[](https://badge.fury.io/py/x-transformers)
A concise but fully-featured transformer, complete with a set of promising e**x**perimental features from various papers.
## Install
```bash
$ pip install x-transformers
```
## Usage
Full encoder / decoder
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import XTransformer
model = XTransformer(
dim = 512,
enc_num_tokens = 256,
enc_depth = 6,
enc_heads = 8,
enc_max_seq_len = 1024,
dec_num_tokens = 256,
dec_depth = 6,
dec_heads = 8,
dec_max_seq_len = 1024,
tie_token_emb = True # tie embeddings of encoder and decoder
)
src = torch.randint(0, 256, (1, 1024))
src_mask = torch.ones_like(src).bool()
tgt = torch.randint(0, 256, (1, 1024))
loss = model(src, tgt, mask = src_mask) # (1, 1024, 512)
loss.backward()
```
Decoder-only (GPT-like)
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 12,
heads = 8
)
).cuda()
x = torch.randint(0, 256, (1, 1024)).cuda()
model(x) # (1, 1024, 20000)
```
GPT3 would be approximately the following (but you wouldn't be able to run it anyways)
```python
gpt3 = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 50000,
max_seq_len = 2048,

## Features
### Flash Attention
<img src="./images/flash-attention.png" width="500px"></img>
What originally started off as <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.05682">a short paper</a> from Markus Rabe culminated as a practical fused attention CUDA kernel, named <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.14135">Flash Attention</a> by <a href="https://tridao.me/">Tri Dao</a>.
The technique processes the attention matrix in tiles, only keeping track of the running softmax and exponentiated weighted sums. By recomputing on the backwards pass in a tiled fashion, one is able to keep the memory linear with respect to sequence length. This allows a lot of recent models to be able to reach for longer context lengths without worrying about the memory bottleneck.
Other engineering decisions made by Tri Dao led to its enormous success, namely minimizing HBM accesses so that both the forwards and backwards outperform naive attention. In other words, flash attention is not only more memory efficient, but faster as well, making it a necessity for training transformers.
MetaAI has recently added the ability to use <a href="https://github.com/hazyresearch/flash-attention">Tri Dao's CUDA kernel</a> through the <a href="https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention.html">scaled_dot_product_attention</a> function in Pytorch 2.0. (They also have a `mem_efficient` attention, which is identical to flash attention design, just that the tiles are traversed differently)
<a href="https://ai.facebook.com/blog/large-language-model-llama-meta-ai/">Llama</a> was trained using Flash Attention. The only reason to avoid it is if you require operating on the attention matrix (dynamic positional bias, talking heads, residual attention).
You can use it in this repository by setting `attn_flash` to `True` and enjoy the immediate memory savings and increase in speed.
ex.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
attn_flash = True # just set this to True if you have pytorch 2.0 installed
)
)
```
### Augmenting Self-attention with Persistent Memory
<img src="./images/all-attention.png" width="500px"></img>
https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.01470
Proposes adding learned memory key / values prior to attention. They were able to remove feedforwards altogether and attain similar performance to the original transformers. I have found that keeping the feedforwards and adding the memory key / values leads to even better performance.
```python
from x_transformers import Decoder, Encoder
enc = Encoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
attn_num_mem_kv = 16 # 16 memory key / values
)
```
### Memory Transformers
<img src="./images/memory-transformer.png" width="500px"></img>
https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.11527
Proposes adding learned tokens, akin to CLS tokens, named memory tokens, that is passed through the attention layers alongside the input tokens. This setting is compatible with both encoder and decoder training.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
num_memory_tokens = 20, # 20 memory tokens
attn_layers = Encoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8
)
)
```
Update: MetaAI researchers <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.16588">have found</a> that adding memory tokens (they call them register tokens), alleviates outliers (which is suspected now to be a pathology of attention networks unable to <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.12929">attend to nothing</a>).
