Overview
	
The ConvBERT model was proposed in ConvBERT: Improving BERT with Span-based Dynamic Convolution by Zihang Jiang, Weihao Yu, Daquan Zhou, Yunpeng Chen, Jiashi Feng, Shuicheng
Yan.
The abstract from the paper is the following:
Pre-trained language models like BERT and its variants have recently achieved impressive performance in various
natural language understanding tasks. However, BERT heavily relies on the global self-attention block and thus suffers
large memory footprint and computation cost. Although all its attention heads query on the whole input sequence for
generating the attention map from a global perspective, we observe some heads only need to learn local dependencies,
which means the existence of computation redundancy. We therefore propose a novel span-based dynamic convolution to
replace these self-attention heads to directly model local dependencies. The novel convolution heads, together with the
rest self-attention heads, form a new mixed attention block that is more efficient at both global and local context
learning. We equip BERT with this mixed attention design and build a ConvBERT model. Experiments have shown that
ConvBERT significantly outperforms BERT and its variants in various downstream tasks, with lower training cost and
fewer model parameters. Remarkably, ConvBERTbase model achieves 86.4 GLUE score, 0.7 higher than ELECTRAbase, while
using less than 1/4 training cost. Code and pre-trained models will be released.
ConvBERT training tips are similar to those of BERT.
This model was contributed by abhishek. The original implementation can be found

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a ConvBertModel. It is used to instantiate an
ConvBERT 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 ConvBERT
YituTech/conv-bert-base architecture.
Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.
Example:
	Copied
 from transformers import ConvBertConfig, ConvBertModel
 # Initializing a ConvBERT convbert-base-uncased style configuration
 configuration = ConvBertConfig()
 # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the convbert-base-uncased style configuration
 model = ConvBertModel(configuration)
 # Accessing the model configuration

input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, num_choices, 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, num_choices, sequence_length), optional) —
Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:
Returns
transformers.modeling_outputs.MultipleChoiceModelOutput or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)
A transformers.modeling_outputs.MultipleChoiceModelOutput 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 (ConvBertConfig) and inputs.
loss (torch.FloatTensor of shape (1,), optional, returned when labels is provided) — Classification loss.
logits (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, num_choices)) — num_choices is the second dimension of the input tensors. (see input_ids above).
Classification scores (before SoftMax).
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.
The ConvBertForMultipleChoice 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.

Parameters 
config (ConvBertConfig) — 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 ConvBERT 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!

(
*args
**kwargs
)
Parameters 
config (ConvBertConfig) — 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.
ConvBERT Model with a multiple choice classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the pooled output and a
softmax) e.g. for RocStories/SWAG tasks.
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!
