BART on numerical data
I am looking to fine-tune a BART model to essentially do a numerical-to-text task.When you look at the model:BartForConditionalGeneration(
  (model): BartModel(
    (shared): Embedding(50265, 768, padding_idx=1)
    (encoder): BartEncoder(
      (embed_tokens): Embedding(50265, 768, padding_idx=1)
      (embed_positions): BartLearnedPositionalEmbedding(1026, 768)
      (layers): ModuleList(
        (0-5): 6 x BartEncoderLayer(
          (self_attn): BartAttention(
            (k_proj): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=768, bias=True)
            (v_proj): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=768, bias=True)
            (q_proj): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=768, bias=True)
            (out_proj): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=768, bias=True)
          )
          (self_attn_layer_norm): LayerNorm((768,), eps=1e-05, elementwise_affine=True)
          (activation_fn): GELUActivation()
          (fc1): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=3072, bias=True)
          (fc2): Linear(in_features=3072, out_features=768, bias=True)
          (final_layer_norm): LayerNorm((768,), eps=1e-05, elementwise_affine=True)
        )
      )
      (layernorm_embedding): LayerNorm((768,), eps=1e-05, elementwise_affine=True)
    )
    (decoder): BartDecoder(
      (embed_tokens): Embedding(50265, 768, padding_idx=1)
      (embed_positions): BartLearnedPositionalEmbedding(1026, 768)
      (layers): ModuleList(
        (0-5): 6 x BartDecoderLayer(
          (self_attn): BartAttention(
            (k_proj): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=768, bias=True)
            (v_proj): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=768, bias=True)
            (q_proj): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=768, bias=True)
            (out_proj): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=768, bias=True)
          )
          (activation_fn): GELUActivation()
          (self_attn_layer_norm): LayerNorm((768,), eps=1e-05, elementwise_affine=True)
          (encoder_attn): BartAttention(
            (k_proj): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=768, bias=True)
            (v_proj): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=768, bias=True)
            (q_proj): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=768, bias=True)
            (out_proj): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=768, bias=True)
          )
          (encoder_attn_layer_norm): LayerNorm((768,), eps=1e-05, elementwise_affine=True)
          (fc1): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=3072, bias=True)
          (fc2): Linear(in_features=3072, out_features=768, bias=True)
          (final_layer_norm): LayerNorm((768,), eps=1e-05, elementwise_affine=True)
        )
      )
      (layernorm_embedding): LayerNorm((768,), eps=1e-05, elementwise_affine=True)
    )
  )
  (lm_head): Linear(in_features=768, out_features=50265, bias=False)
)it seems like I can just swap out the embedding layers of BART for two linear layers. So far, I have perhaps naively tried:model.model.encoder.embed_tokens = nn.Linear(6, 768)
model.model.encoder.embed_positions = nn.Linear(6, 768)
model.model.decoder.embed_tokens = nn.Linear(6, 768)
model.model.decoder.embed_positions = nn.Linear(6, 768)
model.model.shared = nn.Linear(6, 768)(where 6 is just a number I picked to test it out). And then when I stuff a tensor into it:out = model.generate( torch.rand((1,1,6)) )This doesn’t work. As some point in the process one of the linear layers is trying to multiply ints with floats and the whole thing just grinds to a halt.Is what I’m trying to do even possible? And if so, is there more to it than simply swapping out the embedding layers?