Update 2: a hybrid architecture out of Nvidia named <a href="https://openreview.net/forum?id=A1ztozypga">Hymba</a> used memory tokens successfully in the autoregressive case, termed meta tokens in their paper
### Transformers Without Tears
<img src="./images/scalenorm.png"></img>
https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.05895
They experiment with alternatives to Layer normalization and found one that is both effective and simpler. Researchers have shared with me this leads to faster convergence.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
use_scalenorm = True # set to True to use for all layers
)
)
```
You can also use the l2 normalized embeddings proposed as part of `fixnorm`. I have found it leads to improved convergence, when paired with small initialization (proposed by <a href="https://github.com/BlinkDL">BlinkDL</a>). The small initialization will be taken care of as long as `l2norm_embed` is set to `True`
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
l2norm_embed = True, # set this to True for l2 normalized embedding + small init
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8
)
)
```
Along the same lines of l2 normalized embeddings, Huggingface's <a href="https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom">175B parameter BLOOM</a> also places a layernorm right after the embeddings and just before the tokens enter the attention layers. This was corroborated by Yandex's <a href="https://github.com/yandex/YaLM-100B">100B parameter YaLM</a> to stabilize training.
It is recommended you either have either `l2norm_embed` or `post_emb_norm` set to `True` but not both, as they probably serve the same purpose.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
post_emb_norm = True, # set this to True to layernorm summed token + pos embeddings
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8
)
)
```
### Root Mean Square Layer Normalization
https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.07467
The authors propose to replace layer normalization with a simpler alternative, without mean centering and the learned bias. An investigative paper found this to be the <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.11972">best performing normalization variant</a>. It was also used in Deepmind's latest large language models, <a href="https://deepmind.com/research/publications/2021/improving-language-models-by-retrieving-from-trillions-of-tokens">Retro</a> and <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.11446">Gopher</a>.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
use_rmsnorm = True # set to true to use for all layers
)
)
```
*July 2023* <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.14995">A linear attention paper</a> has experiments to show that removing the learned multiplicative gamma led to no performance degradation. This simplifies the RMS normalization to a satisfying `l2norm(x) * sqrt(dim)`.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
use_simple_rmsnorm = True # set to true to use for all layers
)
)
```
### GLU Variants Improve Transformer
<img src="./images/ffglu.png"></img>
https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.05202
Noam Shazeer paper that explores gating in the feedforward, finding that simple gating with GELU leads to significant improvements. This variant also showed up in the latest mT5 architecture. You should always turn this on (I may eventually turn it on by default).
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
ff_glu = True # set to true to use for all feedforwards
)
)
```
The <a href="https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/04/pathways-language-model-palm-scaling-to.html">PaLM</a> language model also chose to use the Swish GLU variant. You can turn this on by setting two flags
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
ff_swish = True, # set this to True
ff_glu = True # set to true to use for all feedforwards
)
)
``````
### No Bias in Feedforward
Starting with <a href="https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/04/pathways-language-model-palm-scaling-to.html">PaLM</a>, there begun a trend to remove biases from the transformer all together. <a href="https://github.com/borisdayma">Boris Dayma</a> has run a number of experiments that showed removing biases from feedforwards led to increased throughput without any loss of accuracy. This was corroborated by <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.14034">yet another paper</a> investigating transformer architecture variants.
