BART-SLED (SLiding-Encoder and Decoder, large-sized model)

SLED models use pretrained, short-range encoder-decoder models, and apply them over long-text inputs by splitting the input into multiple overlapping chunks, encoding each independently and perform fusion-in-decoder

Model description

This SLED model is based on the BART model, which is described in its model card. BART is particularly effective when fine-tuned for text generation (e.g. summarization, translation) but also works well for comprehension tasks (e.g. text classification, question answering). When used as a BART-SLED model, it can be applied on long text tasks.

This model was finetuned on the GovReport

Intended uses & limitations

You can use the raw model for text infilling. However, the model is mostly meant to be fine-tuned on a supervised dataset.

How to use

To use the model, you first need to install py-sled in your environment (or clone the code from the official repository)

pip install py-sled

For more installation instructions, see here.

Once installed, SLED is fully compatible with HuggingFace's AutoClasses (AutoTokenizer, AutoConfig, AutoModel and AutoModelForCausalLM) and can be loaded using the from_pretrained methods

import sled   # *** required so that SledModels will be registered for the AutoClasses ***
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('tau/bart-large-sled')

Here is how to use this model in PyTorch:

from sled import SledTokenizer, SledModel
tokenizer = SledTokenizer.from_pretrained('tau/bart-large-sled')
model = SledModel.from_pretrained('tau/bart-large-sled')
inputs = tokenizer("Hello, my dog is cute", return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)
last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state

You can also replace SledModel by SledModelForConditionalGeneration for Seq2Seq generation

model = SledModelForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained('tau/bart-large-sled')

In case you wish to apply SLED on a task containing a prefix (e.g. question) which should be given as a context to every chunk, you can pass the prefix_length tensor input as well (A LongTensor in the length of the batch size).

import torch
import sled   # *** required so that SledModels will be registered for the AutoClasses ***
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('tau/bart-large-sled')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('tau/bart-large-sled')
document_input_ids = tokenizer("Dogs are great for you.", return_tensors="pt").input_ids
prefix_input_ids = tokenizer("Are dogs good for you?", return_tensors="pt").input_ids
input_ids = torch.cat((prefix_input_ids, document_input_ids), dim=-1)
attention_mask = torch.ones_like(input_ids)
prefix_length = torch.LongTensor([[prefix_input_ids.size(1)]])

outputs = model(input_ids=input_ids, attention_mask=attention_mask, prefix_length=prefix_length)
last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state
