Overview
	
The Blender chatbot model was proposed in Recipes for building an open-domain chatbot Stephen Roller, Emily Dinan, Naman Goyal, Da Ju, Mary Williamson, Yinhan Liu,
Jing Xu, Myle Ott, Kurt Shuster, Eric M. Smith, Y-Lan Boureau, Jason Weston on 30 Apr 2020.
The abstract of the paper is the following:
Building open-domain chatbots is a challenging area for machine learning research. While prior work has shown that
scaling neural models in the number of parameters and the size of the data they are trained on gives improved results,
we show that other ingredients are important for a high-performing chatbot. Good conversation requires a number of
skills that an expert conversationalist blends in a seamless way: providing engaging talking points and listening to
their partners, and displaying knowledge, empathy and personality appropriately, while maintaining a consistent
persona. We show that large scale models can learn these skills when given appropriate training data and choice of
generation strategy. We build variants of these recipes with 90M, 2.7B and 9.4B parameter models, and make our models
and code publicly available. Human evaluations show our best models are superior to existing approaches in multi-turn
dialogue in terms of engagingness and humanness measurements. We then discuss the limitations of this work by analyzing
failure cases of our models.
Tips:
Blenderbot Small is a model with absolute position embeddings so it’s usually advised to pad the inputs on the right rather than
the left.
This model was contributed by patrickvonplaten. The authors’ code can be

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a BlenderbotSmallModel. It is used to instantiate
an BlenderbotSmall 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 BlenderbotSmall
facebook/blenderbot_small-90M 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 BlenderbotSmallConfig, BlenderbotSmallModel
 # Initializing a BlenderbotSmall facebook/blenderbot_small-90M style configuration
 configuration = BlenderbotSmallConfig()
 # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the facebook/blenderbot_small-90M style configuration
 model = BlenderbotSmallModel(configuration)
 # Accessing the model configuration

Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and
PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.
What are decoder input IDs?
BlenderbotSmall uses the bos_token_id as the starting token for decoder_input_ids generation. If

past_key_values).
decoder_attention_mask (torch.LongTensor 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.

The BlenderbotSmallModel 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.

The BlenderbotSmallForConditionalGeneration 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.

class transformers.TFBlenderbotSmallModel
<

(
*args
**kwargs
)
Parameters 
config (BlenderbotSmallConfig) — 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 BLENDERBOT_SMALL Model 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!

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_flax_outputs.FlaxCausalLMOutputWithCrossAttentions or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)
Parameters 
decoder_input_ids (jnp.ndarray of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length)) —
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?
For translation and summarization training, decoder_input_ids should be provided. If no
decoder_input_ids is provided, the model will create this tensor by shifting the input_ids to the right
for denoising pre-training following the paper.
encoder_outputs (tuple(tuple(jnp.ndarray)) —
Tuple consists of (last_hidden_state, optional: hidden_states, optional: attentions)
last_hidden_state of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) is a sequence of
hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.
encoder_attention_mask (jnp.ndarray 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?
decoder_attention_mask (jnp.ndarray 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.
If you want to change padding behavior, you should modify to your needs. See diagram 1 in the
paper for more information on the default strategy.
decoder_position_ids (numpy.ndarray of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) —
Indices of positions of each decoder input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the
range [0, config.max_position_embeddings - 1].
past_key_values (Dict[str, np.ndarray], optional, returned by init_cache or when passing previous past_key_values) —
Dictionary of pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the attention blocks) that can be used for fast
auto-regressive decoding. Pre-computed key and value hidden-states are of shape [batch_size, max_length].
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.
Returns
transformers.modeling_flax_outputs.FlaxCausalLMOutputWithCrossAttentions or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)
A transformers.modeling_flax_outputs.FlaxCausalLMOutputWithCrossAttentions 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 (<class 'transformers.models.blenderbot_small.configuration_blenderbot_small.BlenderbotSmallConfig'>) and inputs.
logits (jnp.ndarray of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, config.vocab_size)) — Prediction scores of the language modeling head (scores for each vocabulary token before SoftMax).
hidden_states (tuple(jnp.ndarray), optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) — Tuple of jnp.ndarray (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(jnp.ndarray), optional, returned when output_attentions=True is passed or when config.output_attentions=True) — Tuple of jnp.ndarray (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.
cross_attentions (tuple(jnp.ndarray), optional, returned when output_attentions=True is passed or when config.output_attentions=True) — Tuple of jnp.ndarray (one for each layer) of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length).
Cross attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the
