Transformers have been essential to pretraining success in NLP. While other architectures have been used, downstream accuracy is either significantly worse, or requires attention layers to match standard benchmarks such as GLUE. This work explores pretraining without attention by using recent advances in sequence routing based on state-space models (SSMs). Our proposed model, Bidirectional Gated SSM (BiGS), combines SSM layers with a multiplicative gating architecture that has been effective in simplified sequence modeling architectures. The model learns static layers that do not consider pair-wise interactions. Even so, BiGS is able to match BERT pretraining accuracy on GLUE and can be extended to long-form pretraining of 4096 tokens without approximation. Analysis shows that while the models have similar accuracy, the approach has significantly different inductive biases than BERT in terms of interactions and syntactic representations. |

### Load Masked Language Model |
|
|
|
```python |
|
import jax |
|
from jax import numpy as jnp |
|
from transformers import BertTokenizer |
|
from BiGS.modeling_flax_bigs import FlaxBiGSForMaskedLM |
|
|
|
tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('bert-large-uncased') |
|
model = FlaxBiGSForMaskedLM.from_pretrained('JunxiongWang/BiGS_512') |
|
|
|
text = "The goal of life is [MASK]." |
|
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='np', padding='max_length', max_length=512) |
|
output = model(**encoded_input) |
|
tokenizer.convert_ids_to_tokens(jnp.flip(jnp.argsort(jax.nn.softmax(output.logits[encoded_input['input_ids']==103]))[0])[:10]) |
|
# output: ['happiness', 'love', 'peace', 'perfection', 'life', 'enlightenment', 'god', 'survival', 'freedom', 'good'] |
|
jnp.flip(jnp.sort(jax.nn.softmax(output.logits[encoded_input['input_ids']==103]))[0])[:10] |
|
# probability: [0.16052087, 0.04306792, 0.03651363, 0.03468223, 0.02927081, 0.02549769, 0.02385132, 0.02261189, 0.01672831, 0.01619471] |
|
|
|
text = "Paris is the [MASK] of France." |
|
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='np', padding='max_length', max_length=512) |
|
output = model(**encoded_input) |
|
tokenizer.convert_ids_to_tokens(jnp.flip(jnp.argsort(jax.nn.softmax(output.logits[encoded_input['input_ids']==103]))[0])[:10]) |
|
# output: ['capital', 'centre', 'center', 'city', 'capitol', 'prefecture', 'headquarters', 'president', 'metropolis', 'heart'] |
|
jnp.flip(jnp.sort(jax.nn.softmax(output.logits[encoded_input['input_ids']==103]))[0])[:10] |
|
# probability: [0.9981787 , 0.00034076, 0.00026992, 0.00026926, 0.00017787, 0.00004816, 0.00004256, 0.00003716, 0.00003634, 0.00002893] |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### Load Sequence Classification Model |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from BiGS.modeling_flax_bigs import FlaxBiGSForSequenceClassification |
|
model = FlaxBiGSForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('JunxiongWang/BiGS_512') |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### Load Question Answering Model |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from BiGS.modeling_flax_bigs import FlaxBiGSForQuestionAnswering |
|
model = FlaxBiGSForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained('JunxiongWang/BiGS_512') |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### Load Multiple Choice Classification Model |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from BiGS.modeling_flax_bigs import FlaxBiGSForMultipleChoice |
|
model = FlaxBiGSForMultipleChoice.from_pretrained('JunxiongWang/BiGS_512') |
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
### GLUE Experiments |
|
|
|
GLUE is made up of a total of 9 different tasks. You can use this python [script](https://github.com/jxiw/BiGS/blob/main/run_glue2.py) to run GLUE tasks. |
|
|
|
We finetune BiGS on TPU-v3 with 8 cores. Since the batch size per device is 2, the total number of batch size is 16. |
|
|
|
``` |
|
export TASK_NAME=cola |
|
|
|
python run_glue2.py \ |
|
--model_name_or_path JunxiongWang/BiGS_512 \ |
|
--task_name $TASK_NAME \ |
|
--max_seq_length 512 \ |
|
--learning_rate 2e-5 \ |
|
--num_train_epochs 3 \ |
|
--per_device_train_batch_size 2 \ |
|
--logging_steps 100 \ |
|
--eval_steps 500 \ |
|
--weight_decay 0.01 \ |
|
--output_dir BiGS_$TASK_NAME/ |
|
``` |
|
|
|
Those give us the following result |
