`. Useful for multilingual models like mBART where the first generated token needs to be the target language token.
- forced_eos_token_id (`Union[int, List[int]]`, optional, defaults to `model.config.forced_eos_token_id`) — The id of the token to force as the last generated token when `max_length` is reached. Optionally, use a list to set multiple end-of-sequence tokens.
- remove_invalid_values (`bool`, optional, defaults to `model.config.remove_invalid_values`) — Whether to remove possible nan and inf outputs of the model to prevent the generation method to crash. Note that using `remove_invalid_values` can slow down generation.
- exponential_decay_length_penalty (`tuple(int, float)`, optional) — This Tuple adds an exponentially increasing length penalty, after a certain amount of tokens have been generated. The tuple shall consist of: `(start_index, decay_factor)` where `start_index` indicates where penalty starts and `decay_factor` represents the factor of exponential decay
- suppress_tokens (`List[int]`, optional) — A list of tokens that will be suppressed at generation. The `SupressTokens` logit processor will set their log probs to `-inf` so that they are not sampled.
- begin_suppress_tokens (`List[int]`, optional) — A list of tokens that will be suppressed at the beginning of the generation. The `SupressBeginTokens` logit processor will set their log probs to `-inf` so that they are not sampled.
- forced_decoder_ids (`List[List[int]]`, optional) — A list of pairs of integers which indicates a mapping from generation indices to token indices that will be forced before sampling. For example, `[[1, 123]]` means the second generated token will always be a token of index 123.
- sequence_bias (`Dict[Tuple[int], float]`, optional)) — Dictionary that maps a sequence of tokens to its bias term. Positive biases increase the odds of the sequence being selected, while negative biases do the opposite. Check SequenceBiasLogitsProcessor for further documentation and examples.
- token_healing (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Heal tail tokens of prompts by replacing them with their appropriate extensions. This enhances the quality of completions for prompts affected by greedy tokenization bias.
- guidance_scale (`float`, optional) — The guidance scale for classifier free guidance (CFG). CFG is enabled by setting `guidance_scale > 1`. Higher guidance scale encourages the model to generate samples that are more closely linked to the input prompt, usually at the expense of poorer quality.
- low_memory (`bool`, optional) — Switch to sequential beam search and sequential topk for contrastive search to reduce peak memory. Used with beam search and contrastive search.
- watermarking_config (Union[`WatermarkingConfig`, `dict`], optional) — Arguments used to watermark the model outputs by adding a small bias to randomly selected set of “green” tokens. If passed as `Dict`, it will be converted to a `WatermarkingConfig` internally. See this paper for more details. Accepts the following keys:
  - greenlist_ratio (`float`): Used for watermarking. The ratio of “green” tokens used to the vocabulary size. Defaults to 0.25.
  - bias (`float`): Used with watermarking. The bias added to the selected “green” tokens’ logits. Defaults to 2.0.
  - hashing_key (`int`): Hahsing key used for watermarking. Defaults to 15485863 (the millionth prime).
  - seeding_scheme (`str`): Algorithm to use for watermarking. Accepts values:
    - “lefthash” (default): “green” tokens selection depend on the last token (Algorithm 2 from the paper)
    - “selfhash”: “green” tokens selection depends on the current token itself (Algorithm 3 from the paper) The downside of this scheme is that it considers all possible next tokens and can be slower than “lefthash”.
  - context_width(`int`): The context length of previous tokens to use in seeding. Higher context length makes watermarking more robust.

Parameters that define the output variables of generate

- num_return_sequences(`int`, optional, defaults to 1) — The number of independently computed returned sequences for each element in the batch.
- output_attentions (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See `attentions` under returned tensors for more details.
- output_hidden_states (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See `hidden_states` under returned tensors for more details.
- output_scores (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to return the prediction scores. See `scores` under returned tensors for more details.
- output_logits (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return the unprocessed prediction logit scores. See `logits` under returned tensors for more details.
- return_dict_in_generate (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.