You can turn off the feedforward bias as follows
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
ff_no_bias = True # set this to True
)
)
```
### ReLU²
https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.08668
This paper used neural architecture search and found an activation, Relu Squared, that is both simpler and performs better than GELU, in the autoregressive language model setting. I have confirmed this in my independent experiments. However, if one were using the GLU variant from above, GELU still performs better. Pending further corroboration.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
ff_relu_squared = True
)
)
```
### Explicit Sparse Transformer: Concentrated Attention Through Explicit Selection
<img src="./images/topk-attention.png" width="500px"></img>
https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.11637
This paper proposes an efficient way to sparsify attention by zeroing all dot-product query/key values not within the top k values. The show that this cheap method was as effective as other more expensive operations like sparsemax or entmax15. This technique comes with the cost of an extra hyperparameter (the top k values to keep). The paper recommends a value of `k = 8`
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
attn_sparse_topk = 8, # keep only the top 8 values before attention (softmax)
attn_sparse_topk_straight_through = True # straight through the original gradients
)
)
```
An extreme case of `topk` value of `1`, you can use the following
```python
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
attn_hard = True # will only propagate the single value of the argmax of qk logit. offered in the case it addresses https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.01104
)
)
```
### Talking-Heads Attention
<img src="./images/talking-heads.png" width="500px"></img>
https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.02436
A Noam Shazeer paper that proposes mixing information between heads pre and post attention (softmax). This comes with the cost of extra memory and compute.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
attn_pre_talking_heads = True, # linear combination across pre-softmax attn logits across heads
attn_post_talking_heads = True # linear combination across post-softmax attn across heads
)
)
```
### One Write-Head Is All You Need
https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.02150
Yet another Noam Shazeer paper (he's a legend) that proposes to only have one head for the key / values, but multi-headed queries. This paper was largely ignored for a while, but recently validated at scale in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.07814">AlphaCode</a> as well as <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.02311">PaLM</a>. It has the property of being memory efficient when decoding extremely large language models. You can use it with one keyword argument as shown below.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
attn_one_kv_head = True
)
)
```
This has been further generalized in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.13245">a recent paper</a> to allow for groups of query heads to attend to a single key / value head. You can use this by specifying the `attn_kv_heads`
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 12,
heads = 8,
attn_kv_heads = 2 # say you want 4 query heads to attend to 1 key / value head
)
)
```
### Attention on Attention for Image Captioning
<img src="./images/attention-on-attention.png"></img>
https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.06954
This paper proposes to add a gated linear unit at the end of the attention layer, further gated by the original queries. Although this is not widely used outside of visual question / answering, I suspect it should lead to improvements after seeing the success of the feedforward GLU variant.
Update: After some experimentation, I found this variant actually performs worse, but if it were to be modified to not concatenate the queries before gating, it performs much better. That is what we will be using in this repository.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Encoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
attn_on_attn = True # gate output of attention layer, by queries
)
)
```
### Intra-attention Gating on Values
<img src="./images/gate_values.png" width="400px"></img>
<a href="https://github.com/deepmind/alphafold">Alphafold2</a> had a peculiar variant of attention where they gate the aggregated values with the input, presumably to have the block have more control over the update.
A quick test shows a small but noticeable improvement, on about the same order as attention on attention.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Encoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
attn_gate_values = True # gate aggregated values with the input
)
)
```
### Improving Transformer Models by Reordering their Sublayers
<img src="./images/sandwich.png"></img>
<img src="./images/sandwich-2.png"></img>
https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.03864
This paper proposes to break from the normal fixed pattern of alternating attention and feedforwards, but to have blocks of only attention at the beginning followed by blocks of feedforwards at the end. This was further corroborated by a paper by Nvidia that reduces the number of attention layers to be 1/3rd of the feedforwards without loss in performance.
The amount of interleaving is controlled by a "sandwich coefficient", which they found to be optimal at a value of `6`.
You can experiment with this feature as shown below
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Encoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
sandwich_coef = 6 # interleave attention and feedforwards with sandwich coefficient of 6
)
)
```
### Weight-tied Layers
In the early days of the cambrian explosion of BERT, a paper explored weight tying all the layers, the model named <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.11942">ALBERT</a>. You can use it by setting `weight_tie_layers = True`
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Encoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 12,
weight_tie_layers = True # set this to True to weight tie all the layers
)
)
```
If you wish to do something more sophisticated, say 3 layers, with each layer recurrent 4 times before onto the next (similar to <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.15071">this paper</a>), that is possible as well. Be aware the `layers_execute_order` is 0-indexed
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
custom_layers = (
'a', 'f', # 3 sets of attention and feedforward
'a', 'f',
'a', 'f'
),
layers_execute_order = (
*((0, 1) * 4), # each done 4 times before sequentially passed forward, but you can probably imagine some more interesting configurations...
