Bart

DISCLAIMER: If you see something strange, file a Github Issue and assign @sshleifer

Overview

The Bart model was proposed by Mike Lewis, Yinhan Liu, Naman Goyal, Marjan Ghazvininejad, Abdelrahman Mohamed, Omer Levy, Ves Stoyanov and Luke Zettlemoyer on 29 Oct, 2019. According to the abstract,

• Bart uses a standard seq2seq/machine translation architecture with a bidirectional encoder (like BERT) and a left-to-right decoder (like GPT).

• The pretraining task involves randomly shuffling the order of the original sentences and a novel in-filling scheme, where spans of text are replaced with a single mask token.

• BART is particularly effective when fine tuned for text generation but also works well for comprehension tasks. It matches the performance of RoBERTa with comparable training resources on GLUE and SQuAD, achieves new state-of-the-art results on a range of abstractive dialogue, question answering, and summarization tasks, with gains of up to 6 ROUGE.

The Authors’ code can be found here

Implementation Notes

• Bart doesn’t use token_type_ids for sequence classification. Use BartTokenizer.encode to get the proper splitting.

• The forward pass of BartModel will create decoder inputs (using the helper function transformers.modeling_bart._prepare_bart_decoder_inputs) if they are not passed. This is different than some other modeling APIs.

• Model predictions are intended to be identical to the original implementation. This only works, however, if the string you pass to fairseq.encode starts with a space.

• BartForConditionalGeneration.generate should be used for conditional generation tasks like summarization, see the example in that docstrings

• Models that load the "facebook/bart-large-cnn" weights will not have a mask_token_id, or be able to perform mask filling tasks.

• for training/forward passes that don’t involve beam search, pass use_cache=False

BartForConditionalGeneration

class transformers.BartForConditionalGeneration(config: transformers.configuration_bart.BartConfig)

The BART Model with a language modeling head. Can be used for summarization.

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 matters related to general usage and behavior.

Parameters

config (BartConfig) – 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, attention_mask=None, encoder_outputs=None, decoder_input_ids=None, decoder_attention_mask=None, past_key_values=None, labels=None, use_cache=None, output_attentions=None, output_hidden_states=None, return_dict=None, **unused)

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

Note

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

Parameters

• input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) – Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Use BartTokenizer.encode to produce them. Padding will be ignored by default should you provide it. Indices can be obtained using transformers.BartTokenizer.encode(text).

• attention_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) – Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices in input_ids. Mask values selected in [0, 1]: 1 for tokens that are NOT MASKED, 0 for MASKED tokens.

• encoder_outputs (tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional) – Tuple consists of (last_hidden_state, optional: hidden_states, optional: attentions) last_hidden_state of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) is a sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.

• decoder_input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length), optional) – Provide for translation and summarization training. By default, the model will create this tensor by shifting the input_ids right, following the paper.

• decoder_attention_mask (torch.BoolTensor of shape (batch_size, tgt_seq_len), optional) – Default behavior: generate a tensor that ignores pad tokens in decoder_input_ids. Causal mask will also be used by default. If you want to change padding behavior, you should read _prepare_decoder_inputs() and modify. See diagram 1 in the paper for more info on the default strategy

Can be used to speed up decoding. If past_key_values are used, the user can optionally input only the last decoder_input_ids (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape (batch_size, 1) instead of all decoder_input_ids of shape (batch_size, sequence_length).

• output_hidden_states (bool, optional) – If set to True, the hidden states of all layers are returned. See hidden_states under returned tensors for more detail.

• return_dict (bool, optional) –

  If set to True, the model will return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.

  labels (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional):

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

BartForQuestionAnswering

class transformers.BartForQuestionAnswering(config)

BART Model with a span classification head on top for extractive question-answering tasks like SQuAD (a linear layer 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 matters related to general usage and behavior.

Parameters

config (BartConfig) – 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, attention_mask=None, encoder_outputs=None, decoder_input_ids=None, decoder_attention_mask=None, start_positions=None, end_positions=None, use_cache=None, output_attentions=None, output_hidden_states=None, return_dict=None)

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

Note

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

Parameters

• input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) – Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Use BartTokenizer.encode to produce them. Padding will be ignored by default should you provide it. Indices can be obtained using transformers.BartTokenizer.encode(text).

• attention_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) – Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices in input_ids. Mask values selected in [0, 1]: 1 for tokens that are NOT MASKED, 0 for MASKED tokens.

• encoder_outputs (tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional) – Tuple consists of (last_hidden_state, optional: hidden_states, optional: attentions) last_hidden_state of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) is a sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.

• decoder_input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length), optional) – Provide for translation and summarization training. By default, the model will create this tensor by shifting the input_ids right, following the paper.

• decoder_attention_mask (torch.BoolTensor of shape (batch_size, tgt_seq_len), optional) – Default behavior: generate a tensor that ignores pad tokens in decoder_input_ids. Causal mask will also be used by default. If you want to change padding behavior, you should read _prepare_decoder_inputs() and modify. See diagram 1 in the paper for more info on the default strategy

• past_key_values (tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor)) of length config.n_layers with each tuple having 4 tensors of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length - 1, embed_size_per_head)) – Contains pre-computed key and value hidden-states of the attention blocks. Can be used to speed up decoding. If past_key_values are used, the user can optionally input only the last decoder_input_ids (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape (batch_size, 1) instead of all decoder_input_ids of shape (batch_size, sequence_length).

• use_cache (bool, optional, defaults to True) – If use_cache is True, past_key_values are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see past_key_values).

• output_attentions (bool, optional) – If set to True, the attentions tensors of all attention layers are returned. See attentions under returned tensors for more detail.

• output_hidden_states (bool, optional) – If set to True, the hidden states of all layers are returned. See hidden_states under returned tensors for more detail.

• return_dict (bool, optional) – If set to True, the model will return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.

• start_positions (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size,), optional) – Labels for position (index) of the start of the labelled span for computing the token classification loss. Positions are clamped to the length of the sequence (sequence_length). Position outside of the sequence are not taken into account for computing the loss.

• end_positions (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size,), optional) – Labels for position (index) of the end of the labelled span for computing the token classification loss. Positions are clamped to the length of the sequence (sequence_length). Position outside of the sequence are not taken into account for computing the loss.

Returns

A Seq2SeqQuestionAnsweringModelOutput (if return_dict=True is passed or when config.return_dict=True) or a tuple of torch.FloatTensor comprising various elements depending on the configuration (BartConfig) and inputs.

• loss (torch.FloatTensor of shape (1,), optional, returned when labels is provided) – Total span extraction loss is the sum of a Cross-Entropy for the start and end positions.

• start_logits (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length,)) – Span-start scores (before SoftMax).

• end_logits (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length,)) – Span-end scores (before SoftMax).