Special tokens that can be used at generation time

- pad_token_id (`int`, optional) — The id of the padding token.
- bos_token_id (`int`, optional) — The id of the beginning-of-sequence token.
- eos_token_id (`Union[int, List[int]]`, optional) — The id of the end-of-sequence token. Optionally, use a list to set multiple end-of-sequence tokens.

Generation parameters exclusive to encoder-decoder models

- encoder_no_repeat_ngram_size (`int`, optional, defaults to 0) — If set to int > 0, all ngrams of that size that occur in the `encoder_input_ids` cannot occur in the `decoder_input_ids`.
- decoder_start_token_id (`Union[int, List[int]]`, optional) — If an encoder-decoder model starts decoding with a different token than bos, the id of that token or a list of length `batch_size`. Indicating a list enables different start ids for each element in the batch (e.g. multilingual models with different target languages in one batch)

Generation parameters exclusive to assistant generation

- num_assistant_tokens (`int`, optional, defaults to 5) — Defines the number of speculative tokens that shall be generated by the assistant model before being checked by the target model at each iteration. Higher values for `num_assistant_tokens` make the generation more speculative : If the assistant model is performant larger speed-ups can be reached, if the assistant model requires lots of corrections, lower speed-ups are reached.
- num_assistant_tokens_schedule (`str`, optional, defaults to `"heuristic"`) — Defines the schedule at which max assistant tokens shall be changed during inference.
  - `"heuristic"`: When all speculative tokens are correct, increase `num_assistant_tokens` by 2 else reduce by 1. `num_assistant_tokens` value is persistent over multiple generation calls with the same assistant model.
  - `"heuristic_transient"`: Same as `"heuristic"` but `num_assistant_tokens` is reset to its initial value after each generation call.
  - `"constant"`: `num_assistant_tokens` stays unchanged during generation
- prompt_lookup_num_tokens (`int`, optional, default to `None`) — The number of tokens to be output as candidate tokens.
- max_matching_ngram_size (`int`, optional, default to `None`) — The maximum ngram size to be considered for matching in the prompt. Default to 2 if not provided.

Parameters specific to the caching mechanism

- cache_implementation (`str`, optional, default to `None`) — Cache class that should be used when generating.
- cache_config (`Union[CacheConfig, dict]`, optional, default to `None`) — Arguments used in the key-value cache class can be passed in `cache_config`. Can be passed as a `Dict` and it will be converted to its repsective `CacheConfig` internally. Otherwise can be passed as a `CacheConfig` class matching the indicated `cache_implementation`.
- return_legacy_cache (`bool`, optional, default to `True`) — Whether to return the legacy or new format of the cache when `DynamicCache` is used by default.

Wild card

Class that holds a configuration for a generation task. A `generate` call supports the following generation methods for text-decoder, text-to-text, speech-to-text, and vision-to-text models:

- greedy decoding if `num_beams=1` and `do_sample=False`
- contrastive search if `penalty_alpha>0.` and `top_k>1`
- multinomial sampling if `num_beams=1` and `do_sample=True`
- beam-search decoding if `num_beams>1` and `do_sample=False`
- beam-search multinomial sampling if `num_beams>1` and `do_sample=True`
- diverse beam-search decoding if `num_beams>1` and `num_beam_groups>1`
- constrained beam-search decoding if `constraints!=None` or `force_words_ids!=None`
- assisted decoding if `assistant_model` or `prompt_lookup_num_tokens` is passed to `.generate()`

To learn more about decoding strategies refer to the text generation strategies guide.

A large number of these flags control the logits or the stopping criteria of the generation. Make sure you check the generate-related classes for a full description of the possible manipulations, as well as examples of their usage.

