chatgpt的文本生成模型 transformer文本生成

1. 模型原理

Transformer是一种基于全连接神经网络的编码器-解码器（encoder-decoder）架构实现，它由输入模块、编码器模块、解码器模型和输出模型四部分组成。其结构如下图所示：

图1 Transformer模型

关于Transformer的基础知识介绍，网上已有许多公开的资料。读者可自行查阅学习。本文默认大家已具备Transformer相关的基础知识，文本将讨论其中值得注意的四个问题：

1. Transformer中有几种mask机制，它们是如何去除小批量样本padding操作引入的噪声的？
2. 自注意力机制为什么不直接使用输入的特征向量，而要使用其线性变换的结果来计算自注意力？
3. 什么是layer normal，为使用它而不使用batch normal？
4. 绝对位置编码和相对位置编码

1.1 Transformer中的mask机制

Transformer中有三种不同的mask机制：inputs padding mask、look ahead mask和outputs padding mask。

其中，inputs padding mask用于编码器和解码器中的Multi-Head Attention计算，通过与注意力得分矩阵元素对位相乘，使注意力全部集中于输入序列中有效位置的元素，从而消除输入序列padding值引入的噪声干扰。

look ahead mask用于解码器中Mask Multi-Head Attention计算，它在负责消除标签序列padding值引入的噪声干扰的同时，也是将文本生成循环能转为批量进行的保障：它在输入全量的标签序列时，利用mask矩阵实现仅预测时刻之前的部分序列被解码器端可见的效果；outputs padding mask用于动态损失函数计算，负责消除残差结构直连项，绕开Self-Attention层引入的标签序列padding值噪声干扰。所以look ahead mask与outputs padding mask共同作用，彻底消除了标签序列padding值引入的噪声干扰。

1.2 Self-Attention中输入特征向量线性变换的必要性

若不使用线性变换，则每个 token 对应的q，k，v向量都是一样的，那么此 token 对所有 token 所计算出的注意力分布中就只会集中于自己身上，对其他 token 的注意力会非常小。自注意力（Self-Attention）的作用就是筛选出其他 token 中有助于完成任务的特征信息，如果注意力分布不能关注到其他 token 的话，自注意力机制的作用也就丧失了。所以，自注意力机制需要使用输入特征向量的线性变换进行计算。

1.3 Layer Normalizationv.s. Batch Normalization

layer normalization 和 batch normalization 都是样本归一化方法，即：每一条样本都经过(x-mean) / std。

它们的区别在于归一化计算所使用的均值（mean）和方差（std）不同，如下图所示：

图2 LN与BN中均值、方差的计算方法

其中batch normalization更适合处理图像数据的归一化问题，而layer normalization更适合处理序列数据的归一化问题。

1.4 位置编码

位置编码有两种方法：functional encoding和parametric encoding。其中，functional encoding：这个是指的是通过特定函数的方式，将输入的位置idx变换为embedding。而，parametric encoding：指的是通过embedding lookup的方式，让模型自己学习位置的embedding。

这两种方式效果相似，functional encoding可减少模型需学习参数，parametric encoding可以减少人工设定的超参数，所以样本量较少时推荐使用functional encoding方法，而样本量充足时优先使用parametric encoding方法成本更低。（Transformer使用的是functional absolute positional encoding，BERT使用的是 parametric absolute positional encoding。）
