### Overview

The ALBERT model was proposed in [ALBERT: A Lite BERT for Self-supervised Learning of Language Representations](https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.11942) by Zhenzhong Lan, Mingda Chen, Sebastian Goodman, Kevin Gimpel, Piyush Sharma, Radu Soricut. It presents two parameter-reduction techniques to lower memory consumption and increase the training speed of BERT:

* Splitting the embedding matrix into two smaller matrices.
* Using repeating layers split among groups.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

*Increasing model size when pretraining natural language representations often results in improved performance on downstream tasks. However, at some point further model increases become harder due to GPU/TPU memory limitations, longer training times, and unexpected model degradation. To address these problems, we present two parameter-reduction techniques to lower memory consumption and increase the training speed of BERT. Comprehensive empirical evidence shows that our proposed methods lead to models that scale much better compared to the original BERT. We also use a self-supervised loss that focuses on modeling inter-sentence coherence, and show it consistently helps downstream tasks with multi-sentence inputs. As a result, our best model establishes new state-of-the-art results on the GLUE, RACE, and SQuAD benchmarks while having fewer parameters compared to BERT-large.*

Tips:

* ALBERT is a model with absolute position embeddings so it’s usually advised to pad the inputs on the right rather than the left.
* ALBERT uses repeating layers which results in a small memory footprint, however the computational cost remains similar to a BERT-like architecture with the same number of hidden layers as it has to iterate through the same number of (repeating) layers.
* Embedding size E is different from hidden size H justified because the embeddings are context independent (one embedding vector represents one token), whereas hidden states are context dependent (one hidden state represents a sequence of tokens) so it’s more logical to have H >> E. Also, the embedding matrix is large since it’s V x E (V being the vocab size). If E < H, it has less parameters.
* Layers are split in groups that share parameters (to save memory). Next sentence prediction is replaced by a sentence ordering prediction: in the inputs, we have two sentences A and B (that are consecutive) and we either feed A followed by B or B followed by A. The model must predict if they have been swapped or not.

The [AlbertModel](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/albert#transformers.AlbertModel) 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.

Parameters

* **config** ([AlbertConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/albert#transformers.AlbertConfig)) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from\_pretrained()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

Albert Model with a multiple choice classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the pooled output and a softmax) e.g. for RocStories/SWAG tasks.

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

The [AlbertForQuestionAnswering](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/albert#transformers.AlbertForQuestionAnswering) 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:

