SwitchTransformers

##
Overview

The SwitchTransformers model was proposed in Switch Transformers: Scaling to Trillion Parameter Models with Simple and Efficient Sparsity by William Fedus, Barret Zoph, Noam Shazeer.

The Switch Transformer model uses a sparse T5 encoder-decoder architecture, where the MLP are replaced by a Mixture of Experts (MoE). A routing mechanism (top 1 in this case) associates each token to one of the expert, where each expert is a dense MLP. While switch transformers have a lot more weights than their equivalent dense models, the sparsity allows better scaling and better finetuning performance at scale. During a forward pass, only a fraction of the weights are used. The routing mechanism allows the model to select relevant weights on the fly which increases the model capacity without increasing the number of operations.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

In deep learning, models typically reuse the same parameters for all inputs. Mixture of Experts (MoE) defies this and instead selects different parameters for each incoming example. The result is a sparsely-activated model — with outrageous numbers of parameters — but a constant computational cost. However, despite several notable successes of MoE, widespread adoption has been hindered by complexity, communication costs and training instability — we address these with the Switch Transformer. We simplify the MoE routing algorithm and design intuitive improved models with reduced communication and computational costs. Our proposed training techniques help wrangle the instabilities and we show large sparse models may be trained, for the first time, with lower precision (bfloat16) formats. We design models based off T5-Base and T5-Large to obtain up to 7x increases in pre-training speed with the same computational resources. These improvements extend into multilingual settings where we measure gains over the mT5-Base version across all 101 languages. Finally, we advance the current scale of language models by pre-training up to trillion parameter models on the “Colossal Clean Crawled Corpus” and achieve a 4x speedup over the T5-XXL model.

This model was contributed by Younes Belkada and Arthur Zucker. The original code can be found here.

Usage tips

- SwitchTransformers uses the T5Tokenizer, which can be loaded directly from each model’s repository.
- The released weights are pretrained on English Masked Language Modeling task, and should be finetuned.

Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the SwitchTransformers google/switch-base-8 architecture.

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

SwitchTransformersTop1Router

###
class transformers.SwitchTransformersTop1Router

< source >

( config: SwitchTransformersConfig )

Router using tokens choose top-1 experts assignment.

This router uses the same mechanism as in Switch Transformer (https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.03961) and V-MoE (https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.05974): tokens choose their top experts. Items are sorted by router_probs and then routed to their choice of expert until the expert’s expert_capacity is reached. There is no guarantee that each token is processed by an expert, or that each expert receives at least one token.

_compute_router_probabilities

( hidden_states: Tensor ) →
router_probabilities (`torch.Tensor`)

Parameters

- hidden_states (`torch.Tensor`) — (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_dim) from which router probabilities are computed.

Returns

router_probabilities (`torch.Tensor`)

Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, num_experts) corresponding to the probabilities for each token and expert. Used for routing tokens to experts. router_logits (`torch.Tensor`): Logits tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, num_experts) corresponding to raw router logits. This is used later for computing router z-loss.

Computes router probabilities from input hidden states.

( hidden_states: Tensor )

Parameters

- hidden_states (`torch.Tensor`) — [num_groups, tokens_per_group, hidden_dim] inputs to send to experts.

Generic forward function for every Router class. Each Router expects to have the same input hidden states (`hidden_states`) corresponding to the hidden states for each token, the `expert_capacity` corresponding to the number of tokens the Router will send to each expert, some Routers can send up to few tokens to each expert.

Each Router works as the following: it expects the hidden states for each token, gets the `router_probs` and `router_logits` from the `router_weights`. This will assign for each token, the raw probability to be assigned to an expert. Then each Router class will have to define its own `_compute_routing_instructions`.

( hidden_states )

Hold on, this will be slightly tricky to understand In the correct order, a MoE layer does the following:

1- Gets the `router_mask` from the router. The shape of the mask is `(batch_size, sequence_length, num_expert)` and corresponds to the argmax of the `router_probs`. The probabilities are needed in the computation of the hidden states : they are broadcasted to the hidden states values (can be interpreted as a scaling factor).

2- Dispatch the tokens to its associated experts. We do a classic for loop over the experts and assign for each expert the corresponding hidden states.

`transformers.modeling_outputs.Seq2SeqMoEModelOutput` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`

Parameters

- input_ids (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. SWITCH_TRANSFORMERS is a model with relative position embeddings so you should be able to pad the inputs on both the right and the left.

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

  What are input IDs?

  To know more on how to prepare `input_ids` for pretraining take a look a SWITCH_TRANSFORMERS Training.

- 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]`:

  - 0 for tokens that are masked.

  What are attention masks?

- decoder_input_ids (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length)`, optional) — Indices of decoder input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

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

  What are decoder input IDs?

  SWITCH_TRANSFORMERS uses the `pad_token_id` as the starting token for `decoder_input_ids` generation. If `past_key_values` is used, optionally only the last `decoder_input_ids` have to be input (see `past_key_values`).

