Overview
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The T5 model was presented in `Exploring the Limits of Transfer Learning with a Unified Text-to-Text Transformer
<https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.10683.pdf>`_ by Colin Raffel, Noam Shazeer, Adam Roberts, Katherine Lee, Sharan Narang,
Michael Matena, Yanqi Zhou, Wei Li, Peter J. Liu.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

*Transfer learning, where a model is first pre-trained on a data-rich task before being fine-tuned on a downstream
task, has emerged as a powerful technique in natural language processing (NLP). The effectiveness of transfer learning
has given rise to a diversity of approaches, methodology, and practice. In this paper, we explore the landscape of
transfer learning techniques for NLP by introducing a unified framework that converts every language problem into a
text-to-text format. Our systematic study compares pre-training objectives, architectures, unlabeled datasets, transfer
approaches, and other factors on dozens of language understanding tasks. By combining the insights from our exploration
with scale and our new "Colossal Clean Crawled Corpus", we achieve state-of-the-art results on many benchmarks covering
summarization, question answering, text classification, and more. To facilitate future work on transfer learning for
NLP, we release our dataset, pre-trained models, and code.*

Tips:

- T5 is an encoder-decoder model pre-trained on a multi-task mixture of unsupervised and supervised tasks and for which
  each task is converted into a text-to-text format. T5 works well on a variety of tasks out-of-the-box by prepending a
  different prefix to the input corresponding to each task, e.g., for translation: *translate English to German: ...*,
  for summarization: *summarize: ...*.

  For more information about which prefix to use, it is easiest to look into Appendix D of the `paper
  <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.10683.pdf>`__. - For sequence-to-sequence generation, it is recommended to use
  :obj:`T5ForConditionalGeneration.generate()``. This method takes care of feeding the encoded input via
  cross-attention layers to the decoder and auto-regressively generates the decoder output. - T5 uses relative scalar
  embeddings. Encoder input padding can be done on the left and on the right.

The original code can be found `here <https://github.com/google-research/text-to-text-transfer-transformer>`__.

Training
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

T5 is an encoder-decoder model and converts all NLP problems into a text-to-text format. It is trained using teacher
forcing. This means that for training we always need an input sequence and a target sequence. The input sequence is fed
to the model using :obj:`input_ids``. The target sequence is shifted to the right, i.e., prepended by a start-sequence
token and fed to the decoder using the :obj:`decoder_input_ids`. In teacher-forcing style, the target sequence is then
appended by the EOS token and corresponds to the :obj:`labels`. The PAD token is hereby used as the start-sequence
token. T5 can be trained / fine-tuned both in a supervised and unsupervised fashion.

- Unsupervised denoising training

  In this setup spans of the input sequence are masked by so-called sentinel tokens (*a.k.a* unique mask tokens) and
  the output sequence is formed as a concatenation of the same sentinel tokens and the *real* masked tokens. Each
  sentinel token represents a unique mask token for this sentence and should start with :obj:`<extra_id_0>`,
  :obj:`<extra_id_1>`, ... up to :obj:`<extra_id_99>`. As a default, 100 sentinel tokens are available in
  :class:`~transformers.T5Tokenizer`.

  For instance, the sentence "The cute dog walks in the park" with the masks put on "cute dog" and "the" should be
  processed as follows:

.. code-block::

  input_ids = tokenizer('The <extra_id_0> walks in <extra_id_1> park', return_tensors='pt').input_ids
  labels = tokenizer('<extra_id_0> cute dog <extra_id_1> the <extra_id_2>', return_tensors='pt').input_ids
  # the forward function automatically creates the correct decoder_input_ids
  loss = model(input_ids=input_ids, labels=labels, return_dict=True).loss

- Supervised training

  In this setup the input sequence and output sequence are standard sequence-to-sequence input output mapping. In
  translation, for instance with the input sequence "The house is wonderful." and output sequence "Das Haus ist
  wunderbar.", the sentences should be processed as follows:

.. code-block::

  input_ids = tokenizer('translate English to German: The house is wonderful.', return_tensors='pt').input_ids
  labels = tokenizer('Das Haus ist wunderbar.', return_tensors='pt').input_ids
  # the forward function automatically creates the correct decoder_input_ids
  loss = model(input_ids=input_ids, labels=labels, return_dict=True).loss