Copied

```
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AlbertForQuestionAnswering
>>> import torch

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("twmkn9/albert-base-v2-squad2")
>>> model = AlbertForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained("twmkn9/albert-base-v2-squad2")

### TFAlbertModel

#### class transformers.TFAlbertModel

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v4.34.1/src/transformers/models/albert/modeling_tf_albert.py#L787)

( \*args\*\*kwargs )

Parameters

* **config** ([AlbertConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/albert#transformers.AlbertConfig)) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from\_pretrained()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

The bare Albert Model transformer outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top.

This model inherits from [TFPreTrainedModel](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.TFPreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a [tf.keras.Model](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/Model) subclass. Use it as a regular TF 2.0 Keras Model and refer to the TF 2.0 documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

TensorFlow models and layers in `transformers` accept two formats as input:

* having all inputs as keyword arguments (like PyTorch models), or
* having all inputs as a list, tuple or dict in the first positional argument.

The reason the second format is supported is that Keras methods prefer this format when passing inputs to models and layers. Because of this support, when using methods like `model.fit()` things should “just work” for you - just pass your inputs and labels in any format that `model.fit()` supports! If, however, you want to use the second format outside of Keras methods like `fit()` and `predict()`, such as when creating your own layers or models with the Keras `Functional` API, there are three possibilities you can use to gather all the input Tensors in the first positional argument:

* a single Tensor with `input_ids` only and nothing else: `model(input_ids)`
* a list of varying length with one or several input Tensors IN THE ORDER given in the docstring: `model([input_ids, attention_mask])` or `model([input_ids, attention_mask, token_type_ids])`
* a dictionary with one or several input Tensors associated to the input names given in the docstring: `model({"input_ids": input_ids, "token_type_ids": token_type_ids})`

Note that when creating models and layers with [subclassing](https://keras.io/guides/making_new_layers_and_models_via_subclassing/) then you don’t need to worry about any of this, as you can just pass inputs like you would to any other Python function!

Parameters

* **input\_ids** (`Numpy array` or `tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

  Indices can be obtained using [AutoTokenizer](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoTokenizer). See [PreTrainedTokenizer.**call**()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/vits#transformers.VitsTokenizer.__call__) and [PreTrainedTokenizer.encode()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/tokenizer#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerFast.encode) for details.

  * 1 for tokens that are **not masked**,
  * 0 for tokens that are **masked**.

  [What are attention masks?](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/glossary#attention-mask)
* **token\_type\_ids** (`Numpy array` or `tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) — Segment token indices to indicate first and second portions of the inputs. Indices are selected in `[0, 1]`:

  * 0 corresponds to a *sentence A* token,

  * 1 indicates the head is **not masked**,
  * 0 indicates the head is **masked**.
* **inputs\_embeds** (`tf.Tensor` 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.
* **output\_attentions** (`bool`, *optional*) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See `attentions` under returned tensors for more detail. This argument can be used only in eager mode, in graph mode the value in the config will be used instead.
* **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. This argument can be used only in eager mode, in graph mode the value in the config will be used instead.

This argument can be used in eager mode, in graph mode the value will always be set to True.
* **training** (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to use the model in training mode (some modules like dropout modules have different behaviors between training and evaluation).

Returns

[transformers.modeling\_tf\_outputs.TFBaseModelOutputWithPooling](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_tf_outputs.TFBaseModelOutputWithPooling) or `tuple(tf.Tensor)`

* **pooler\_output** (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, hidden_size)`) — Last layer hidden-state of the first token of the sequence (classification token) further processed by a Linear layer and a Tanh activation function. The Linear layer weights are trained from the next sentence prediction (classification) objective during pretraining.

  This output is usually *not* a good summary of the semantic content of the input, you’re often better with averaging or pooling the sequence of hidden-states for the whole input sequence.
* **hidden\_states** (`tuple(tf.Tensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) — Tuple of `tf.Tensor` (one for the output of the embeddings + one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

Indices should be in `[-100, 0, ..., config.vocab_size]` (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]`

#### class transformers.TFAlbertForSequenceClassification

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v4.34.1/src/transformers/models/albert/modeling_tf_albert.py#L1046)

( \*args\*\*kwargs )

Parameters

* **config** ([AlbertConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/albert#transformers.AlbertConfig)) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from\_pretrained()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

Albert Model transformer with a sequence classification/regression head on top (a linear layer on top of the pooled output) e.g. for GLUE tasks.

This model inherits from [TFPreTrainedModel](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.TFPreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a [tf.keras.Model](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/Model) subclass. Use it as a regular TF 2.0 Keras Model and refer to the TF 2.0 documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

TensorFlow models and layers in `transformers` accept two formats as input:

* having all inputs as keyword arguments (like PyTorch models), or
* having all inputs as a list, tuple or dict in the first positional argument.

The reason the second format is supported is that Keras methods prefer this format when passing inputs to models and layers. Because of this support, when using methods like `model.fit()` things should “just work” for you - just pass your inputs and labels in any format that `model.fit()` supports! If, however, you want to use the second format outside of Keras methods like `fit()` and `predict()`, such as when creating your own layers or models with the Keras `Functional` API, there are three possibilities you can use to gather all the input Tensors in the first positional argument:

* a single Tensor with `input_ids` only and nothing else: `model(input_ids)`
* a list of varying length with one or several input Tensors IN THE ORDER given in the docstring: `model([input_ids, attention_mask])` or `model([input_ids, attention_mask, token_type_ids])`
* a dictionary with one or several input Tensors associated to the input names given in the docstring: `model({"input_ids": input_ids, "token_type_ids": token_type_ids})`

Note that when creating models and layers with [subclassing](https://keras.io/guides/making_new_layers_and_models_via_subclassing/) then you don’t need to worry about any of this, as you can just pass inputs like you would to any other Python function!

#### class transformers.TFAlbertForQuestionAnswering

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v4.34.1/src/transformers/models/albert/modeling_tf_albert.py#L1211)

( \*args\*\*kwargs )

Parameters

* **config** ([AlbertConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/albert#transformers.AlbertConfig)) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from\_pretrained()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

Albert Model with a span classification head on top for extractive question-answering tasks like SQuAD (a linear layer on top of the hidden-states output to compute `span start logits` and `span end logits`).

This model inherits from [TFPreTrainedModel](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.TFPreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a [tf.keras.Model](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/Model) subclass. Use it as a regular TF 2.0 Keras Model and refer to the TF 2.0 documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

TensorFlow models and layers in `transformers` accept two formats as input:

* having all inputs as keyword arguments (like PyTorch models), or
* having all inputs as a list, tuple or dict in the first positional argument.

The reason the second format is supported is that Keras methods prefer this format when passing inputs to models and layers. Because of this support, when using methods like `model.fit()` things should “just work” for you - just pass your inputs and labels in any format that `model.fit()` supports! If, however, you want to use the second format outside of Keras methods like `fit()` and `predict()`, such as when creating your own layers or models with the Keras `Functional` API, there are three possibilities you can use to gather all the input Tensors in the first positional argument:

* a single Tensor with `input_ids` only and nothing else: `model(input_ids)`
* a list of varying length with one or several input Tensors IN THE ORDER given in the docstring: `model([input_ids, attention_mask])` or `model([input_ids, attention_mask, token_type_ids])`
* a dictionary with one or several input Tensors associated to the input names given in the docstring: `model({"input_ids": input_ids, "token_type_ids": token_type_ids})`

Note that when creating models and layers with [subclassing](https://keras.io/guides/making_new_layers_and_models_via_subclassing/) then you don’t need to worry about any of this, as you can just pass inputs like you would to any other Python function!

* **position\_ids** (`numpy.ndarray` of shape `(batch_size, num_choices, sequence_length)`, *optional*) — Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range `[0, config.max_position_embeddings - 1]`.
* **return\_dict** (`bool`, *optional*) — Whether or not to return a [ModelOutput](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/output#transformers.utils.ModelOutput) instead of a plain tuple.

Returns

[transformers.modeling\_flax\_outputs.FlaxMultipleChoiceModelOutput](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_flax_outputs.FlaxMultipleChoiceModelOutput) or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`

A [transformers.modeling\_flax\_outputs.FlaxMultipleChoiceModelOutput](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_flax_outputs.FlaxMultipleChoiceModelOutput) or a tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various elements depending on the configuration ([AlbertConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/albert#transformers.AlbertConfig)) and inputs.

  Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the initial embedding outputs.
* **attentions** (`tuple(jnp.ndarray)`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) — Tuple of `jnp.ndarray` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length)`.

The `FlaxAlbertPreTrainedModel` 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:

Copied

