Encoder Decoder Embedding layer shared in BartModel code
Hello,I am currently studying Bart model code in transformers library.I looked up theBartModel classinmodeling_bart.pypython code and found the following code.@add_start_docstrings(
    "The bare BART Model outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top.",
    BART_START_DOCSTRING,
)
class BartModel(BartPretrainedModel):
    _keys_to_ignore_on_load_missing = ["encoder.embed_tokens.weight", "decoder.embed_tokens.weight"]

    def __init__(self, config: BartConfig):
        super().__init__(config)

        padding_idx, vocab_size = config.pad_token_id, config.vocab_size
        self.shared = nn.Embedding(vocab_size, config.d_model, padding_idx)

        self.encoder = BartEncoder(config, self.shared)
        self.decoder = BartDecoder(config, self.shared)

        # Initialize weights and apply final processing
        self.post_init()

    def get_input_embeddings(self):
        return self.shared

    def set_input_embeddings(self, value):

        self.decoder.embed_tokens = self.shared

    def get_encoder(self):
        return self.encoder

        )I tried to use this model to solve translation task.What I’ve learned  is that I have to usetwo vocabs(src_vocab, target_vocab).That means I need two Embedding Layers, dosen’t it?However, I only can see there is one nn.Embedding layer asself.shared.This is very confusing to me.How can this model translate one language to another?Any informative answer is much appreciated!!Thx!!

Okay, This was dumb question…One Embedding layer goes to Encoder and Decoder classes separately.So there will be two embedding layers in the end.Question is Answered.
