Overview
	
The I-BERT model was proposed in I-BERT: Integer-only BERT Quantization by
Sehoon Kim, Amir Gholami, Zhewei Yao, Michael W. Mahoney and Kurt Keutzer. It’s a quantized version of RoBERTa running
inference up to four times faster.
The abstract from the paper is the following:
Transformer based models, like BERT and RoBERTa, have achieved state-of-the-art results in many Natural Language
Processing tasks. However, their memory footprint, inference latency, and power consumption are prohibitive for
efficient inference at the edge, and even at the data center. While quantization can be a viable solution for this,
previous work on quantizing Transformer based models use floating-point arithmetic during inference, which cannot
efficiently utilize integer-only logical units such as the recent Turing Tensor Cores, or traditional integer-only ARM
processors. In this work, we propose I-BERT, a novel quantization scheme for Transformer based models that quantizes
the entire inference with integer-only arithmetic. Based on lightweight integer-only approximation methods for
nonlinear operations, e.g., GELU, Softmax, and Layer Normalization, I-BERT performs an end-to-end integer-only BERT
inference without any floating point calculation. We evaluate our approach on GLUE downstream tasks using
RoBERTa-Base/Large. We show that for both cases, I-BERT achieves similar (and slightly higher) accuracy as compared to
the full-precision baseline. Furthermore, our preliminary implementation of I-BERT shows a speedup of 2.4 - 4.0x for
INT8 inference on a T4 GPU system as compared to FP32 inference. The framework has been developed in PyTorch and has
been open-sourced.
This model was contributed by kssteven. The original code can be found here.

dequantize GELU, Softmax, or LayerNorm, respectively. "nonlinear" will dequantize all nonlinear layers,
i.e., GELU, Softmax, and LayerNorm.
This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a IBertModel. It is used to instantiate a I-BERT
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 IBERT
kssteven/ibert-roberta-base architecture.
Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

(
config
add_pooling_layer = True

Parameters 
config (IBertConfig) — 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

The bare I-BERT Model transformer outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top.
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.)
This model is also a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.
The model can behave as an encoder (with only self-attention) as well as a decoder, in which case a layer of
cross-attention is added between the self-attention layers, following the architecture described in Attention is
all you need by Ashish Vaswani, Noam Shazeer, Niki Parmar, Jakob Uszkoreit,
Llion Jones, Aidan N. Gomez, Lukasz Kaiser and Illia Polosukhin.

config.is_encoder_decoder=True in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used (see past_key_values
input) to speed up sequential decoding.
The IBertModel 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

Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range [0, config.max_position_embeddings - 1].
What are position IDs?
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, num_choices, 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 multiple choice classification loss. Indices should be in [0, ..., num_choices-1] where num_choices is the size of the second dimension of the input tensors. (See
input_ids above)
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 (IBertConfig) 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 IBertForMultipleChoice 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.
Example:
	Copied
 from transformers import AutoTokenizer, IBertForMultipleChoice
 import torch
 tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("kssteven/ibert-roberta-base")
 model = IBertForMultipleChoice.from_pretrained("kssteven/ibert-roberta-base")
 prompt = "In Italy, pizza served in formal settings, such as at a restaurant, is presented unsliced."
 choice0 = "It is eaten with a fork and a knife."
 choice1 = "It is eaten while held in the hand."
 labels = torch.tensor(0).unsqueeze(0)  # choice0 is correct (according to Wikipedia ;)), batch size 1
 encoding = tokenizer([prompt, prompt], [choice0, choice1], return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
 outputs = model(**{k: v.unsqueeze(0) for k, v in encoding.items()}, labels=labels)  # batch size is 1
 # the linear classifier still needs to be trained
 loss = outputs.loss

Parameters 
config (IBertConfig) — 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.
I-BERT Model with a token classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the hidden-states output) e.g. for
Named-Entity-Recognition (NER) tasks.
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.)
This model is also a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.