```
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, FlaxAlbertForMultipleChoice

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("albert-base-v2")
>>> model = FlaxAlbertForMultipleChoice.from_pretrained("albert-base-v2")

>>> prompt = "In Italy, pizza served in formal settings, such as at a restaurant, is presented unsliced."
>>> choice0 = "It is eaten with a fork and a knife."
>>> choice1 = "It is eaten while held in the hand."

>>> encoding = tokenizer([prompt, prompt], [choice0, choice1], return_tensors="jax", padding=True)
>>> outputs = model(**{k: v[None, :] for k, v in encoding.items()})

#### class transformers.FlaxAlbertForTokenClassification

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v4.34.1/src/transformers/models/albert/modeling_flax_albert.py#L1041)

( config: AlbertConfiginput\_shape: typing.Tuple = (1, 1)seed: int = 0dtype: dtype = \<class 'jax.numpy.float32'>\_do\_init: bool = True\*\*kwargs )

Parameters

* **config** ([AlbertConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/albert#transformers.AlbertConfig)) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from\_pretrained()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.FlaxPreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.
* **dtype** (`jax.numpy.dtype`, *optional*, defaults to `jax.numpy.float32`) — The data type of the computation. Can be one of `jax.numpy.float32`, `jax.numpy.float16` (on GPUs) and `jax.numpy.bfloat16` (on TPUs).

  This can be used to enable mixed-precision training or half-precision inference on GPUs or TPUs. If specified all the computation will be performed with the given `dtype`.

  **Note that this only specifies the dtype of the computation and does not influence the dtype of model parameters.**

  If you wish to change the dtype of the model parameters, see [to\_fp16()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.FlaxPreTrainedModel.to_fp16) and [to\_bf16()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.FlaxPreTrainedModel.to_bf16).

Albert Model with a token classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the hidden-states output) e.g. for Named-Entity-Recognition (NER) tasks.

This model inherits from [FlaxPreTrainedModel](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.FlaxPreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading, saving and converting weights from PyTorch models)

This model is also a Flax Linen [flax.linen.Module](https://flax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/flax.linen.html#module) subclass. Use it as a regular Flax linen Module and refer to the Flax documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

Finally, this model supports inherent JAX features such as:

* [Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation](https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/jax.html#just-in-time-compilation-jit)
* [Automatic Differentiation](https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/jax.html#automatic-differentiation)
* [Vectorization](https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/jax.html#vectorization-vmap)
* [Parallelization](https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/jax.html#parallelization-pmap)