*((2, 3) * 4),
*((4, 5) * 4),
)
)
)
```
### Understanding and Improving Transformer From a Multi-Particle Dynamic System Point of View
<img src="./images/macaron-1.png"></img>
<img src="./images/macaron-2.png"></img>
https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.02762
The authors propose to view the success of transformers from a dynamical systems point of view, and then proposes an improvement based on mathematics of that POV. Specifically, they propose to place the attention layer in between two feedforward layers. This was adopted by a paper using transformers for speech recognition, the <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.08100">Conformer</a>.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Encoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
macaron = True # use macaron configuration
)
)
```
### T5's Simplified Relative Positional Encoding
https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.10683
T5 is one of the most successful encoder / decoder transformer architectures trained to date. They invented a new simplified relative positional encoding based on learned bias values that are added to the attention matrix pre-softmax. This bias is shared and injected into each attention layer. I have decided to include this because it offers a cheap way to have relative positional encoding (superior to absolute positional), and I have read papers that suggest having positional encoding added to each layer (vs only before the first) is beneficial.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
rel_pos_bias = True # adds relative positional bias to all attention layers, a la T5
)
)
```
### Residual Attention
<img src="./images/residual_attn.png" width="500px"></img>
https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.11747
This paper from Google proposes residualizing the pre-attention scores across all layers. At the cost of no extra parameters, they show improvement on top of regular attention networks. If you turn on this setting, be aware that the best results in the paper used post-normalization, in which case a learning warmup will be needed. The authors also reported that they could use a higher learning rate and get even better gains in the same amount of steps. (In the paper they use `2e-4` vs `1e-4` for vanilla transformer)
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Encoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Encoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
pre_norm = False, # in the paper, residual attention had best results with post-layernorm
residual_attn = True # add residual attention
)
)
```
I also tried residualizing cross attention and may have noticed an improvement in convergence. You can try it by setting the `cross_residual_attn` keyword to `True`
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import XTransformer
model = XTransformer(
dim = 512,
enc_num_tokens = 256,
enc_depth = 6,
enc_heads = 8,
enc_max_seq_len = 1024,
dec_num_tokens = 256,
dec_depth = 6,
dec_heads = 8,
dec_max_seq_len = 1024,
dec_cross_residual_attn = True # residualize cross attention
)
```
### Transformer-XL recurrence
You can also do Transformer-XL recurrence, by simply passing in a `max_mem_len` in the `TransformerWrapper` class, and then making sure your `Decoder` has `rel_pos_bias` (or `rotary_pos_emb`) set to `True`.
Then, you can retrieve the memories at each step with the `return_mems` keyword and pass it to the next iteration.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model_xl = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 512,
max_mem_len = 2048,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
rel_pos_bias = True
)
)
seg1 = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 512))
seg2 = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 512))
seg3 = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 512))
logits1, mems1 = model_xl(seg1, return_mems = True)
logits2, mems2 = model_xl(seg2, mems = mems1, return_mems = True)
logits3, mems3 = model_xl(seg3, mems = mems2, return_mems = True)
```
Setting up the logic for training and sampling from transformer xl can be a bit overwhelming. This repository offers a simple wrapper that should make this easy, with the `XLAutoregressiveWrapper`.
