ModernBert

##
Overview

The ModernBert model was proposed in Smarter, Better, Faster, Longer: A Modern Bidirectional Encoder for Fast, Memory Efficient, and Long Context Finetuning and Inference by Benjamin Warner, Antoine Chaffin, Benjamin Clavié, Orion Weller, Oskar Hallström, Said Taghadouini, Alexis Galalgher, Raja Bisas, Faisal Ladhak, Tom Aarsen, Nathan Cooper, Grifin Adams, Jeremy Howard and Iacopo Poli.

It is a refresh of the traditional encoder architecture, as used in previous models such as BERT and RoBERTa.

It builds on BERT and implements many modern architectural improvements which have been developed since its original release, such as:

- Rotary Positional Embeddings to support sequences of up to 8192 tokens.
- Unpadding to ensure no compute is wasted on padding tokens, speeding up processing time for batches with mixed-length sequences.
- GeGLU Replacing the original MLP layers with GeGLU layers, shown to improve performance.
- Alternating Attention where most attention layers employ a sliding window of 128 tokens, with Global Attention only used every 3 layers.
- Flash Attention to speed up processing.
- A model designed following recent The Case for Co-Designing Model Architectures with Hardware, ensuring maximum efficiency across inference GPUs.
- Modern training data scales (2 trillion tokens) and mixtures (including code ande math data)

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Encoder-only transformer models such as BERT offer a great performance-size tradeoff for retrieval and classification tasks with respect to larger decoder-only models. Despite being the workhorse of numerous production pipelines, there have been limited Pareto improvements to BERT since its release. In this paper, we introduce ModernBERT, bringing modern model optimizations to encoder-only models and representing a major Pareto improvement over older encoders. Trained on 2 trillion tokens with a native 8192 sequence length, ModernBERT models exhibit state-of-the-art results on a large pool of evaluations encompassing diverse classification tasks and both single and multi-vector retrieval on different domains (including code). In addition to strong downstream performance, ModernBERT is also the most speed and memory efficient encoder and is designed for inference on common GPUs.

The original code can be found here.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a ModernBertModel. It is used to instantiate an ModernBert 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 ModernBERT-base. e.g. answerdotai/ModernBERT-base

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

Examples:

    >>> from transformers import ModernBertModel, ModernBertConfig

    >>> # Initializing a ModernBert style configuration
    >>> configuration = ModernBertConfig()

    >>> # Initializing a model from the modernbert-base style configuration
    >>> model = ModernBertModel(configuration)

    >>> # Accessing the model configuration
    >>> configuration = model.config

Parameters

- input_ids (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default should you provide it.

  Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

  What are input IDs?

- attention_mask (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 0 indicates the head is masked.
- sliding_window_mask (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding or far-away tokens. In ModernBert, only every few layers perform global attention, while the rest perform local attention. This mask is used to avoid attending to far-away tokens in the local attention layers.

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:

    >>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, ModernBertModel
    >>> import torch

    >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("answerdotai/ModernBERT-base")
    >>> model = ModernBertModel.from_pretrained("answerdotai/ModernBERT-base")

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

    >>> last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state

- config (ModernBertConfig) — 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() method to load the model weights.

The ModernBert Model with a token classification head on top, e.g. for Named Entity Recognition (NER) tasks. This model inherits from 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 subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

Parameters

- input_ids (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default should you provide it.

  Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

  What are input IDs?

- attention_mask (`torch.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?

  Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

  If you want to change padding behavior, you should read `modeling_opt._prepare_decoder_attention_mask` and modify to your needs. See diagram 1 in the paper for more information on the default strategy.

  - 1 indicates the head is not masked,
  - 0 indicates the head is masked.
- sliding_window_mask (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding or far-away tokens. In ModernBert, only every few layers perform global attention, while the rest perform local attention. This mask is used to avoid attending to far-away tokens in the local attention layers.
- position_ids (`torch.LongTensor` 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.n_positions - 1]`.

  What are position IDs?

- indices (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(total_unpadded_tokens,)`, optional) — Indices of the non-padding tokens in the input sequence. Used for unpadding the output.
- cu_seqlens (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch + 1,)`, optional) — Cumulative sequence lengths of the input sequences. Used to index the unpadded tensors.
- max_seqlen (`int`, optional) — Maximum sequence length in the batch. Used to pad the output tensors.
- batch_size (`int`, optional) — Batch size of the input sequences. Used to pad the output tensors.
- seq_len (`int`, optional) — Sequence length of the input sequences. Used to pad the output tensors.
- 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 instead of a plain tuple.
- labels (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, optional) — Labels for computing the token classification loss. Indices should be in `[0, ..., config.num_labels - 1]`.

Returns

transformers.modeling_outputs.TokenClassifierOutput or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`

A transformers.modeling_outputs.TokenClassifierOutput 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 (ModernBertConfig) and inputs.

- loss (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(1,)`, optional, returned when `labels` is provided) — Classification loss.

- logits (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, config.num_labels)`) — Classification scores (before SoftMax).

- hidden_states (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, optional, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) — Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, + 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 optional initial embedding outputs.

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

The ModernBertForTokenClassification 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:

    >>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, ModernBertForTokenClassification
    >>> import torch

    >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("answerdotai/ModernBERT-base")
    >>> model = ModernBertForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("answerdotai/ModernBERT-base")

    >>> inputs = tokenizer(
    ...     "HuggingFace is a company based in Paris and New York", add_special_tokens=False, return_tensors="pt"
    ... )

    >>> with torch.no_grad():
    ...     logits = model(**inputs).logits

    >>> predicted_token_class_ids = logits.argmax(-1)

    >>> # Note that tokens are classified rather then input words which means that
    >>> # there might be more predicted token classes than words.
    >>> # Multiple token classes might account for the same word
    >>> predicted_tokens_classes = [model.config.id2label[t.item()] for t in predicted_token_class_ids[0]]

    >>> labels = predicted_token_class_ids
    >>> loss = model(**inputs, labels=labels).loss
