<h1><a href="https://nn.labml.ai/transformers/switch/index.html">Switch Transformer</a></h1>
|
|
<p>This is a miniature <a href="https://pytorch.org">PyTorch</a> implementation of the paper
|
|
<a href="https://papers.labml.ai/paper/2101.03961">Switch Transformers: Scaling to Trillion Parameter Models with Simple and Efficient Sparsity</a>.
|
|
Our implementation only has a few million parameters and doesn’t do model parallel distributed training.
|
|
It does single GPU training, but we implement the concept of switching as described in the paper.</p>
|
|
<p>The Switch Transformer uses different parameters for each token by switching among parameters
|
|
based on the token.
|
|
Therefore, only a fraction of parameters are chosen for each token.
|
|
So you can have more parameters but less computational cost.</p>
|
|
<p>The switching happens at the Position-wise Feedforward network (FFN) of each transformer block.
|
|
Position-wise feedforward network consists of two sequentially fully connected layers.
|
|
In switch transformer we have multiple FFNs (multiple experts),
|
|
and we chose which one to use based on a router.
|
|
The output is a set of probabilities for picking a FFN,
|
|
and we pick the one with the highest probability and only evaluate that.
|
|
So essentially the computational cost is the same as having a single FFN.
|
|
In our implementation this doesn’t parallelize well when you have many or large FFNs since it’s all
|
|
happening on a single GPU.
|
|
In a distributed setup you would have each FFN (each very large) on a different device.</p>
|
|
<p>The paper introduces another loss term to balance load among the experts (FFNs) and
|
|
discusses dropping tokens when routing is not balanced.</p>
|
|
<p>Here’s <a href="experiment.html">the training code</a> and a notebook for training a switch transformer on Tiny Shakespeare dataset.</p>