```python
# pass in the above model_xl
xl_wrapper = XLAutoregressiveWrapper(model_xl)
seg = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 4096)).cuda() # sequence exceeding max length, automatically segmented and memory managed
loss = xl_wrapper(seg)
loss.backward()
# then, after much training
prime = seg[:, :1024] # if prime exceeds max length, memory will be caught up before generating
generated = xl_wrapper.generate(prime, 4096) # (1, 4096)
```
### Enhanced recurrence
<img src="./images/enhanced-recurrence.png" width="400px"/>
<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.15688">This paper</a> proposes a simple technique to enhance the range of Transformer-XL. They simply route the memory segment of a layer to the layer below it, for the next recurrent step. You can enable this by setting `shift_mem_down = 1`. You can also shift down arbitrary number of layers by setting this value to `> 1`.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model_xl = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 512,
max_mem_len = 2048,
shift_mem_down = 1,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
rotary_pos_emb = True
)
)
seg1 = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 512))
seg2 = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 512))
seg3 = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 512))
logits1, mems1 = model_xl(seg1, return_mems = True)
logits2, mems2 = model_xl(seg2, mems = mems1, return_mems = True) # mems1 of layer N are automatically routed to the layer N-1
```
### Gated residual
<img src="./images/gating.png" width="500px"></img>
https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.06764
The authors propose gating the residual connections in the transformer network and demonstrate increased stability and performance for Transformer-XL in a variety of reinforcement learning tasks.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
max_mem_len = 2048,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 16,
gate_residual = True
)
)
```
### Rotary Positional Embeddings
<img src="./images/rotary.png" width="500px"></img>
Developed in Beijing, this new technique quickly gained interest in the NLP circles. In short, it allows you to endow the transformer with relative positional embeddings at the cost of no learned parameters. You apply a rotary operation to the queries and keys prior to their dot product in attention. The big idea is injecting positions through rotations.
Highly recommend that you have this turned on whenever you are working on an ordered sequence.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
rotary_pos_emb = True # turns on rotary positional embeddings
)
)
```
Update (12/2022): Rotary embedding has since been hugely successful, widely adopted in many large language models, including the largest in the world, PaLM. However, it has been uncovered in the ALiBi paper that rotary embeddings cannot length extrapolate well. This was recently addressed in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.10554v1">a Microsoft research paper</a>. They propose a way to unobtrusively add the same decay as in ALiBi, and found that this resolves the extrapolation problem. You can use it in this repository by setting `rotary_xpos = True`. Like ALiBi, it would enforce the attention to be local. You can set the receptive field with `rotary_xpos_scale_base` value, which defaults to `512`
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
rotary_xpos = True # modified rotary to extrapolate well beyond length at which it was trained
)
)
```
### Dynamic Positional Bias
<img src="./images/dynamic-pos-bias.png" width="150px"></img>
This technique bears roots from the field of vision transformers, where researchers are trying to have relative positions generalize to larger resolutions (without having to retrain the entire network). It was used in two recent papers, <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.00154">CrossFormer</a>, as well as <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.09883">SwinV2</a>.
<a href="https://github.com/cfoster0">Charles Foster</a> first tried this for a language model, and found that it works. Later on <a href="https://github.com/bob80333">Eric Engelhart</a> produced experimental results that show the same type of extrapolation holds, even for 1d sequences.
Eric trained at sequence lengths of 128, and showed that it generalized well to 1024. In addition, he showed that linear positions was better than log (used in SwinV2), for language.
Linear distances
<img src="./images/dynamic-pos-bias-linear.png" width="600px"></img>
Log distances
<img src="./images/dynamic-pos-bias-log.png" width="600px"></img>
Negative control - Sinusoidal
<img src="./images/dynamic-pos-bias-sinusoidal.png" width="600px"></img>
More of Eric's experimental results can be found <a href="https://github.com/bob80333/investigating_extrapolation">here</a>
You can use this type of relative position if you wish to train at smaller sequence lengths and have it generalize to longer ones, for both autoregressive and bidirectional models.
Update: <a href="https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/stanford-ribonanza-rna-folding/discussion/460121">First place RNA folding using dynamic positional bias</a>
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 256,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
dynamic_pos_bias = True, # set this to True
dynamic_pos_bias_log_distance = False # whether to use log distance, as in SwinV2
)
)
```
### ALiBi Positional Embedding
<a href="https://ofir.io/train_short_test_long.pdf">This paper</a> proposes to simply apply a static linear bias to the attention matrix. The authors show this is not only effective as a relative positional encoding, but also allows the attention net to extrapolate to greater sequences length than what it was trained on, for autoregressive language models.
