This tutorial trains a Transformer model to translate Portuguese to English. This is an advanced example that assumes knowledge of text generation and attention.
The core idea behind the Transformer model is self-attention—the ability to attend to different positions of the input sequence to compute a representation of that sequence. Transformer creates stacks of self-attention layers and is explained below in the sections Scaled dot product attention and Multi-head attention.
A transformer model handles variable-sized input using stacks of self-attention layers instead of RNNs or CNNs. This general architecture has a number of advantages:
The downsides of this architecture are:
After training the model in this notebook, you will be able to input a Portuguese sentence and return the English translation.

This dataset contains approximately 50000 training examples, 1100 validation examples, and 2000 test examples.

The tokenizer encodes the string by breaking it into subwords if the word is not in its dictionary.

Operations inside .map() run in graph mode and receive a graph tensor that do not have a numpy attribute. The tokenizer expects a string or Unicode symbol to encode it into integers. Hence, you need to run the encoding inside a tf.py_function, which receives an eager tensor having a numpy attribute that contains the string value.

Since this model doesn't contain any recurrence or convolution, positional encoding is added to give the model some information about the relative position of the words in the sentence.
The positional encoding vector is added to the embedding vector. Embeddings represent a token in a d-dimensional space where tokens with similar meaning will be closer to each other. But the embeddings do not encode the relative position of words in a sentence. So after adding the positional encoding, words will be closer to each other based on the similarity of their meaning and their position in the sentence, in the d-dimensional space.
See the notebook on positional encoding to learn more about it. The formula for calculating the positional encoding is as follows:
$$\Large{PE_{(pos, 2i)} = sin(pos / 10000^{2i / d_{model}})} $$$$\Large{PE_{(pos, 2i+1)} = cos(pos / 10000^{2i / d_{model}})} $$

Mask all the pad tokens in the batch of sequence. It ensures that the model does not treat padding as the input. The mask indicates where pad value 0 is present: it outputs a 1 at those locations, and a 0 otherwise.
In [0]:
def create_padding_mask(seq):
seq = tf.cast(tf.math.equal(seq, 0), tf.float32)
# add extra dimensions so that we can add the padding
# to the attention logits.
return seq[:, tf.newaxis, tf.newaxis, :] # (batch_size, 1, 1, seq_len)

x = tf.constant([[7, 6, 0, 0, 1], [1, 2, 3, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 4, 5]])
create_padding_mask(x)
The look-ahead mask is used to mask the future tokens in a sequence. In other words, the mask indicates which entries should not be used.
This means that to predict the third word, only the first and second word will be used. Similarly to predict the fourth word, only the first, second and the third word will be used and so on.
In [0]:
def create_look_ahead_mask(size):
mask = 1 - tf.linalg.band_part(tf.ones((size, size)), -1, 0)

The attention function used by the transformer takes three inputs: Q (query), K (key), V (value). The equation used to calculate the attention weights is:
$$\Large{Attention(Q, K, V) = softmax_k(\frac{QK^T}{\sqrt{d_k}}) V} $$The dot-product attention is scaled by a factor of square root of the depth. This is done because for large values of depth, the dot product grows large in magnitude pushing the softmax function where it has small gradients resulting in a very hard softmax.
For example, consider that Q and K have a mean of 0 and variance of 1. Their matrix multiplication will have a mean of 0 and variance of dk. Hence, square root of dk is used for scaling (and not any other number) because the matmul of Q and K should have a mean of 0 and variance of 1, so that we get a gentler softmax.
The mask is multiplied with -1e9 (close to negative infinity). This is done because the mask is summed with the scaled matrix multiplication of Q and K and is applied immediately before a softmax. The goal is to zero out these cells, and large negative inputs to softmax are near zero in the output.

As the softmax normalization is done on K, its values decide the amount of importance given to Q.
The output represents the multiplication of the attention weights and the V (value) vector. This ensures that the words we want to focus on are kept as is and the irrelevant words are flushed out.

Multi-head attention consists of four parts:
Each multi-head attention block gets three inputs; Q (query), K (key), V (value). These are put through linear (Dense) layers and split up into multiple heads.
The scaled_dot_product_attention defined above is applied to each head (broadcasted for efficiency). An appropriate mask must be used in the attention step. The attention output for each head is then concatenated (using tf.transpose, and tf.reshape) and put through a final Dense layer.
Instead of one single attention head, Q, K, and V are split into multiple heads because it allows the model to jointly attend to information at different positions from different representational spaces. After the split each head has a reduced dimensionality, so the total computation cost is the same as a single head attention with full dimensionality.

The transformer model follows the same general pattern as a standard sequence to sequence with attention model.
N encoder layers that generates an output for each word/token in the sequence.Each encoder layer consists of sublayers:
Each of these sublayers has a residual connection around it followed by a layer normalization. Residual connections help in avoiding the vanishing gradient problem in deep networks.
The output of each sublayer is LayerNorm(x + Sublayer(x)). The normalization is done on the d_model (last) axis. There are N encoder layers in the transformer.

Each of these sublayers has a residual connection around it followed by a layer normalization. The output of each sublayer is LayerNorm(x + Sublayer(x)). The normalization is done on the d_model (last) axis.
There are N decoder layers in the transformer.
As Q receives the output from decoder's first attention block, and K receives the encoder output, the attention weights represent the importance given to the decoder's input based on the encoder's output. In other words, the decoder predicts the next word by looking at the encoder output and self-attending to its own output. See the demonstration above in the scaled dot product attention section.

Create the checkpoint path and the checkpoint manager. This will be used to save checkpoints every n epochs.
In [0]:
checkpoint_path = "./checkpoints/train"
ckpt = tf.train.Checkpoint(transformer=transformer,
optimizer=optimizer)
ckpt_manager = tf.train.CheckpointManager(ckpt, checkpoint_path, max_to_keep=5)
# if a checkpoint exists, restore the latest checkpoint.
if ckpt_manager.latest_checkpoint:
ckpt.restore(ckpt_manager.latest_checkpoint)
print ('Latest checkpoint restored!!')
The target is divided into tar_inp and tar_real. tar_inp is passed as an input to the decoder. tar_real is that same input shifted by 1: At each location in tar_input, tar_real contains the next token that should be predicted.
For example, sentence = "SOS A lion in the jungle is sleeping EOS"
tar_inp = "SOS A lion in the jungle is sleeping"
tar_real = "A lion in the jungle is sleeping EOS"
The transformer is an auto-regressive model: it makes predictions one part at a time, and uses its output so far to decide what to do next.
During training this example uses teacher-forcing (like in the text generation tutorial). Teacher forcing is passing the true output to the next time step regardless of what the model predicts at the current time step.
As the transformer predicts each word, self-attention allows it to look at the previous words in the input sequence to better predict the next word.
To prevent the model from peaking at the expected output the model uses a look-ahead mask.

The following steps are used for evaluation:
tokenizer_pt). Moreover, add the start and end token so the input is equivalent to what the model is trained with. This is the encoder input.start token == tokenizer_en.vocab_size.decoder then outputs the predictions by looking at the encoder output and its own output (self-attention).Note: The model used here has less capacity to keep the example relatively faster so the predictions maybe less right. To reproduce the results in the paper, use the entire dataset and base transformer model or transformer XL, by changing the hyperparameters above.

In this tutorial, you learned about positional encoding, multi-head attention, the importance of masking and how to create a transformer.
Try using a different dataset to train the transformer. You can also create the base transformer or transformer XL by changing the hyperparameters above. You can also use the layers defined here to create BERT and train state of the art models. Futhermore, you can implement beam search to get better predictions.
