Reformer, the efficient Transformer, implemented in Pytorch

Reformer, the Efficient Transformer, in Pytorch

This is a Pytorch implementation of Reformer https://openreview.net/pdf?id=rkgNKkHtvB

It includes LSH attention, reversible network, and chunking. It has been validated with an auto-regressive task (enwik8).

Test 32k tokens with Colab

Install

pip install reformer_pytorch

Usage

A simple Reformer language model

# should fit in ~ 5gb - 8k tokens

import torch
from reformer_pytorch import ReformerLM

model = ReformerLM(
    num_tokens= 20000,
    emb = 512,
    depth = 12,
    max_seq_len = 8192,
    heads = 8,
    lsh_dropout = 0.1,
    causal = True,        # auto-regressive or not
    bucket_size = 64,     # average size of qk per bucket, 64 was recommended in paper
    n_hashes = 4,         # 4 is permissible per author, 8 is the best but slower
    ff_chunks = 200,      # number of chunks for feedforward layer, make higher if there are memory issues
    weight_tie = False,   # tie parameters of each layer for no memory per additional depth
    attn_chunks = 8,        # process lsh attention in chunks, only way for memory to fit when scaling to 16k tokens
    use_full_attn = False   # use full self attention, for comparison
).cuda()

x = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 8192)).long().cuda()
y = model(x) # (1, 8192, 20000)

The Reformer (just a stack of reversible LSH attention)

# should fit in ~ 5gb - 8k embeddings

import torch
from reformer_pytorch import Reformer

model = Reformer(
    emb = 512,
    depth = 12,
    max_seq_len = 8192,
    heads = 8,
    lsh_dropout = 0.1,
    causal = True
).cuda()

x = torch.randn(1, 8192, 512).cuda()
y = model(x) # (1, 8192, 512)

Self Attention with LSH

import torch
from reformer_pytorch import LSHSelfAttention

attn = LSHSelfAttention(
    emb = 128,
    heads = 8,
    bucket_size = 64,
    n_hashes = 8,
    causal = False
)

x = torch.randn(10, 1024, 128)
y = attn(x) # (10, 1024, 128)

LSH (locality sensitive hashing) Attention

import torch
from reformer_pytorch import LSHAttention

attn = LSHAttention(
    bucket_size = 64,
    n_hashes = 16,
    causal = True
)

qk = torch.randn(10, 1024, 128)
v = torch.randn(10, 1024, 128)

attn_out, buckets = attn(qk, v) # (10, 1024, 128)
# buckets will contain the bucket number (post-argmax) of each token of each batch

Todo

1. Make it so Reformer can be used as decoder where queries only attend to fed key/values
2. Recurrence like Transformer XL
3. All-attention learned memory key values