This repository also offers a bidirectional variant (nonsymmetric), proposed by the authors <a href="https://github.com/ofirpress/attention_with_linear_biases/issues/5">here</a>. However, this is untested. If you need bidirectional length extrapolation, the safest option would be Dynamic Position Bias
Update: It may be that ALiBi enforces a strong local attention across the heads, and may hinder it from attending at distances greater than 1k. To avoid any issues with global message passing, I've decided to introduce another hyperparameter `alibi_num_heads`, so one can specify less heads for the ALiBi bias
Update: There are reports that ALiBi outperform Rotary embeddings for pretraining and downstream fine-tuning.
Update: <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.19466">New paper</a> shows that no positional embedding can length extrapolate even than explicit ones
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
alibi_pos_bias = True, # turns on ALiBi positional embedding
alibi_num_heads = 4 # only use ALiBi for 4 out of the 8 heads, so other 4 heads can still attend far distances
)
)
```
### Shifted Tokens
An <a href="https://github.com/BlinkDL">independent researcher</a> has found that shifting a subset of the feature dimension along the sequence dimension by 1 token helps with convergence (<a href="https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/191393788">Time-mixing</a>). I have tested this for the autoregressive case and can confirm that it leads to greatly improved convergence. This also lines up with <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.07477">the results</a> of some papers in the vision domain.
To use it, simply set `shift_tokens = 1` (or to whatever number of shifts you desire). The feature dimension will be divided by `shift_tokens + 1` and then each chunk will be shifted `[0, shift_tokens]` respectively
Update: new experiments by @sdtblck suggests this may only work for character-level training
Update: after more experiments, it seems that in the context of BPE encoding, with rotary turned on, there is no benefit to shifting. for character-level training, shifting may still improve a tiny bit
Update: When doing BPE encoded tokens, it seems that shift of 2 will bottleneck the dimensions (divided by 5). It is recommended you always do a shift of 1, unless if you are working with character level.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
shift_tokens = 1
)
)
```
If you want finer control over how much is shifted per block (whether attention or feedforward), simply pass in a tuple of size that is equal to the number of layers.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
shift_tokens = (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) # 12 blocks, attention and feedforward alternating, with progressively less shifting
)
)
```
### Sandwich Norm
<img src="./images/sandwich_norm.png" width="400px"/>
This technique first made an appearance in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.13290">the CoqView paper</a>, a Chinese version of the famous text-to-image transformer DALL-E. They propose, when using pre-layernorm, to add an extra layernorm to all the branch outputs. I have found this to be very effective for a number of projects, when facing instability during training.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
sandwich_norm = True # set this to True
)
)
x = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 1024))
model(x)
```
### ResiDual
<img src="./images/resi_dual.png" width="400px"/>
<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.14802">This Microsoft paper</a> proposes yet another normalization configuration, combining both pre and post layernorm. They claim this hybridization reduces representation collapse (known to be an issue with pre-layernorm with increasing depth), while maintaining stability and reducing vanishing gradients (issues with post-layernorm). Initial experiments on my end show it to work no worse than pre-layernorm or sandwich norm. More study needed by the public to see if this is actually a winning technique.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
resi_dual = True, # set this to True
resi_dual_scale = 0.1 # in appendix, they said on fp16 the prenorm residual is prone to overflow. they claim by scaling it at each layer by a factor, it would prevent the overflow, and keep results the same (as layernorms are invariant to scaling of the input)
)
)
x = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 1024))
model(x)
```
### Normformer
<img src="./images/normformer.png" width="400px"/>
This <a href="https://openreview.net/forum?id=GMYWzWztDx5">paper</a> uncovers an issue with pre-norm transformers where gradients are mismatched between the early and later layers. They propose 4 changes, of which I will be offering 3.
The first change is to offer per head scaling after aggregating the values in attention. My experiments show a slight improvement in convergence.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
attn_head_scale = True # set this to True
)
)
x = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 1024))
model(x)
```
The second change is an extra layernorm right after the activation in the feedforward. I have also verified a slight improvement, at the cost of extra compute.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
ff_post_act_ln = True # set this to True
)
)
x = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 1024))
model(x)
```
For the residual scaling, you simply have to set `scale_residual = True`. I have noticed slight improvements, but occasional instability as well, so use with caution.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
scale_residual = True # set this to True
)
)
x = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 1024))
model(x)
```
The last change is a layernorm right after the outwards projection in attention. This is actually identical to the sandwich norm proposed by the Coqview paper, so you can use this by simply setting `sandwich_norm = True`, although it would also add it to the feedforward layer.