  To know more on how to prepare `decoder_input_ids` for pretraining take a look at SWITCH_TRANSFORMERS Training.

- 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.
- head_mask (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(num_heads,)` or `(num_layers, num_heads)`, optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the self-attention modules in the encoder. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:
  - 1 indicates the head is not masked,
  - 0 indicates the head is masked.
- decoder_head_mask (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(num_heads,)` or `(num_layers, num_heads)`, optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the self-attention modules in the decoder. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:
  - 1 indicates the head is not masked,
  - 0 indicates the head is masked.
- cross_attn_head_mask (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(num_heads,)` or `(num_layers, num_heads)`, optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the cross-attention modules in the decoder. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:
  - 1 indicates the head is not masked,
  - 0 indicates the head is masked.
- 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)` is a sequence of hidden states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.
- 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 precomputed 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)`.

- 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 `decoder_input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.

  If `decoder_input_ids` and `decoder_inputs_embeds` are both unset, `decoder_inputs_embeds` takes the value of `inputs_embeds`.

The SwitchTransformersModel 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, SwitchTransformersModel

    >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/switch-base-8")
    >>> model = SwitchTransformersModel.from_pretrained("google/switch-base-8")

    >>> input_ids = tokenizer(
    ...     "Studies have been shown that owning a dog is good for you", return_tensors="pt"
    ... ).input_ids  # Batch size 1
    >>> decoder_input_ids = tokenizer("Studies show that", return_tensors="pt").input_ids  # Batch size 1

    >>> # preprocess: Prepend decoder_input_ids with start token which is pad token for SwitchTransformersModel.
    >>> # This is not needed for torch's SwitchTransformersForConditionalGeneration as it does this internally using labels arg.
    >>> decoder_input_ids = model._shift_right(decoder_input_ids)

    >>> # forward pass
    >>> outputs = model(input_ids=input_ids, decoder_input_ids=decoder_input_ids)
    >>> last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state

The SwitchTransformersForConditionalGeneration 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.

Examples:

    >>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, SwitchTransformersForConditionalGeneration

    >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/switch-base-8")
    >>> model = SwitchTransformersForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("google/switch-base-8")

    >>> # training
    >>> input_ids = tokenizer("The <extra_id_0> walks in <extra_id_1> park", return_tensors="pt").input_ids
    >>> labels = tokenizer("<extra_id_0> cute dog <extra_id_1> the <extra_id_2>", return_tensors="pt").input_ids
    >>> outputs = model(input_ids=input_ids, labels=labels)
    >>> loss = outputs.loss
    >>> logits = outputs.logits

    >>> # inference
    >>> input_ids = tokenizer(
    ...     "summarize: studies have shown that owning a dog is good for you", return_tensors="pt"
    ... ).input_ids  # Batch size 1
    >>> outputs = model.generate(input_ids)
    >>> # . To, let’s say you have a dog. To summarize:
    >>> # Since the model has been trained on MLM, this will output gibberish

( config: SwitchTransformersConfig )

Parameters

- config (SwitchTransformersConfig) — 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 SWITCH_TRANSFORMERS Model transformer outputting encoder’s raw hidden-states without any specific head on top.

The SWITCH_TRANSFORMERS model was proposed in Switch Transformers: Scaling to Trillion Parameter Models with Simple and Efficient Sparsity by William Fedus, Barret Zoph, and Noam Shazeer. It’s an encoder-decoder T5-like model with sparse Feed Forward that stands for Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture.

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.

( input_ids: Optional = None attention_mask: Optional = None head_mask: Optional = None inputs_embeds: Optional = None output_attentions: Optional = None output_hidden_states: Optional = None output_router_logits: Optional = True return_dict: Optional = None ) →
`transformers.modeling_outputs.MoEModelOutput` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`

Parameters

- input_ids (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. SWITCH_TRANSFORMERS is a model with relative position embeddings so you should be able to pad the inputs on both the right and the left.

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

  To know more on how to prepare `input_ids` for pretraining take a look a SWITCH_TRANSFORMERS Training.

- 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?

- 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.
- output_router_logits (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return the logits of all the routers. They are useful for computing the router loss, and should not be returned during inference.
- return_dict (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.

Returns

`transformers.modeling_outputs.MoEModelOutput` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`

A `transformers.modeling_outputs.MoEModelOutput` or a tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various elements depending on the configuration (SwitchTransformersConfig) and inputs.

- last_hidden_state (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`) — Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.

- 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, if the model has an embedding layer, + one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

  Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.

- attentions (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, optional, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) — Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length)`.

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

- router_probs (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, optional, returned when `output_router_probs=True` and `config.add_router_probs=True` is passed or when `config.output_router_probs=True`) — Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, num_experts)`.

  Raw router probabilities that are computed by MoE routers, these terms are used to compute the auxiliary loss and the z_loss for Mixture of Experts models.
