Contextual evidence from Mask vector

The latent decoder owns one position table, the mask token’s vector copied from the token table of a GPT-2 loaded for the purpose and frozen because the feature model is configured frozen, an MLP for the queries, the blocks and a scale for the prepared queries.

The implementation, pinned at revision e18c42acdfb7, not yet public

Contextual evidence from Mask vector

Every query is the mask vector: it passes the MLP and a scale, positions are added; the latents take the same position table; the blocks are applied; every position counts as masked.

Contextual evidence from Mask vector

A GPT-2 is loaded by name and its token table resized to the configured vocabulary; that table is returned.

Contextual evidence from Mask vector

The feature model is GPT-2, frozen; the hidden state at index −3 is extracted; the encoder and the decoder are of the Perceiver kind; the file’s vocabulary size and mask token ID are defaults that the trainer overwrites with the tokenizer’s; there are as many latents as positions, of 768 features.

Contextual evidence from LayerNorm

The Perceiver blocks’ MLP: LayerNorm, an affine layer, exact GELU, dropout, an affine layer.

The implementation, pinned at revision e18c42acdfb7, not yet public

Contextual evidence from LayerNorm

LayerNorm normalizes the final configured axes with population variance, defaults to epsilon 1e-5, and owns learned gain and bias.

class LayerNorm(Module):
    r"""Applies Layer Normalization over a mini-batch of inputs.

    This layer implements the operation as described in
    the paper `Layer Normalization <https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.06450>`__

    .. math::
        y = \frac{x - \mathrm{E}[x]}{ \sqrt{\mathrm{Var}[x] + \epsilon}} * \gamma + \beta

    The mean and standard-deviation are calculated over the last `D` dimensions, where `D`
    is the dimension of :attr:`normalized_shape`. For example, if :attr:`normalized_shape`
    is ``(3, 5)`` (a 2-dimensional shape), the mean and standard-deviation are computed over
    the last 2 dimensions of the input (i.e. ``input.mean((-2, -1))``).
    :math:`\gamma` and :math:`\beta` are learnable affine transform parameters of
    :attr:`normalized_shape` if :attr:`elementwise_affine` is ``True``.
    The standard-deviation is calculated via the biased estimator, equivalent to
    `torch.var(input, unbiased=False)`.

    .. note::
        Unlike Batch Normalization and Instance Normalization, which applies
        scalar scale and bias for each entire channel/plane with the
        :attr:`affine` option, Layer Normalization applies per-element scale and
        bias with :attr:`elementwise_affine`.

    This layer uses statistics computed from input data in both training and
    evaluation modes.

    Args:
        normalized_shape (int or list or torch.Size): input shape from an expected input
            of size

            .. math::
                [* \times \text{normalized\_shape}[0] \times \text{normalized\_shape}[1]
                    \times \ldots \times \text{normalized\_shape}[-1]]

            If a single integer is used, it is treated as a singleton list, and this module will
