Overview
	
The Transformer-XL model was proposed in Transformer-XL: Attentive Language Models Beyond a Fixed-Length Context by Zihang Dai, Zhilin Yang, Yiming Yang, Jaime Carbonell, Quoc V. Le, Ruslan
Salakhutdinov. It’s a causal (uni-directional) transformer with relative positioning (sinusoïdal) embeddings which can
reuse previously computed hidden-states to attend to longer context (memory). This model also uses adaptive softmax
inputs and outputs (tied).
The abstract from the paper is the following:
Transformers have a potential of learning longer-term dependency, but are limited by a fixed-length context in the
setting of language modeling. We propose a novel neural architecture Transformer-XL that enables learning dependency
beyond a fixed length without disrupting temporal coherence. It consists of a segment-level recurrence mechanism and a
novel positional encoding scheme. Our method not only enables capturing longer-term dependency, but also resolves the
context fragmentation problem. As a result, Transformer-XL learns dependency that is 80% longer than RNNs and 450%
longer than vanilla Transformers, achieves better performance on both short and long sequences, and is up to 1,800+
times faster than vanilla Transformers during evaluation. Notably, we improve the state-of-the-art results of
bpc/perplexity to 0.99 on enwiki8, 1.08 on text8, 18.3 on WikiText-103, 21.8 on One Billion Word, and 54.5 on Penn
Treebank (without finetuning). When trained only on WikiText-103, Transformer-XL manages to generate reasonably
coherent, novel text articles with thousands of tokens.
Tips:
Transformer-XL uses relative sinusoidal positional embeddings. Padding can be done on the left or on the right. The
original implementation trains on SQuAD with padding on the left, therefore the padding defaults are set to left.
Transformer-XL is one of the few models that has no sequence length limit.
Same as a regular GPT model, but introduces a recurrence mechanism for two consecutive segments (similar to a regular RNNs with two consecutive inputs). In this context, a segment is a number of consecutive tokens (for instance 512) that may span across multiple documents, and segments are fed in order to the model.
Basically, the hidden states of the previous segment are concatenated to the current input to compute the attention scores. This allows the model to pay attention to information that was in the previous segment as well as the current one. By stacking multiple attention layers, the receptive field can be increased to multiple previous segments.
This changes the positional embeddings to positional relative embeddings (as the regular positional embeddings would give the same results in the current input and the current hidden state at a given position) and needs to make some adjustments in the way attention scores are computed.
This model was contributed by thomwolf. The original code can be found here.
TransformerXL does not work with torch.nn.DataParallel due to a bug in PyTorch, see issue #36035

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a TransfoXLModel or a TFTransfoXLModel. It is
used to instantiate a Transformer-XL 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 TransfoXL
transfo-xl-wt103 architecture.
Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

 # Initializing a Transformer XL configuration
 configuration = TransfoXLConfig()
 # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the configuration

TransfoXLForSequenceClassification

(
config
)
Parameters 
config (TransfoXLConfig) — 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 Transformer-XL Model transformer with a sequence classification head on top (linear layer).
TransfoXLForSequenceClassification uses the last token in order to do the classification, as other causal
models (e.g. GPT-1) do.
Since it does classification on the last token, it requires to know the position of the last token. If a
pad_token_id is defined in the configuration, it finds the last token that is not a padding token in each row. If
no pad_token_id is defined, it simply takes the last value in each row of the batch. Since it cannot guess the
padding tokens when inputs_embeds are passed instead of input_ids, it does the same (take the last value in
each row of the batch).
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.)

transformers.models.transfo_xl.modeling_transfo_xl.TransfoXLSequenceClassifierOutputWithPast 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?
mems (List[torch.FloatTensor] of length config.n_layers) —
Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the attention blocks) as computed by the model (see
mems output below). Can be used to speed up sequential decoding. The token ids which have their mems
given to this model should not be passed as input_ids as they have already been computed.
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.
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.models.transfo_xl.modeling_transfo_xl.TransfoXLSequenceClassifierOutputWithPast or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)
A transformers.models.transfo_xl.modeling_transfo_xl.TransfoXLSequenceClassifierOutputWithPast 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 (TransfoXLConfig) and inputs.
loss (torch.FloatTensor of shape (1,), optional, returned when labels is provided) — Classification (or regression if config.num_labels==1) loss.
logits (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, config.num_labels)) — Classification (or regression if config.num_labels==1) scores (before SoftMax).
mems (List[torch.FloatTensor] of length config.n_layers) — Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the attention blocks). Can be used (see mems
input) to speed up sequential decoding. The token ids which have their past given to this model should not
be passed as input ids as they have already been computed.
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 + 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 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 TransfoXLForSequenceClassification 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.

TFTransfoXLModel
	
class transformers.TFTransfoXLModel
<
source
>
(
*args
**kwargs
)
Parameters 
config (TransfoXLConfig) — 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 Bert Model transformer outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top.
This model inherits from TFPreTrainedModel. 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 tf.keras.Model subclass. Use it
as a regular TF 2.0 Keras Model and refer to the TF 2.0 documentation for all matter related to general usage and
behavior.
TensorFlow models and layers in transformers accept two formats as input:
having all inputs as keyword arguments (like PyTorch models), or
having all inputs as a list, tuple or dict in the first positional argument.
The reason the second format is supported is that Keras methods prefer this format when passing inputs to models
and layers. Because of this support, when using methods like model.fit() things should “just work” for you - just
pass your inputs and labels in any format that model.fit() supports! If, however, you want to use the second
format outside of Keras methods like fit() and predict(), such as when creating your own layers or models with
the Keras Functional API, there are three possibilities you can use to gather all the input Tensors in the first
positional argument:
a single Tensor with input_ids only and nothing else: model(input_ids)
a list of varying length with one or several input Tensors IN THE ORDER given in the docstring:
model([input_ids, attention_mask]) or model([input_ids, attention_mask, token_type_ids])
a dictionary with one or several input Tensors associated to the input names given in the docstring:
model({"input_ids": input_ids, "token_type_ids": token_type_ids})
Note that when creating models and layers with
subclassing then you don’t need to worry
about any of this, as you can just pass inputs like you would to any other Python function!

Parameters 
config (TransfoXLConfig) — 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 Transfo XL Model transformer with a sequence classification head on top (linear layer).
TFTransfoXLForSequenceClassification uses the last token in order to do the classification, as other causal
models (e.g. GPT-1,GPT-2) do.
Since it does classification on the last token, it requires to know the position of the last token. If a
pad_token_id is defined in the configuration, it finds the last token that is not a padding token in each row. If
no pad_token_id is defined, it simply takes the last value in each row of the batch. Since it cannot guess the
padding tokens when inputs_embeds are passed instead of input_ids, it does the same (take the last value in
each row of the batch).
This model inherits from TFPreTrainedModel. 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