####
generate

< source >

( inputs: Optional = None generation_config: Optional = None logits_processor: Optional = None stopping_criteria: Optional = None prefix_allowed_tokens_fn: Optional = None synced_gpus: Optional = None assistant_model: Optional = None streamer: Optional = None negative_prompt_ids: Optional = None negative_prompt_attention_mask: Optional = None **kwargs ) →
ModelOutput or `torch.LongTensor`

Parameters

- inputs (`torch.Tensor` of varying shape depending on the modality, optional) — The sequence used as a prompt for the generation or as model inputs to the encoder. If `None` the method initializes it with `bos_token_id` and a batch size of 1. For decoder-only models `inputs` should be in the format of `input_ids`. For encoder-decoder models inputs can represent any of `input_ids`, `input_values`, `input_features`, or `pixel_values`.
- generation_config (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 has 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 (`LogitsProcessorList`, optional) — Custom logits processors that complement the default logits processors built from arguments and generation config. If a logit processor is passed that is already created with the arguments or a generation config an error is thrown. This feature is intended for advanced users.
- stopping_criteria (`StoppingCriteriaList`, optional) — Custom stopping criteria that complements the default stopping criteria built from arguments and a generation config. If a stopping criteria is passed that is already created with the arguments or a generation config an error is thrown. If your stopping criteria depends on the `scores` input, make sure you pass `return_dict_in_generate=True, output_scores=True` to `generate`. This feature is intended for advanced users.
- prefix_allowed_tokens_fn (`Callable[[int, torch.Tensor], List[int]]`, optional) — If provided, this function constraints the beam search to allowed tokens only at each step. If not provided no constraint is applied. This function takes 2 arguments: the batch ID `batch_id` and `input_ids`. It has to return a list with the allowed tokens for the next generation step conditioned on the batch ID `batch_id` and the previously generated tokens `inputs_ids`. This argument is useful for constrained generation conditioned on the prefix, as described in Autoregressive Entity Retrieval.
- synced_gpus (`bool`, optional) — Whether to continue running the while loop until max_length. Unless overridden this flag will be set to `True` under DeepSpeed ZeRO Stage 3 multiple GPUs environment to avoid hanging if one GPU finished generating before other GPUs. Otherwise it’ll be set to `False`.
- assistant_model (`PreTrainedModel`, optional) — An assistant model that can be used to accelerate generation. The assistant model must have the exact same tokenizer. The acceleration is achieved when forecasting candidate tokens with the assistent model is much faster than running generation with the model you’re calling generate from. As such, the assistant model should be much smaller.
- streamer (`BaseStreamer`, optional) — Streamer object that will be used to stream the generated sequences. Generated tokens are passed through `streamer.put(token_ids)` and the streamer is responsible for any further processing.
- negative_prompt_ids (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, optional) — The negative prompt needed for some processors such as CFG. The batch size must match the input batch size. This is an experimental feature, subject to breaking API changes in future versions.
- negative_prompt_attention_mask (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, optional) — Attention_mask for `negative_prompt_ids`.
- kwargs (`Dict[str, Any]`, optional) — Ad hoc parametrization of `generation_config` and/or additional model-specific kwargs that will be forwarded to the `forward` function of the model. If the model is an encoder-decoder model, encoder specific kwargs should not be prefixed and decoder specific kwargs should be prefixed with decoder_.

Returns

ModelOutput or `torch.LongTensor`

A ModelOutput (if `return_dict_in_generate=True` or when `config.return_dict_in_generate=True`) or a `torch.LongTensor`.

If the model is not an encoder-decoder model (`model.config.is_encoder_decoder=False`), the possible ModelOutput types are:

- GenerateDecoderOnlyOutput,
- GenerateBeamDecoderOnlyOutput

If the model is an encoder-decoder model (`model.config.is_encoder_decoder=True`), the possible ModelOutput types are:

- GenerateEncoderDecoderOutput,
- GenerateBeamEncoderDecoderOutput

Generates sequences of token ids for models with a language modeling head.

Most generation-controlling parameters are set in `generation_config` which, if not passed, will be set to the model’s default generation configuration. You can override any `generation_config` by passing the corresponding parameters to generate(), e.g. `.generate(inputs, num_beams=4, do_sample=True)`.

