                <h1><a href="https://nn.labml.ai/transformers/xl/index.html">Transformer XL</a></h1>
 | 
						|
<p>This is an implementation of
 | 
						|
<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.02860">Transformer-XL: Attentive Language Models Beyond a Fixed-Length Context</a>
 | 
						|
in <a href="https://pytorch.org">PyTorch</a>.</p>
 | 
						|
<p>Transformer has a limited attention span,
 | 
						|
equal to the length of the sequence trained in parallel.
 | 
						|
All these positions have a fixed positional encoding.
 | 
						|
Transformer XL increases this attention span by letting
 | 
						|
each of the positions pay attention to precalculated past embeddings.
 | 
						|
For instance if the context length is $l$ it will keep the embeddings of
 | 
						|
all layers for previous batch of length $l$ and feed them to current step.
 | 
						|
If we use fixed-positional encodings these pre-calculated embeddings will have
 | 
						|
the same positions as the current context.
 | 
						|
They introduce relative positional encoding, where the positional encodings
 | 
						|
are introduced at the attention calculation.</p>
 | 
						|
<p>Annotated implementation of relative multi-headed attention is in <a href="relative_mha.html"><code>relative_mha.py</code></a>.</p>
 | 
						|
<p>Here’s <a href="experiment.html">the training code</a> and a notebook for training a transformer XL model on Tiny Shakespeare dataset.</p>
