MultiHeadAttention layer

Description

This is an implementation of multi-headed attention based on "Attention is all you Need". If query, key, value are the same, then this is self-attention. Each timestep in query attends to the corresponding sequence in key, and returns a fixed-width vector.

Usage

layer_multi_head_attention(
  inputs,
  num_heads,
  key_dim,
  value_dim = NULL,
  dropout = 0,
  use_bias = TRUE,
  output_shape = NULL,
  attention_axes = NULL,
  kernel_initializer = "glorot_uniform",
  bias_initializer = "zeros",
  kernel_regularizer = NULL,
  bias_regularizer = NULL,
  activity_regularizer = NULL,
  kernel_constraint = NULL,
  bias_constraint = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

inputs

List of the following tensors:

  • query: Query Tensor of shape ⁠[batch_size, Tq, dim]⁠.

  • value: Value Tensor of shape ⁠[batch_size, Tv, dim]⁠.

  • key: Optional key Tensor of shape ⁠[batch_size, Tv, dim]⁠. If not given, will use value for both key and value, which is the most common case.

num_heads

Number of attention heads.

key_dim

Size of each attention head for query and key.

value_dim

Size of each attention head for value.

dropout

Dropout probability.

use_bias

Boolean, whether the dense layers use bias vectors/matrices.

output_shape

The expected shape of an output tensor, besides the batch and sequence dims. If not specified, projects back to the key feature dim.

attention_axes

axes over which the attention is applied. None means attention over all axes, but batch, heads, and features.

kernel_initializer

Initializer for dense layer kernels.

bias_initializer

Initializer for dense layer biases.

kernel_regularizer

Regularizer for dense layer kernels.

bias_regularizer

Regularizer for dense layer biases.

activity_regularizer

Regularizer for dense layer activity.

kernel_constraint

Constraint for dense layer kernels.

bias_constraint

Constraint for dense layer kernels.

...

Other arguments passed to the layer. Eg, name, training.

Details

This layer first projects query, key and value. These are (effectively) a list of tensors of length num_attention_heads, where the corresponding shapes are ⁠[batch_size, , key_dim]⁠, ⁠[batch_size, , key_dim]⁠, ⁠[batch_size, , value_dim]⁠.

Then, the query and key tensors are dot-producted and scaled. These are softmaxed to obtain attention probabilities. The value tensors are then interpolated by these probabilities, then concatenated back to a single tensor.

Finally, the result tensor with the last dimension as value_dim can take an linear projection and return.

Value

  • attention_output: The result of the computation, of shape ⁠[B, T, E]⁠, where T is for target sequence shapes and E is the query input last dimension if output_shape is None. Otherwise, the multi-head outputs are project to the shape specified by output_shape.

  • attention_scores: (Optional) multi-head attention coeffients over attention axes.

Call arguments

  • query: Query Tensor of shape ⁠[B, T, dim]⁠.

  • value: Value Tensor of shape ⁠[B, S, dim]⁠.

  • key: Optional key Tensor of shape ⁠[B, S, dim]⁠. If not given, will use value for both key and value, which is the most common case.

  • attention_mask: a boolean mask of shape ⁠[B, T, S]⁠, that prevents attention to certain positions.

  • return_attention_scores: A boolean to indicate whether the output should be attention output if TRUE, or (attention_output, attention_scores) if FALSE. Defaults to FALSE.

  • training: Python boolean indicating whether the layer should behave in training mode (adding dropout) or in inference mode (no dropout). Defaults to either using the training mode of the parent layer/model, or FALSE (inference) if there is no parent layer.