####
compute_transition_scores

< source >

( sequences: Tensor scores: Tuple beam_indices: Optional = None normalize_logits: bool = False ) →
`torch.Tensor`

Parameters

- sequences (`torch.LongTensor`) — 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`.
- scores (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`) — Transition scores for each vocabulary token at each generation step. Beam transition scores consisting of log probabilities of tokens conditioned on log softmax of previously generated tokens in this beam. Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` with up to `max_new_tokens` elements (one element for each generated token), with each tensor of shape `(batch_size*num_beams, config.vocab_size)`.
- beam_indices (`torch.LongTensor`, optional) — Beam indices of generated token id at each generation step. `torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size*num_return_sequences, sequence_length)`. Only required if a `num_beams>1` at generate-time.
- normalize_logits (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether to normalize the logits (which, for legacy reasons, may be unnormalized).

Returns

`torch.Tensor`

A `torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size*num_return_sequences, sequence_length)` containing the transition scores (logits)

Computes the transition scores of sequences given the generation scores (and beam indices, if beam search was used). This is a convenient method to quicky obtain the scores of the selected tokens at generation time.

Examples:

    >>> from transformers import GPT2Tokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
    >>> import numpy as np

    >>> tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained("gpt2")
    >>> model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("openai-community/gpt2")
    >>> tokenizer.pad_token_id = tokenizer.eos_token_id
    >>> inputs = tokenizer(["Today is"], return_tensors="pt")

    >>> # Example 1: Print the scores for each token generated with Greedy Search
    >>> outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=5, return_dict_in_generate=True, output_scores=True)
    >>> transition_scores = model.compute_transition_scores(
    ...     outputs.sequences, outputs.scores, normalize_logits=True
    ... )
    >>> # input_length is the length of the input prompt for decoder-only models, like the GPT family, and 1 for
    >>> # encoder-decoder models, like BART or T5.
    >>> input_length = 1 if model.config.is_encoder_decoder else inputs.input_ids.shape[1]
    >>> generated_tokens = outputs.sequences[:, input_length:]
    >>> for tok, score in zip(generated_tokens[0], transition_scores[0]):
    ...     # | token | token string | log probability | probability
    ...     print(f"| {tok:5d} | {tokenizer.decode(tok):8s} | {score.numpy():.3f} | {np.exp(score.numpy()):.2%}")

TFGenerationMixin

###
class transformers.TFGenerationMixin

< source >

( )

A class containing all of the functions supporting generation, to be used as a mixin in TFPreTrainedModel.

The class exposes generate(), which can be used for:

- greedy decoding by calling `greedy_search()` if `num_beams=1` and `do_sample=False`
- contrastive search by calling `contrastive_search()` if `penalty_alpha>0` and `top_k>1`
- multinomial sampling by calling `sample()` if `num_beams=1` and `do_sample=True`
- beam-search decoding by calling `beam_search()` if `num_beams>1`

You do not need to call any of the above methods directly. Pass custom parameter values to ‘generate’ instead. To learn more about decoding strategies refer to the text generation strategies guide.

####
generate

< source >

( inputs: Optional = None generation_config: Optional = None logits_processor: Optional = None seed = None **kwargs ) →
ModelOutput or `tf.Tensor`

Parameters

- inputs (`tf.Tensor` of varying shape depending on the modality, optional) — The sequence used as a prompt for the generation or as model inputs to the encoder. If `None` the method initializes it with `bos_token_id` and a batch size of 1. For decoder-only models `inputs` should of in the format of `input_ids`. For encoder-decoder models inputs can represent any of `input_ids`, `input_values`, `input_features`, or `pixel_values`.
- 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 (`LogitsProcessorList`, optional) — Custom logits processors that complement the default logits processors built from arguments and generation config. If a logit processor is passed that is already created with the arguments or a generation config an error is thrown. This feature is intended for advanced users.
- seed (`List[int]`, optional) — Random seed to control sampling, containing two integers, used when `do_sample` is `True`. See the `seed` argument from stateless functions in `tf.random`.
- 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. If the model is an encoder-decoder model, encoder specific kwargs should not be prefixed and decoder specific kwargs should be prefixed with decoder_.

