Model Details

The XLM model was proposed in Cross-lingual Language Model Pretraining by Guillaume Lample, Alexis Conneau. xlm-clm-ende-1024 is a transformer pretrained using a causal language modeling (CLM) objective (next token prediction) for English-German.

Model Description

• Developed by: Guillaume Lample, Alexis Conneau, see associated paper
• Model type: Language model
• Language(s) (NLP): English-German
• License: Unknown

Uses

Direct Use

The model is a language model. The model can be used for causal language modeling.

Downstream Use

To learn more about this task and potential downstream uses, see the Hugging Face Multilingual Models for Inference docs.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Significant research has explored bias and fairness issues with language models (see, e.g., Sheng et al. (2021) and Bender et al. (2021)).

Recommendations

Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model.

Training

See the associated paper for details on the training data and training procedure.

Technical Specifications

The model developers write:

We implement all our models in PyTorch (Paszke et al., 2017), and train them on 64 Volta GPUs for the language modeling tasks, and 8 GPUs for the MT tasks. We use float16 operations to speed up training and to reduce the memory usage of our models.

See the associated paper for further details.

import torch
from transformers import XLMTokenizer, XLMWithLMHeadModel

tokenizer = XLMTokenizer.from_pretrained("xlm-clm-ende-1024")
model = XLMWithLMHeadModel.from_pretrained("xlm-clm-ende-1024")

input_ids = torch.tensor([tokenizer.encode("Wikipedia was used to")])  # batch size of 1

language_id = tokenizer.lang2id["en"]  # 0
langs = torch.tensor([language_id] * input_ids.shape[1])  # torch.tensor([0, 0, 0, ..., 0])

# We reshape it to be of size (batch_size, sequence_length)
langs = langs.view(1, -1)  # is now of shape [1, sequence_length] (we have a batch size of 1)

outputs = model(input_ids, langs=langs)
