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). It also includes additional features to make the entire network pure attention all the way down.

This repository supports masks on the input sequence input_mask (b x i_seq)
, the context sequence context_mask (b x c_seq)
, as well as the rarely used full attention matrix itself input_attn_mask (b x i_seq x i_seq)
, all made compatible with LSH attention. Masks are made of booleans where False
denotes masking out prior to the softmax.
The causal triangular mask is all taken care of for you if you set causal = True
.

Aran has informed me that the Reformer team used axial position embeddings with great results on longer sequences. I tested it out and indeed it works very well! So well in fact that I have decided to make this the default. You can adjust the shape and dimension of the axial embeddings by following the instructions below.
import torch
from reformer_pytorch import ReformerLM
model = ReformerLM(
num_tokens= 20000,
dim = 1024,
depth = 12,
max_seq_len = 8192,
ff_chunks = 8,
attn_chunks = 2,
causal = True,
axial_position_shape = (128, 64), # the shape must multiply up to the max_seq_len (128 x 64 = 8192)
axial_position_dims = (512, 512) # the dims must sum up to the model dimensions (512 + 512 = 1024)
)
x = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 8192)).long()
y = model(x) # (1, 8192, 20000)
If you would rather use absolute positional embeddings, you can turn it on with absolute_position_emb = True
flag on initialization.
Since version 0.17.0
, and some corrections to the reversible network, Reformer Pytorch is compatible with Microsoft's Deepspeed! If you have multiple local GPUs, you can follow the instructions / example here.

There is a bug in versions < 0.21.0
. Please upgrade to at least the version specified for the working encoder / decoder Reformer.
By popular demand, I have coded up a wrapper that removes a lot of the manual work in writing up a generic Reformer encoder / decoder architecture. To use, you would import the ReformerEncDec
class. Encoder keyword arguments would be passed with a enc_
prefix and decoder keyword arguments with dec_
. The model dimension (dim
) must be prefix free and will be shared between encoder and decoder. The framework will also take care of passing the encoder input mask to the decoder context mask, unless explicitly overridden.
import torch
from reformer_pytorch import ReformerEncDec
DE_SEQ_LEN = 4096
EN_SEQ_LEN = 4096
enc_dec = ReformerEncDec(
dim = 512,
enc_num_tokens = 20000,
enc_depth = 6,
enc_max_seq_len = DE_SEQ_LEN,
dec_num_tokens = 20000,
dec_depth = 6,
dec_max_seq_len = EN_SEQ_LEN
).cuda()
train_seq_in = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, DE_SEQ_LEN)).long().cuda()
train_seq_out = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, EN_SEQ_LEN)).long().cuda()
input_mask = torch.ones(1, DE_SEQ_LEN).bool().cuda()
loss = enc_dec(train_seq_in, train_seq_out, return_loss = True, enc_input_mask = input_mask)
loss.backward()
# learn
# evaluate with the following
eval_seq_in = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, DE_SEQ_LEN)).long().cuda()
eval_seq_out_start = torch.tensor([[0.]]).long().cuda() # assume 0 is id of start token
samples = enc_dec.generate(eval_seq_in, eval_seq_out_start, seq_len = EN_SEQ_LEN, eos_token = 1) # assume 1 is id of stop token
print(samples.shape) # (1, <= 1024) decode the tokens
To see the benefits of using PKM, the learning rate of the values must be set higher than the rest of the parameters. (Recommended to be 1e-2
)
You can follow the instructions here to set it correctly https://github.com/lucidrains/product-key-memory#learning-rates
By default, the activation function is GELU
. If you would like an alternative activation function, you can pass in the class to the keyword ff_activation
.
import torch
from reformer_pytorch import ReformerLM
from torch import nn
model = ReformerLM(
num_tokens= 20000,
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
max_seq_len = 8192,
ff_chunks = 8,
ff_dropout = 0.1,
ff_mult = 6,
ff_activation = nn.LeakyReLU,
ff_glu = True # use GLU in feedforward, from paper 'GLU Variants Improve Transformer'
)
x = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 8192)).long()
y = model(x) # (1, 8192, 20000)
To access the attention weights and bucket distribution, simply wrap the instantiated model with the Recorder
wrapper class.
import torch
from reformer_pytorch import Reformer, Recorder
model = Reformer(
dim = 512,
depth = 12,
max_seq_len = 8192,
heads = 8,
lsh_dropout = 0.1,
causal = True
).cuda()
model = Recorder(model)
x = torch.randn(1, 8192, 512).cuda()
y = model(x)
model.recordings[0] # a list of attention weights and buckets for the first forward pass
model.turn_off() # stop recording
model.turn_on() # start recording
model.clear() # clear the recordings
model = model.eject() # recover the original model and remove all listeners
Reformer comes with a slight drawback that the sequence must be neatly divisible by the bucket size * 2. I have provided a small helper tool that can help you auto-round the sequence length to the next best multiple.
import torch
from reformer_pytorch import ReformerLM, Autopadder
model = ReformerLM(
num_tokens= 20000,
dim = 1024,
depth = 12,
max_seq_len = 8192,
heads = 8,
lsh_dropout = 0.1,
causal = True,
bucket_size = 63, # odd bucket size
num_mem_kv = 77 # odd memory key length
).cuda()
model = Autopadder(model)
SEQ_LEN = 7777 # odd sequence length
keys = torch.randn(1, 137, 1024) # odd keys length
x = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, SEQ_LEN)).long().cuda()
y = model(x, keys = keys) # (1, 7777, 20000)
A lot of users are only interested in an auto-regressive language model (like GPT-2). Here is a training wrapper to make it easy to both train and evaluate on arbitrarily lengthed sequences of encoded tokens. You will have to take care of the encoding and decoding yourself.
import torch
from torch import randint
from reformer_pytorch import ReformerLM
from reformer_pytorch.generative_tools import TrainingWrapper
model = ReformerLM(
num_tokens= 20000,
dim = 1024,
depth = 12,
max_seq_len = 4096,
lsh_dropout = 0.1,
causal = True,
full_attn_thres = 1024
)
# 0 is used for padding and no loss to be calculated on it
model = TrainingWrapper(model, ignore_index = 0, pad_value = 0)
# the wrapper can handle evenly packed sequences
x_train = randint(0, 20000, (3, 357))
# or if you have a list of uneven sequences, it will be padded for you
x_train = [
randint(0, 20000, (120,)),
randint(0, 20000, (253,)),
randint(0, 20000, (846,))
]
# when training, set return_loss equal to True
model.train()
loss = model(x_train, return_loss = True)
loss.backward()
# when evaluating, just use the generate function, which will default to top_k sampling with temperature of 1.
initial = torch.tensor([[0]]).long() # assume 0 is start token
sample = model.generate(initial, 100, temperature=1., filter_thres = 0.9, eos_token = 1) # assume end token is 1, or omit and it will sample up to 100
print(sample.shape) # (1, <=100) token ids
