# Blenderbot Small

## Blenderbot Small

Note that [BlenderbotSmallModel](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/blenderbot-small#transformers.BlenderbotSmallModel) and [BlenderbotSmallForConditionalGeneration](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/blenderbot-small#transformers.BlenderbotSmallForConditionalGeneration) are only used in combination with the checkpoint [facebook/blenderbot-90M](https://huggingface.co/facebook/blenderbot-90M). Larger Blenderbot checkpoints should instead be used with [BlenderbotModel](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/blenderbot#transformers.BlenderbotModel) and [BlenderbotForConditionalGeneration](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/blenderbot#transformers.BlenderbotForConditionalGeneration)

### Overview

The Blender chatbot model was proposed in [Recipes for building an open-domain chatbot](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.13637.pdf) Stephen Roller, Emily Dinan, Naman Goyal, Da Ju, Mary Williamson, Yinhan Liu, Jing Xu, Myle Ott, Kurt Shuster, Eric M. Smith, Y-Lan Boureau, Jason Weston on 30 Apr 2020.

The abstract of the paper is the following:

*Building open-domain chatbots is a challenging area for machine learning research. While prior work has shown that scaling neural models in the number of parameters and the size of the data they are trained on gives improved results, we show that other ingredients are important for a high-performing chatbot. Good conversation requires a number of skills that an expert conversationalist blends in a seamless way: providing engaging talking points and listening to their partners, and displaying knowledge, empathy and personality appropriately, while maintaining a consistent persona. We show that large scale models can learn these skills when given appropriate training data and choice of generation strategy. We build variants of these recipes with 90M, 2.7B and 9.4B parameter models, and make our models and code publicly available. Human evaluations show our best models are superior to existing approaches in multi-turn dialogue in terms of engagingness and humanness measurements. We then discuss the limitations of this work by analyzing failure cases of our models.*

Tips:

* Blenderbot Small is a model with absolute position embeddings so it’s usually advised to pad the inputs on the right rather than the left.

This model was contributed by [patrickvonplaten](https://huggingface.co/patrickvonplaten). The authors’ code can be found [here](https://github.com/facebookresearch/ParlAI).

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [BlenderbotSmallModel](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/blenderbot-small#transformers.BlenderbotSmallModel). It is used to instantiate an BlenderbotSmall model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the BlenderbotSmall [facebook/blenderbot\_small-90M](https://huggingface.co/facebook/blenderbot_small-90M) architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from [PretrainedConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PretrainedConfig) and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from [PretrainedConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PretrainedConfig) for more information.

Example:

