Implementation of a Transformer that Ponders, using the scheme from the PonderNet paper

Overview

Ponder(ing) Transformer

Implementation of a Transformer that learns to adapt the number of computational steps it takes depending on the difficulty of the input sequence, using the scheme from the PonderNet paper. Will also try to abstract out a pondering module that can be used with any block that returns an output with the halting probability.

This repository would not have been possible without repeated viewings of Yannic's educational video

Install

$ pip install ponder-transformer

Usage

import torch
from ponder_transformer import PonderTransformer

model = PonderTransformer(
    num_tokens = 20000,
    dim = 512,
    max_seq_len = 512
)

mask = torch.ones(1, 512).bool()

x = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 512))
y = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 512))

loss = model(x, labels = y, mask = mask)
loss.backward()

Now you can set the model to .eval() mode and it will terminate early when all samples of the batch have emitted a halting signal

import torch
from ponder_transformer import PonderTransformer

model = PonderTransformer(
    num_tokens = 20000,
    dim = 512,
    max_seq_len = 512,
    causal = True
)

x = torch.randint(0, 20000, (2, 512))
mask = torch.ones(2, 512).bool()

model.eval() # setting to eval makes it return the logits as well as the halting indices

logits, layer_indices = model(x,  mask = mask) # (2, 512, 20000), (2)

# layer indices will contain, for each batch element, which layer they exited

    Evaluating ponder-net on more pondering-steps than trained on.

    As the paper says,

    In evaluation, and under known temporal or computational limitations, N can be set naively as a constant (or not set any limit, i.e. N → ∞). For training, we found that a more effective (and interpretable) way of parameterizing N is by defining a minimum cumulative probability of halting. N is then the smallest value of n such that sum( p_sub_ j > 1 − ε)over(j=1, n) , with the hyper-parameter ε positive near 0 (in our experiments 0.05).

    from that I infer that pondering can be done to more steps than trained on. How can be done so with this implementation?

    edit: I was going through the paper again,and I think what the paper means is that the max_num_pondering_steps:N should be re evaluated at every training-step, the model should be run till the condition is met or a pre-defined num of max steps is reached, and where the cumsum_probs condition will be met will be set as 'N', with the cumsum_probs normalised with one of the methods. Then that value of 'N' will be used to calc prior geom for the kl_div (and not normalising the prior geom term).

    i.e. if the num of pondering steps are initially set to 'M', then the model will recur for 'k' steps - i.e. till the condition is met or for 'M' num of max steps; then 'N' will be calculated by first calculating the probabilities - p_0 to p_k - then normalizing through one of the methods, then calculate cumulative-sum of those probabilities, and checking where the sum is greater than threshold, and assigning it the value 'N'. After that, calculating prior geometric values with the defined hyper-parameter, for 'N' seq-len, and using this in the kl-div term against the halting probs truncated to 'N' steps.

    λp is a hyper-parameter that defines a geometric prior distribution pG(λp) on the halting policy (truncated at N)
