# DeBERTa

## DeBERTa

### Overview

The DeBERTa model was proposed in [DeBERTa: Decoding-enhanced BERT with Disentangled Attention](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.03654) by Pengcheng He, Xiaodong Liu, Jianfeng Gao, Weizhu Chen It is based on Google’s BERT model released in 2018 and Facebook’s RoBERTa model released in 2019.

It builds on RoBERTa with disentangled attention and enhanced mask decoder training with half of the data used in RoBERTa.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

_Recent progress in pre-trained neural language models has significantly improved the performance of many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. In this paper we propose a new model architecture DeBERTa (Decoding-enhanced BERT with disentangled attention) that improves the BERT and RoBERTa models using two novel techniques. The first is the disentangled attention mechanism, where each word is represented using two vectors that encode its content and position, respectively, and the attention weights among words are computed using disentangled matrices on their contents and relative positions. Second, an enhanced mask decoder is used to replace the output softmax layer to predict the masked tokens for model pretraining. We show that these two techniques significantly improve the efficiency of model pretraining and performance of downstream tasks. Compared to RoBERTa-Large, a DeBERTa model trained on half of the training data performs consistently better on a wide range of NLP tasks, achieving improvements on MNLI by +0.9% (90.2% vs. 91.1%), on SQuAD v2.0 by +2.3% (88.4% vs. 90.7%) and RACE by +3.6% (83.2% vs. 86.8%). The DeBERTa code and pre-trained models will be made publicly available at_ [_https://github.com/microsoft/DeBERTa_](https://github.com/microsoft/DeBERTa)_._

### DebertaTokenizer

#### class transformers.DebertaTokenizer

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v4.34.1/src/transformers/models/deberta/tokenization_deberta.py#L109)

( vocab\_filemerges\_fileerrors = 'replace'bos\_token = '\[CLS]'eos\_token = '\[SEP]'sep\_token = '\[SEP]'cls\_token = '\[CLS]'unk\_token = '\[UNK]'pad\_token = '\[PAD]'mask\_token = '\[MASK]'add\_prefix\_space = Falseadd\_bos\_token = False\*\*kwargs )

Parameters

* **vocab\_file** (`str`) — Path to the vocabulary file.
* **merges\_file** (`str`) — Path to the merges file.
* **errors** (`str`, _optional_, defaults to `"replace"`) — Paradigm to follow when decoding bytes to UTF-8. See [bytes.decode](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes.decode) for more information.
* **bos\_token** (`str`, _optional_, defaults to `"[CLS]"`) — The beginning of sequence token.
* **eos\_token** (`str`, _optional_, defaults to `"[SEP]"`) — The end of sequence token.
* **sep\_token** (`str`, _optional_, defaults to `"[SEP]"`) — The separator token, which is used when building a sequence from multiple sequences, e.g. two sequences for sequence classification or for a text and a question for question answering. It is also used as the last token of a sequence built with special tokens.
* **cls\_token** (`str`, _optional_, defaults to `"[CLS]"`) — The classifier token which is used when doing sequence classification (classification of the whole sequence instead of per-token classification). It is the first token of the sequence when built with special tokens.
* **unk\_token** (`str`, _optional_, defaults to `"[UNK]"`) — The unknown token. A token that is not in the vocabulary cannot be converted to an ID and is set to be this token instead.
* **pad\_token** (`str`, _optional_, defaults to `"[PAD]"`) — The token used for padding, for example when batching sequences of different lengths.
* **mask\_token** (`str`, _optional_, defaults to `"[MASK]"`) — The token used for masking values. This is the token used when training this model with masked language modeling. This is the token which the model will try to predict.
* **add\_prefix\_space** (`bool`, _optional_, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to add an initial space to the input. This allows to treat the leading word just as any other word. (Deberta tokenizer detect beginning of words by the preceding space).
* **add\_bos\_token** (`bool`, _optional_, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to add an initial <|endoftext|> to the input. This allows to treat the leading word just as any other word.

Construct a DeBERTa tokenizer. Based on byte-level Byte-Pair-Encoding.

This tokenizer has been trained to treat spaces like parts of the tokens (a bit like sentencepiece) so a word will



be encoded differently whether it is at the beginning of the sentence (without space) or not:

Copied

```
>>> from transformers import DebertaTokenizer

>>> tokenizer = DebertaTokenizer.from_pretrained("microsoft/deberta-base")
>>> tokenizer("Hello world")["input_ids"]
[1, 31414, 232, 2]

>>> tokenizer(" Hello world")["input_ids"]
[1, 20920, 232, 2]
```

You can get around that behavior by passing `add_prefix_space=True` when instantiating this tokenizer or when you call it on some text, but since the model was not pretrained this way, it might yield a decrease in performance.

When used with `is_split_into_words=True`, this tokenizer will add a space before each word (even the first one).

This tokenizer inherits from [PreTrainedTokenizer](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/tokenizer#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer) which contains most of the main methods. Users should refer to this superclass for more information regarding those methods.

This tokenizer has been trained to treat spaces like parts of the tokens (a bit like sentencepiece) so a word will



be encoded differently whether it is at the beginning of the sentence (without space) or not:

The DeBERTa model was proposed in [DeBERTa: Decoding-enhanced BERT with Disentangled Attention](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.03654) by Pengcheng He, Xiaodong Liu, Jianfeng Gao, Weizhu Chen. It’s build on top of BERT/RoBERTa with two improvements, i.e. disentangled attention and enhanced mask decoder. With those two improvements, it out perform BERT/RoBERTa on a majority of tasks with 80GB pretraining data.