Copied

```
>>> from transformers import BlenderbotSmallConfig, BlenderbotSmallModel

>>> # Initializing a BlenderbotSmall facebook/blenderbot_small-90M style configuration
>>> configuration = BlenderbotSmallConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the facebook/blenderbot_small-90M style configuration
>>> model = BlenderbotSmallModel(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration

  * 0 for tokens that are **masked**.

  [What are attention masks?](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/glossary#attention-mask)
* **decoder\_input\_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length)`, *optional*) — Indices of decoder 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.encode()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/tokenizer#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerFast.encode) and [PreTrainedTokenizer.**call**()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/vits#transformers.VitsTokenizer.__call__) for details.

  [What are decoder input IDs?](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/glossary#decoder-input-ids)

  BlenderbotSmall uses the `bos_token_id` as the starting token for `decoder_input_ids` generation. If `past_key_values` is used, optionally only the last `decoder_input_ids` have to be input (see `past_key_values`).
* **decoder\_attention\_mask** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length)`, *optional*) — Default behavior: generate a tensor that ignores pad tokens in `decoder_input_ids`. Causal mask will also be used by default.
* **head\_mask** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(encoder_layers, encoder_attention_heads)`, *optional*) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the attention modules in the encoder. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:
  * 1 indicates the head is **not masked**,
  * 0 indicates the head is **masked**.
* **decoder\_head\_mask** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(decoder_layers, decoder_attention_heads)`, *optional*) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the attention modules in the decoder. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:
  * 1 indicates the head is **not masked**,
  * 0 indicates the head is **masked**.
* **cross\_attn\_head\_mask** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(decoder_layers, decoder_attention_heads)`, *optional*) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the cross-attention modules in the decoder. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:
  * 1 indicates the head is **not masked**,
  * 0 indicates the head is **masked**.
* **encoder\_outputs** (`tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*) — Tuple consists of (`last_hidden_state`, *optional*: `hidden_states`, *optional*: `attentions`) `last_hidden_state` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) is a sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.
* **past\_key\_values** (`tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor))`, *optional*, returned when `use_cache=True` is passed or when `config.use_cache=True`) — Tuple of `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)` of length `config.n_layers`, with each tuple having 2 tensors of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, embed_size_per_head)`) and 2 additional tensors of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, encoder_sequence_length, embed_size_per_head)`.

  Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used (see `past_key_values` input) to speed up sequential decoding.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user can optionally input only the last `decoder_input_ids` (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, 1)` instead of all `decoder_input_ids` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`. inputs\_embeds (`torch.FloatTensor` 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.
* **decoder\_inputs\_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) — Optionally, instead of passing `decoder_input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. If `past_key_values` is used, optionally only the last `decoder_inputs_embeds` have to be input (see `past_key_values`). This is useful if you want more control over how to convert `decoder_input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.

  If `decoder_input_ids` and `decoder_inputs_embeds` are both unset, `decoder_inputs_embeds` takes the value of `inputs_embeds`.

  If `past_key_values` is used only the last hidden-state of the sequences of shape `(batch_size, 1, hidden_size)` is output.

* **decoder\_attentions** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) — Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length)`.

  Attentions weights of the decoder, after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads.
* **cross\_attentions** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) — Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length)`.

  Attentions weights of the encoder, after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads.

The [BlenderbotSmallModel](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/blenderbot-small#transformers.BlenderbotSmallModel) 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, BlenderbotSmallModel

>>> model = BlenderbotSmallModel.from_pretrained("facebook/blenderbot_small-90M")
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/blenderbot_small-90M")

>>> inputs = tokenizer("Studies have been shown that owning a dog is good for you", return_tensors="pt")
>>> decoder_inputs = tokenizer("Studies show that", return_tensors="pt")  # Batch size 1
>>> outputs = model(input_ids=inputs.input_ids, decoder_input_ids=decoder_inputs.input_ids)

>>> last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state
>>> list(last_hidden_states.shape)

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 BlenderbotSmall Model with a language modeling head. Can be used for summarization. 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.

* **decoder\_input\_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length)`, *optional*) — Indices of decoder input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

  [What are decoder input IDs?](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/glossary#decoder-input-ids)

  BlenderbotSmall uses the `bos_token_id` as the starting token for `decoder_input_ids` generation. If `past_key_values` is used, optionally only the last `decoder_input_ids` have to be input (see `past_key_values`).
* **decoder\_attention\_mask** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length)`, *optional*) — Default behavior: generate a tensor that ignores pad tokens in `decoder_input_ids`. Causal mask will also be used by default.
* **head\_mask** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(encoder_layers, encoder_attention_heads)`, *optional*) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the attention modules in the encoder. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:
  * 1 indicates the head is **not masked**,
  * 0 indicates the head is **masked**.
* **decoder\_head\_mask** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(decoder_layers, decoder_attention_heads)`, *optional*) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the attention modules in the decoder. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:
  * 1 indicates the head is **not masked**,
  * 0 indicates the head is **masked**.
* **cross\_attn\_head\_mask** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(decoder_layers, decoder_attention_heads)`, *optional*) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the cross-attention modules in the decoder. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:
  * 1 indicates the head is **not masked**,
  * 0 indicates the head is **masked**.
* **encoder\_outputs** (`tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*) — Tuple consists of (`last_hidden_state`, *optional*: `hidden_states`, *optional*: `attentions`) `last_hidden_state` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) is a sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.
* **past\_key\_values** (`tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor))`, *optional*, returned when `use_cache=True` is passed or when `config.use_cache=True`) — Tuple of `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)` of length `config.n_layers`, with each tuple having 2 tensors of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, embed_size_per_head)`) and 2 additional tensors of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, encoder_sequence_length, embed_size_per_head)`.

  Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used (see `past_key_values` input) to speed up sequential decoding.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user can optionally input only the last `decoder_input_ids` (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, 1)` instead of all `decoder_input_ids` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`. inputs\_embeds (`torch.FloatTensor` 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.
* **decoder\_inputs\_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) — Optionally, instead of passing `decoder_input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. If `past_key_values` is used, optionally only the last `decoder_inputs_embeds` have to be input (see `past_key_values`). This is useful if you want more control over how to convert `decoder_input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.

  If `decoder_input_ids` and `decoder_inputs_embeds` are both unset, `decoder_inputs_embeds` takes the value of `inputs_embeds`.
* **use\_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) — If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see `past_key_values`).
* **output\_attentions** (`bool`, *optional*) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See `attentions` under returned tensors for more detail.
* **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.
* **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.
* **labels** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) — Labels for computing the masked language modeling loss. Indices should either be in `[0, ..., config.vocab_size]` or -100 (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]`.

The [BlenderbotSmallForConditionalGeneration](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/blenderbot-small#transformers.BlenderbotSmallForConditionalGeneration) 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.

#### class transformers.TFBlenderbotSmallModel

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v4.34.1/src/transformers/models/blenderbot_small/modeling_tf_blenderbot_small.py#L1130)

( \*args\*\*kwargs )

Parameters

* **config** ([BlenderbotSmallConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/blenderbot-small#transformers.BlenderbotSmallConfig)) — 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.TFPreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

The bare BLENDERBOT\_SMALL Model 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!

The [TFBlenderbotSmallModel](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/blenderbot-small#transformers.TFBlenderbotSmallModel) 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, TFBlenderbotSmallModel
>>> import tensorflow as tf

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/blenderbot_small-90M")
>>> model = TFBlenderbotSmallModel.from_pretrained("facebook/blenderbot_small-90M")

>>> inputs = tokenizer("Hello, my dog is cute", return_tensors="tf")
>>> outputs = model(inputs)

>>> last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state

( \*args\*\*kwargs )

Parameters

* **config** ([BlenderbotSmallConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/blenderbot-small#transformers.BlenderbotSmallConfig)) — 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.TFPreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

The BLENDERBOT\_SMALL Model with a language modeling head. Can be used for summarization. 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!

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

Parameters

* **config** ([BlenderbotSmallConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/blenderbot-small#transformers.BlenderbotSmallConfig)) — 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).

The BLENDERBOT\_SMALL Model with a language modeling head. Can be used for summarization. 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 or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a Flax Linen [flax.nn.Module](https://flax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_autosummary/flax.nn.module.html) subclass. Use it as a regular Flax 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)

The `FlaxBlenderbotSmallPreTrainedModel` 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.