### Cosine Sim Attention
<img src="./images/cosine-sim-attention.png" width="400px"></img>
This <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.04245">paper</a> proposes to l2 normalize the queries and keys along the head dimension before the dot product (cosine similarity), with the additional change of the scale being learned rather than static. The normalization prevents the attention operation from overflowing, and removes any need for numerical stability measures prior to softmax. Both are perennial problems when training transformers.
This was validated at scale recently by the training of <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.09883">a 3B parameter vision transformer</a>. The SwinV2 paper also proposes to change the pre-layernorm to a post-layernorm for further stability.
I have validated that this works just as well as dot product attention in an autoregressive setting, if one were to initialize the temperature as proposed in the QK-norm paper (as a function of the sequence length).
This flavor of attention also has <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.05498">a connection</a> to sparse distributed memory. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THIIk7LR9_8">[youtube talk]</a>
Update: I have discovered a way to remove the learned temperature altogether, by grouping the feature dimension and doing l2-normalization on each group. This allows the queries and keys to have a similarity that is upper bounded by the number of groups. A group size of 8 or 16 was sufficient in my tests. Decided to name this technique "Grouped QK Normalization". The drawback is that I believe an attention head dimension 32 is too small to use this tactic (a dimension often used in vision)
Update 2: Tero Karras has successfully used cosine sim attention in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.02696">a new paper</a>.
You can use it as follows
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
attn_qk_norm = True, # set this to True
attn_qk_norm_groups = 8 # number of groups in the feature dimension for l2norm, similarity scores will be bounded between [-group, group]. determines how sharp the attention can be
)
)
x = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 1024))
model(x)
```
Another update: Simply scaling the cosine similarity (group of 1) with a fixed constant (10) may work too
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
attn_qk_norm = True, # set to True
attn_qk_norm_scale = 10 # new scale on the similarity, with groups of 1
)
)
x = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 1024))
model(x)
```
### QK RMSNorm
<img src="./images/qknorm-analysis.png" width="450px"></img>
Update: Google Brain has proven out something similar to cosine sim attention in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.05442">a 22B parameter model</a>. In their papers, they have analysis showing that the normalization resulted in not only extra stability, but also better results in the end (due to less need to adjust learning rate when increasing parameter count).
We are nearing the point of wiping out a source of transformer training instability with one simple intervention, in my opinion. The only slight difference in the paper is that they still have a learned scale across the feature dimension (per use of rmsnorm). Not sure how critical this is, but just to make sure we don't miss anything, I will include this here. You can use this by setting `qk_norm_dim_scale = True`
Update: <a href="https://twitter.com/Tim_Dettmers/status/1625531080513306627">Counterpoint from Tim Dettmers</a>
Update 2: <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.19268">Counter</a> to Tim's assertion that outliers are needed, and potentially even <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.12929">some solutions</a>
Update 3: Used by <a href="https://www.adept.ai/blog/persimmon-8b">8B parameter LLM</a> successfully
Update 4: a MetaAI group found that they can <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.16588">alleviate outliers</a> by adding `register tokens`, also known as `memory tokens` from earlier literature (Burtsev et al). Perhaps what should be tried next is see if qk norm can be improved in the presence of memory tokens.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 12,
heads = 8,
attn_qk_norm = True,
attn_qk_norm_dim_scale = True # set this to True, in addition to `attn_qk_norm = True`
)
)
x = torch.randint(0, 256, (1, 1024))
model(x)
```
### Turning off absolute positional embedding
A number of papers have hinted that causal transformers (`Decoder`) can learn absolute positions in the absence of added embeddings of any sort. This was recently thoroughly investigated <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.16634">here</a>. You can turn off the absolute positional embedding by setting `use_abs_pos_emb = False` in the `TransformerWrapper`
Given <a href="https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/04/pathways-language-model-palm-scaling-to.html">PaLM</a>, the trend going forward may be to forgo absolute positional embedding (again, for causal transformers only), and add relative positional embeddings with RoPE, ALiBi, etc.
