Overview
	
The SqueezeBERT model was proposed in SqueezeBERT: What can computer vision teach NLP about efficient neural networks? by Forrest N. Iandola, Albert E. Shaw, Ravi Krishna, Kurt W. Keutzer. It’s a
bidirectional transformer similar to the BERT model. The key difference between the BERT architecture and the
SqueezeBERT architecture is that SqueezeBERT uses grouped convolutions
instead of fully-connected layers for the Q, K, V and FFN layers.
The abstract from the paper is the following:
Humans read and write hundreds of billions of messages every day. Further, due to the availability of large datasets,
large computing systems, and better neural network models, natural language processing (NLP) technology has made
significant strides in understanding, proofreading, and organizing these messages. Thus, there is a significant
opportunity to deploy NLP in myriad applications to help web users, social networks, and businesses. In particular, we
consider smartphones and other mobile devices as crucial platforms for deploying NLP models at scale. However, today’s
highly-accurate NLP neural network models such as BERT and RoBERTa are extremely computationally expensive, with
BERT-base taking 1.7 seconds to classify a text snippet on a Pixel 3 smartphone. In this work, we observe that methods
such as grouped convolutions have yielded significant speedups for computer vision networks, but many of these
techniques have not been adopted by NLP neural network designers. We demonstrate how to replace several operations in
self-attention layers with grouped convolutions, and we use this technique in a novel network architecture called
SqueezeBERT, which runs 4.3x faster than BERT-base on the Pixel 3 while achieving competitive accuracy on the GLUE test
set. The SqueezeBERT code will be released.
Tips:
SqueezeBERT is a model with absolute position embeddings so it’s usually advised to pad the inputs on the right
rather than the left.
SqueezeBERT is similar to BERT and therefore relies on the masked language modeling (MLM) objective. It is therefore
efficient at predicting masked tokens and at NLU in general, but is not optimal for text generation. Models trained
with a causal language modeling (CLM) objective are better in that regard.
For best results when finetuning on sequence classification tasks, it is recommended to start with the
squeezebert/squeezebert-mnli-headless checkpoint.
This model was contributed by forresti.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a SqueezeBertModel. It is used to instantiate a
SqueezeBERT model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a
configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the SqueezeBERT
squeezebert/squeezebert-uncased architecture.
Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.
Examples:
	Copied
 from transformers import SqueezeBertConfig, SqueezeBertModel
 # Initializing a SqueezeBERT configuration
 configuration = SqueezeBertConfig()
 # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the configuration above
 model = SqueezeBertModel(configuration)
 # Accessing the model configuration
 configuration = model.config

PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.
What are input IDs?
attention_mask (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) —

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.

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

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

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.

transformers.modeling_outputs.SequenceClassifierOutput or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)
Parameters 
input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) —
Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.
Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and
PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.
What are input IDs?
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?
token_type_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) —
Segment token indices to indicate first and second portions of the inputs. Indices are selected in [0, 1]:
0 corresponds to a sentence A token,
1 corresponds to a sentence B token.
What are token type IDs?

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.
return_dict (bool, optional) —
Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.
labels (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size,), optional) —
Labels for computing the sequence classification/regression loss. Indices should be in [0, ..., config.num_labels - 1]. If config.num_labels == 1 a regression loss is computed (Mean-Square loss), If
config.num_labels > 1 a classification loss is computed (Cross-Entropy).
Returns
transformers.modeling_outputs.SequenceClassifierOutput or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)
A transformers.modeling_outputs.SequenceClassifierOutput 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 (SqueezeBertConfig) and inputs.

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.
The SqueezeBertForSequenceClassification 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.

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, SqueezeBertForQuestionAnswering
 import torch
 tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("squeezebert/squeezebert-uncased")
 model = SqueezeBertForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained("squeezebert/squeezebert-uncased")
 question, text = "Who was Jim Henson?", "Jim Henson was a nice puppet"
 inputs = tokenizer(question, text, return_tensors="pt")
 with torch.no_grad():
...     outputs = model(**inputs)
 answer_start_index = outputs.start_logits.argmax()
 answer_end_index = outputs.end_logits.argmax()
 predict_answer_tokens = inputs.input_ids[0, answer_start_index : answer_end_index + 1]
 # target is "nice puppet"
 target_start_index = torch.tensor([14])
 target_end_index = torch.tensor([15])
 outputs = model(**inputs, start_positions=target_start_index, end_positions=target_end_index)
 loss = outputs.loss
