PackedMultiHeadAttention

Description

This is the packed version of MultiHeadAttention.

 

 

Sequences in one batch usually don’t have same length and they are padded to have same length, e.g., below is a batch with 3 sequences and * is padding token. Sequence_0: 0, 1*, 2*, 3* Sequence_1: 4, 5, 6*, 7* Sequence_2: 8, 9, 10, 11

PackedMultiHeadAttention is designed to takes in packed input, i.e., only the real tokens without padding. An input as above will be packed into 3 tensors like below:

    • query ([q0, q4, q5, q8, q9, q10, q11])
    • key ([k0, k4, k5, k8, k9, k10, k11])
    • value ([v0, v4, v5, v8, v9, v10, v11])
    • token_offset: 0, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 1*, 2*, 3*, 6*, 7*
    • cumulative_sequence_length: 0, 1, 1+2, 1+2+4

The query, key and value tensors contain result of hidden embedding of real tokens after input projections. Token_offset records the offset of token in the unpacked input. cumulative_sequence_length records cumulated length of each sequence length.

The operator only supports BERT like model with padding on right now.

Input parameters

 

specified_outputs_name :Β array, this parameter lets you manually assign custom names to the output tensors of a node.

Β Graphs in :Β cluster, ONNX model architecture.

query (heterogeneous)Β – T : object, query with shape (token_count, hidden_size) or packed qkv with shape (token_count, num_heads, 3, head_size).
key (optional, heterogeneous) – T : object, key with shape (token_count, hidden_size).
value (optional, heterogeneous) – T : object, value with shape (token_count, v_hidden_size).
bias (optional, heterogeneous) – T : object, bias tensor with shape (hidden_size + hidden_size + v_hidden_size) from input projection.
token_offset (heterogeneous) – M : object, offset of each token before packing, with shape (batch_size, sequence_length).
cumulative_sequence_length (heterogeneous) – M : object, aΒ tensor with shape (batch_size + 1). It specifies the cumulative sequence length.
relative_position_bias (optional, heterogeneous)Β – T : object, it specifies the additional bias to QxK’. The shape is (batch_size or 1, num_heads or 1, sequence_length, sequence_length).

Β Parameters :Β cluster,

mask_filter_value : float, the value to be filled in the attention mask.
Default value β€œ-10000”.
num_headsΒ :Β integer, number of attention heads.
Default value β€œ0”.
scale : float, custom scale will be used if specified.
Default value β€œ0”.
Β training?Β :Β boolean, whether the layer is in training mode (can store data for backward).
Default value β€œTrue”.
Β lda coeff :Β float, defines the coefficient by which the loss derivative will be multiplied before being sent to the previous layer (since during the backward run we go backwards).
Default value β€œ1”.

Β name (optional) :Β string,Β name of the node.

Output parameters

output (heterogeneous)Β – T : object, output tensor with shape (token_count, v_hidden_size).

Type Constraints

TΒ in (tensor(float),Β tensor(float16)) : Constrain input and output to float tensors.

MΒ in (tensor(int32)) : Constrain mask, offset and sequence length to integer types.