Returns

ModelOutput or `tf.Tensor`

A ModelOutput (if `return_dict_in_generate=True` or when `config.return_dict_in_generate=True`) or a `tf.Tensor`.

If the model is not an encoder-decoder model (`model.config.is_encoder_decoder=False`), the possible ModelOutput types are:

- TFGreedySearchDecoderOnlyOutput,
- TFSampleDecoderOnlyOutput,
- TFBeamSearchDecoderOnlyOutput,
- TFBeamSampleDecoderOnlyOutput

If the model is an encoder-decoder model (`model.config.is_encoder_decoder=True`), the possible ModelOutput types are:

- TFGreedySearchEncoderDecoderOutput,
- TFSampleEncoderDecoderOutput,
- TFBeamSearchEncoderDecoderOutput,
- TFBeamSampleEncoderDecoderOutput

Generates sequences of token ids for models with a language modeling head.

Most generation-controlling parameters are set in `generation_config` which, if not passed, will be set to the model’s default generation configuration. You can override any `generation_config` by passing the corresponding parameters to generate, e.g. `.generate(inputs, num_beams=4, do_sample=True)`.

####
compute_transition_scores

< source >

( sequences: Tensor scores: Tuple beam_indices: Optional = None normalize_logits: bool = False ) →
`tf.Tensor`

Parameters

- sequences (`tf.Tensor`) — 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`.
- scores (`tuple(tf.Tensor)`) — Transition scores for each vocabulary token at each generation step. Beam transition scores consisting of log probabilities of tokens conditioned on log softmax of previously generated tokens Tuple of `tf.Tensor` with up to `max_new_tokens` elements (one element for each generated token), with each tensor of shape `(batch_size*num_beams, config.vocab_size)`.
- beam_indices (`tf.Tensor`, optional) — Beam indices of generated token id at each generation step. `tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size*num_return_sequences, sequence_length)`. Only required if a `num_beams>1` at generate-time.
- normalize_logits (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether to normalize the logits (which, for legacy reasons, may be unnormalized).

Returns

`tf.Tensor`

A `tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size*num_return_sequences, sequence_length)` containing the transition scores (logits)

Computes the transition scores of sequences given the generation scores (and beam indices, if beam search was used). This is a convenient method to quicky obtain the scores of the selected tokens at generation time.

Examples:

    >>> from transformers import GPT2Tokenizer, TFAutoModelForCausalLM
    >>> import numpy as np

    >>> tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained("openai-community/gpt2")
    >>> model = TFAutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("openai-community/gpt2")
    >>> tokenizer.pad_token_id = tokenizer.eos_token_id
    >>> inputs = tokenizer(["Today is"], return_tensors="tf")

    >>> # Example 1: Print the scores for each token generated with Greedy Search
    >>> outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=5, return_dict_in_generate=True, output_scores=True)
    >>> transition_scores = model.compute_transition_scores(
    ...     outputs.sequences, outputs.scores, normalize_logits=True
    ... )
    >>> # input_length is the length of the input prompt for decoder-only models, like the GPT family, and 1 for
    >>> # encoder-decoder models, like BART or T5.
    >>> input_length = 1 if model.config.is_encoder_decoder else inputs.input_ids.shape[1]
    >>> generated_tokens = outputs.sequences[:, input_length:]
    >>> for tok, score in zip(generated_tokens[0], transition_scores[0]):
    ...     # | token | token string | logits | probability
    ...     print(f"| {tok:5d} | {tokenizer.decode(tok):8s} | {score.numpy():.3f} | {np.exp(score.numpy()):.2%}")
