M2M100

##
Overview

The M2M100 model was proposed in Beyond English-Centric Multilingual Machine Translation by Angela Fan, Shruti Bhosale, Holger Schwenk, Zhiyi Ma, Ahmed El-Kishky, Siddharth Goyal, Mandeep Baines, Onur Celebi, Guillaume Wenzek, Vishrav Chaudhary, Naman Goyal, Tom Birch, Vitaliy Liptchinsky, Sergey Edunov, Edouard Grave, Michael Auli, Armand Joulin.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Existing work in translation demonstrated the potential of massively multilingual machine translation by training a single model able to translate between any pair of languages. However, much of this work is English-Centric by training only on data which was translated from or to English. While this is supported by large sources of training data, it does not reflect translation needs worldwide. In this work, we create a true Many-to-Many multilingual translation model that can translate directly between any pair of 100 languages. We build and open source a training dataset that covers thousands of language directions with supervised data, created through large-scale mining. Then, we explore how to effectively increase model capacity through a combination of dense scaling and language-specific sparse parameters to create high quality models. Our focus on non-English-Centric models brings gains of more than 10 BLEU when directly translating between non-English directions while performing competitively to the best single systems of WMT. We open-source our scripts so that others may reproduce the data, evaluation, and final M2M-100 model.

This model was contributed by valhalla.

##
Usage tips and examples

M2M100 is a multilingual encoder-decoder (seq-to-seq) model primarily intended for translation tasks. As the model is multilingual it expects the sequences in a certain format: A special language id token is used as prefix in both the source and target text. The source text format is `[lang_code] X [eos]`, where `lang_code` is source language id for source text and target language id for target text, with `X` being the source or target text.

The M2M100Tokenizer depends on `sentencepiece` so be sure to install it before running the examples. To install `sentencepiece` run `pip install sentencepiece`.

Supervised Training

    from transformers import M2M100Config, M2M100ForConditionalGeneration, M2M100Tokenizer

    model = M2M100ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/m2m100_418M")
    tokenizer = M2M100Tokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/m2m100_418M", src_lang="en", tgt_lang="fr")

    src_text = "Life is like a box of chocolates."
    tgt_text = "La vie est comme une boîte de chocolat."

    model_inputs = tokenizer(src_text, text_target=tgt_text, return_tensors="pt")

    loss = model(**model_inputs).loss  # forward pass

Generation

M2M100 uses the `eos_token_id` as the `decoder_start_token_id` for generation with the target language id being forced as the first generated token. To force the target language id as the first generated token, pass the forced_bos_token_id parameter to the generate method. The following example shows how to translate between Hindi to French and Chinese to English using the facebook/m2m100_418M checkpoint.

    >>> from transformers import M2M100ForConditionalGeneration, M2M100Tokenizer

    >>> hi_text = "जीवन एक चॉकलेट बॉक्स की तरह है।"
    >>> chinese_text = "生活就像一盒巧克力。"

    >>> model = M2M100ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/m2m100_418M")
    >>> tokenizer = M2M100Tokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/m2m100_418M")

    >>> # translate Hindi to French
    >>> tokenizer.src_lang = "hi"
    >>> encoded_hi = tokenizer(hi_text, return_tensors="pt")
    >>> generated_tokens = model.generate(**encoded_hi, forced_bos_token_id=tokenizer.get_lang_id("fr"))
    >>> tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
    "La vie est comme une boîte de chocolat."

    >>> # translate Chinese to English
    >>> tokenizer.src_lang = "zh"
    >>> encoded_zh = tokenizer(chinese_text, return_tensors="pt")
    >>> generated_tokens = model.generate(**encoded_zh, forced_bos_token_id=tokenizer.get_lang_id("en"))
    >>> tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
    "Life is like a box of chocolate."

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a M2M100Model. It is used to instantiate an M2M100 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 M2M100 facebook/m2m100_418M architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

Example:

transformers.modeling_outputs.Seq2SeqModelOutput or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`

Parameters

- input_ids (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default should you provide it.

  Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

  What are input IDs?

- attention_mask (`torch.Tensor` 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,

  Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

  What are decoder input IDs?

  M2M100 uses the `eos_token_id` as the starting token for `decoder_input_ids` generation. If `past_key_values` is used, optionally only the last `decoder_input_ids` have to be input (see `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.
- head_mask (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(encoder_layers, encoder_attention_heads)`, optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the attention modules in the encoder. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:
  - 1 indicates the head is not masked,
  - 0 indicates the head is masked.
- decoder_head_mask (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(decoder_layers, decoder_attention_heads)`, optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the attention modules in the decoder. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.
- past_key_values (`tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor))`, optional, returned when `use_cache=True` is passed or when `config.use_cache=True`) — Tuple of `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)` of length `config.n_layers`, with each tuple having 2 tensors of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, embed_size_per_head)`) and 2 additional tensors of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, encoder_sequence_length, embed_size_per_head)`.

  Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used (see `past_key_values` input) to speed up sequential decoding.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user can optionally input only the last `decoder_input_ids` (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, 1)` instead of all `decoder_input_ids` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.

- 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.
- decoder_inputs_embeds (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length, hidden_size)`, optional) — Optionally, instead of passing `decoder_input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. If `past_key_values` is used, optionally only the last `decoder_inputs_embeds` have to be input (see `past_key_values`). This is useful if you want more control over how to convert `decoder_input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.

  If `decoder_input_ids` and `decoder_inputs_embeds` are both unset, `decoder_inputs_embeds` takes the value of `inputs_embeds`.

- use_cache (`bool`, optional) — If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see `past_key_values`).
- output_attentions (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See `attentions` under returned tensors for more detail.

The M2M100Model 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:

    >>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, M2M100Model
    >>> import torch

    >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/m2m100_418M")
    >>> model = M2M100Model.from_pretrained("facebook/m2m100_418M")

    >>> inputs = tokenizer("Hello, my dog is cute", return_tensors="pt")
    >>> outputs = model(**inputs)

    >>> last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state

  Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used (see `past_key_values` input) to speed up sequential decoding.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user can optionally input only the last `decoder_input_ids` (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, 1)` instead of all `decoder_input_ids` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.

- 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.
- decoder_inputs_embeds (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length, hidden_size)`, optional) — Optionally, instead of passing `decoder_input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. If `past_key_values` is used, optionally only the last `decoder_inputs_embeds` have to be input (see `past_key_values`). This is useful if you want more control over how to convert `decoder_input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.

  If `decoder_input_ids` and `decoder_inputs_embeds` are both unset, `decoder_inputs_embeds` takes the value of `inputs_embeds`.

- use_cache (`bool`, optional) — If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see `past_key_values`).
- 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, sequence_length)`, optional) — Labels for computing the masked language modeling loss. Indices should either be in `[0, ..., config.vocab_size]` or -100 (see `input_ids` docstring). Tokens with indices set to `-100` are ignored (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels in `[0, ..., config.vocab_size]`.

The M2M100ForConditionalGeneration 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.

Translation example:

    >>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, M2M100ForConditionalGeneration

    >>> model = M2M100ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/m2m100_418M")
    >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/m2m100_418M")

    >>> text_to_translate = "Life is like a box of chocolates"
    >>> model_inputs = tokenizer(text_to_translate, return_tensors="pt")

    >>> # translate to French
    >>> gen_tokens = model.generate(**model_inputs, forced_bos_token_id=tokenizer.get_lang_id("fr"))
    >>> print(tokenizer.batch_decode(gen_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True))

Using Flash Attention 2

Flash Attention 2 is a faster, optimized version of the attention scores computation which relies on `cuda` kernels.

###
Installation

First, check whether your hardware is compatible with Flash Attention 2. The latest list of compatible hardware can be found in the official documentation.

Next, install the latest version of Flash Attention 2:

    pip install -U flash-attn --no-build-isolation

###
Usage

To load a model using Flash Attention 2, we can pass the argument `attn_implementation="flash_attention_2"` to `.from_pretrained`. You can use either `torch.float16` or `torch.bfloat16` precision.

    >>> import torch
    >>> from transformers import M2M100ForConditionalGeneration, M2M100Tokenizer

    >>> model = M2M100ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/m2m100_418M", torch_dtype=torch.float16, attn_implementation="flash_attention_2").to("cuda").eval()
    >>> tokenizer = M2M100Tokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/m2m100_418M")

    >>> # translate Hindi to French
    >>> hi_text = "जीवन एक चॉकलेट बॉक्स की तरह है।"
    >>> tokenizer.src_lang = "hi"
    >>> encoded_hi = tokenizer(hi_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
    >>> generated_tokens = model.generate(**encoded_hi, forced_bos_token_id=tokenizer.get_lang_id("fr"))
    >>> tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
    "La vie est comme une boîte de chocolat."

###
Expected speedups

Below is an expected speedup diagram that compares pure inference time between the native implementation and the Flash Attention 2.

##
Using Scaled Dot Product Attention (SDPA)

PyTorch includes a native scaled dot-product attention (SDPA) operator as part of `torch.nn.functional`. This function encompasses several implementations that can be applied depending on the inputs and the hardware in use. See the official documentation or the GPU Inference page for more information.

SDPA is used by default for `torch>=2.1.1` when an implementation is available, but you may also set `attn_implementation="sdpa"` in `from_pretrained()` to explicitly request SDPA to be used.

    from transformers import M2M100ForConditionalGeneration
    model = M2M100ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/m2m100_418M", torch_dtype=torch.float16, attn_implementation="sdpa")
    ...

For the best speedups, we recommend loading the model in half-precision (e.g. `torch.float16` or `torch.bfloat16`).
