自然语言处理|【BERT】模型返回值解析

以调用的BERT预训练模型为例:

outputs = self.bert(input_ids, attention_mask=attention_mask, token_type_ids=token_type_ids)

outputs 包含4个:sequence_output, pooled_output, (hidden_states), (attentions)
【自然语言处理|【BERT】模型返回值解析】BERT返回值官方解释:
Return: :obj:`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)` comprising various elements depending on the configuration (:class:`~transformers.BertConfig`) and inputs: last_hidden_state (:obj:`torch.FloatTensor` of shape :obj:`(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`): Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model. pooler_output (:obj:`torch.FloatTensor`: of shape :obj:`(batch_size, hidden_size)`): Last layer hidden-state of the first token of the sequence (classification token) further processed by a Linear layer and a Tanh activation function. The Linear layer weights are trained from the next sentence prediction (classification) objective during pre-training. This output is usually *not* a good summary of the semantic content of the input, you're often better with averaging or pooling the sequence of hidden-states for the whole input sequence. hidden_states (:obj:`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, `optional`, returned when ``config.output_hidden_states=True``): Tuple of :obj:`torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the embeddings + one for the output of each layer) of shape :obj:`(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`. Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the initial embedding outputs. attentions (:obj:`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, `optional`, returned when ``config.output_attentions=True``): Tuple of :obj:`torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape :obj:`(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length)`. Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads.

  1. last_hidden_state:shape是(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size),hidden_size=768,类型为tensor,它是模型最后一层输出的隐藏状态。
  2. pooler_output:shape是(batch_size, hidden_size),类型为tensor,这是序列的第一个token:[CLS]的最后一层的隐藏状态,它是由线性层和Tanh激活函数进一步处理的。这个输出不是对输入的语义内容的一个很好的总结,对于整个输入序列的隐藏状态序列的平均化或池化通常更好。
  3. hidden_states:这是输出的一个可选项,如果输出,需要指定config.output_hidden_states=True。它是一个元组,第一个元素是embedding,其余元素是各层的输出,每个元素的形状是(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)。
  4. attentions:这也是输出的一个可选项,如果输出,需要指定config.output_attentions=True。它也是一个元组,它的元素是每一层的注意力权重,用于计算self-attention heads的加权平均值。