Update: <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.19466">This paper</a> shows that in the absence of any engineered absolute or relative positional embeddings, decoders can generate implicit positions, and even length generalize better than solutions of the past. They were unaware of dynamic positional bias, however.
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
use_abs_pos_emb = False, # set this to False
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
heads = 8,
)
)
x = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 1024))
model(x)
```
### Forgetful Causal Mask
<img src="./images/fcm.png" width="450px"></img>
<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.13432">This paper</a> shows convincing results that one can combine masking (from masked language modeling) with autoregressive training, leading to significantly better results.
You can use this by setting the `mask_prob` on the `AutoregressiveWrapper` class
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import TransformerWrapper, Decoder, AutoregressiveWrapper
model = TransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 20000,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 12,
heads = 8
)
)
model = AutoregressiveWrapper(
model,
mask_prob = 0.15 # in paper, they use 15%, same as BERT
).cuda()
# mock data
x = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 1024)).cuda()
# derive cross entropy loss, masking all taken care of
loss = model(x)
loss.backward()
```
## Miscellaneous
### Cross Attention
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import Encoder, CrossAttender
enc = Encoder(dim = 512, depth = 6)
model = CrossAttender(dim = 512, depth = 6)
nodes = torch.randn(1, 1, 512)
node_masks = torch.ones(1, 1).bool()
neighbors = torch.randn(1, 5, 512)
neighbor_masks = torch.ones(1, 5).bool()
encoded_neighbors = enc(neighbors, mask = neighbor_masks)
model(nodes, context = encoded_neighbors, mask = node_masks, context_mask = neighbor_masks) # (1, 1, 512)
```
### Continuous Embeddings
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import ContinuousTransformerWrapper, Decoder
model = ContinuousTransformerWrapper(
dim_in = 32,
dim_out = 100,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 12,
heads = 8
)
)
x = torch.randn((1, 1024, 32))
mask = torch.ones(1, 1024).bool()
model(x, mask = mask) # (1, 1024, 100)
```
You can also train a transformer that accepts continuous values autoregressively easily, in the same scheme as done successfully in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.05329">this paper</a>
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import ContinuousTransformerWrapper, Decoder
from x_transformers import ContinuousAutoregressiveWrapper
model = ContinuousTransformerWrapper(
dim_in = 777,
dim_out = 777,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 12,
heads = 8
)
)
# wrap it with the continuous autoregressive wrapper
model = ContinuousAutoregressiveWrapper(model)
# mock data
x = torch.randn((1, 1024, 777))
mask = torch.ones(1, 1024).bool()
# train on a lot of data above
loss = model(x, mask = mask)
loss.backward
# then generate
start_emb = torch.randn(1, 777)
generated = model.generate(start_emb, 17) # (17, 777)
```
### xVal - Continuous and Discrete
<img src="./images/xval.png" width="400px"></img>
This is promising work that resulted from the collaboration across many institutes (collectively known as Polymathic AI). They found that by offering a continuously scaled number token to the transformer, the transformer was able to generalize arithmetic and forecasting tasks better than the alternative encoding schemes.
This is corroborated by some [prior work](https://github.com/lucidrains/tab-transformer-pytorch#ft-transformer)
```python
import torch
from x_transformers import (
Decoder,
XValTransformerWrapper,
XValAutoregressiveWrapper
)
model = XValTransformerWrapper(
num_tokens = 4,
numerical_token_id = 3,
max_seq_len = 1024,
attn_layers = Decoder(
dim = 512,
depth = 12,
heads = 8
)
)
# wrap it with the xval autoregressive wrapper
model = XValAutoregressiveWrapper(model)
# mock data