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

The DeBERTa model was proposed in [DeBERTa: Decoding-enhanced BERT with Disentangled Attention](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.03654) by Pengcheng He, Xiaodong Liu, Jianfeng Gao, Weizhu Chen. It’s build on top of BERT/RoBERTa with two improvements, i.e. disentangled attention and enhanced mask decoder. With those two improvements, it out perform BERT/RoBERTa on a majority of tasks with 80GB pretraining data.

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.

( \*args\*\*kwargs )

Parameters

* **config** ([DebertaConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/deberta#transformers.DebertaConfig)) — 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.

The bare DeBERTa Model transformer outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top. The DeBERTa model was proposed in [DeBERTa: Decoding-enhanced BERT with Disentangled Attention](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.03654) by Pengcheng He, Xiaodong Liu, Jianfeng Gao, Weizhu Chen. It’s build on top of BERT/RoBERTa with two improvements, i.e. disentangled attention and enhanced mask decoder. With those two improvements, it out perform BERT/RoBERTa on a majority of tasks with 80GB pretraining data.

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!

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v4.34.1/src/transformers/models/deberta/modeling_tf_deberta.py#L988)

( \*args\*\*kwargs )

**call**

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v4.34.1/src/keras/src/engine/training.py#L571)

( inputstraining = Nonemask = None )

Calls the model on new inputs and returns the outputs as tensors.

In this case `call()` just reapplies all ops in the graph to the new inputs (e.g. build a new computational graph from the provided inputs).

Note: This method should not be called directly. It is only meant to be overridden when subclassing `tf.keras.Model`. To call a model on an input, always use the `__call__()` method, i.e. `model(inputs)`, which relies on the underlying `call()` method.

#### class transformers.TFDebertaForSequenceClassification

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v4.34.1/src/transformers/models/deberta/modeling_tf_deberta.py#L1205)

( \*args\*\*kwargs )

Parameters

* **config** ([DebertaConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/deberta#transformers.DebertaConfig)) — 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.

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

The DeBERTa model was proposed in [DeBERTa: Decoding-enhanced BERT with Disentangled Attention](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.03654) by Pengcheng He, Xiaodong Liu, Jianfeng Gao, Weizhu Chen. It’s build on top of BERT/RoBERTa with two improvements, i.e. disentangled attention and enhanced mask decoder. With those two improvements, it out perform BERT/RoBERTa on a majority of tasks with 80GB pretraining data.

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!

*   **input\_ids** (`np.ndarray`, `tf.Tensor`, `List[tf.Tensor]` \``Dict[str, tf.Tensor]` or `Dict[str, np.ndarray]` and each example must have the 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.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 input IDs?](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/glossary#input-ids)
*   **attention\_mask** (`np.ndarray` or `tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, _optional_) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

    * 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** (`np.ndarray` 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 corresponds to a _sentence B_ token.

    [What are token type IDs?](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/glossary#token-type-ids)
*   **position\_ids** (`np.ndarray` or `tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, 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]`.

    [What are position IDs?](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/glossary#position-ids)
* **inputs\_embeds** (`np.ndarray` or `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.
* **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 \[\`\~utils.ModelOutput“] instead of a plain tuple.
* **start\_positions** (`tf.Tensor` or `np.ndarray` of shape `(batch_size,)`, _optional_) — Labels for position (index) of the start of the labelled span for computing the token classification loss. Positions are clamped to the length of the sequence (`sequence_length`). Position outside of the sequence are not taken into account for computing the loss.
* **end\_positions** (`tf.Tensor` or `np.ndarray` of shape `(batch_size,)`, _optional_) — Labels for position (index) of the end of the labelled span for computing the token classification loss. Positions are clamped to the length of the sequence (`sequence_length`). Position outside of the sequence are not taken into account for computing the loss.

Returns

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

A [transformers.modeling\_tf\_outputs.TFQuestionAnsweringModelOutput](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_tf_outputs.TFQuestionAnsweringModelOutput) or a tuple of `tf.Tensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various elements depending on the configuration ([DebertaConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/deberta#transformers.DebertaConfig)) and inputs.

* **loss** (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, )`, _optional_, returned when `start_positions` and `end_positions` are provided) — Total span extraction loss is the sum of a Cross-Entropy for the start and end positions.
* **start\_logits** (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) — Span-start scores (before SoftMax).
* **end\_logits** (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) — Span-end scores (before SoftMax).
*   **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)`.

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

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

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

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("kamalkraj/deberta-base")
>>> model = TFDebertaForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained("kamalkraj/deberta-base")

>>> question, text = "Who was Jim Henson?", "Jim Henson was a nice puppet"

>>> inputs = tokenizer(question, text, return_tensors="tf")
>>> outputs = model(**inputs)

>>> answer_start_index = int(tf.math.argmax(outputs.start_logits, axis=-1)[0])
>>> answer_end_index = int(tf.math.argmax(outputs.end_logits, axis=-1)[0])

>>> predict_answer_tokens = inputs.input_ids[0, answer_start_index : answer_end_index + 1]
```

Copied

```
>>> # target is "nice puppet"
>>> target_start_index = tf.constant([14])
>>> target_end_index = tf.constant([15])

>>> outputs = model(**inputs, start_positions=target_start_index, end_positions=target_end_index)
>>> loss = tf.math.reduce_mean(outputs.loss)
```
