Why does the falcon QLoRA tutorial code use eos_token as pad_token?
The HF falcon tutorial has the following line:tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_tokenit looks strange to me. It make sense pad and eos are the same but then why even make a difference between them in the first place in general?cross:DiscordhfWhy does the falcon QLoRA tutorial code use eos_token as pad_token?somachine learning - Why does the falcon QLoRA tutorial code use eos_token as pad_token? - Stack Overflowcontext peft pacman100 code:falcon_peft.py · GitHub

From my understanding falcon doesn’t have a pad token defined in the model config, that’s why you define the if statement to avoid getting an error with missing pad token.if tokenizer.pad_token is None:
    tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token
    model.config.pad_token_id = model.config.eos_token_id
2023-07-07T18:08:44Z
but why not use the pad token? are you implying the pad token was not used during training so there is no point in using the pad token as the pad oken and instead use the eos?For now I’m convinced.pad_token = eos_tokenis fine for decoder models (even when fine-tuning).Assume we do eos = pad. Then, the model is trained to predict eos more often, since the loss pad token = the eos token so it doesn’t mask out the extra eos tokens. However, transformers are conditional models. Therefore, in a decoder only model (which is the case I care about), the model only increases eos given it already predicted eos. But at inference we would stop anyway, so it doesn’t matter since we are conditionally weighting eos only if more eos have been seen. Also, if the pad token is never trained on it should always have a low chance so it likely won’t be an issue. In addition if for some reason the pad was trained on (assuming no bugs) then it will be predicted only after a eos. Worst case at inference treat pad as eos to stop generation. For decoders it’s fine. For encoders-decoders it might be an issue since the encoder will encode eos more than usual, which is more of an issue since longer seqs will get eos more often artificially.See my argument here:https://chat.openai.com/share/ebb9a9a2-71d3-4c97-a727-b6042494b9a9context:falcon_peft.py · GitHubActually I think this discussion is correct:https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/22794but need to think through it.

sfttrainer (likely using peft) best practices:
https://huggingface.co/docs/trl/main/en/sft_trainer#best-practices

Best practices

Pay attention to the following best practices when training a model with that trainer:

- SFTTrainer always pads by default the sequences to the max_seq_length argument of the SFTTrainer. If none is passed, the trainer will retrieve that value from the tokenizer. Some tokenizers do not provide default value, so there is a check to retrieve the minimum between 2048 and that value. Make sure to check it before training.
- For training adapters in 8bit, you might need to tweak the arguments of the prepare_model_for_int8_training method from PEFT, hence we advise users to use prepare_in_int8_kwargs field, or create the PeftModel outside the SFTTrainer and pass it.
- For a more memory-efficient training using adapters, you can load the base model in 8bit, for that simply add load_in_8bit argument when creating the SFTTrainer, or create a base model in 8bit outside the trainer and pass it.
- If you create a model outside the trainer, make sure to not pass to the trainer any additional keyword arguments that are relative to from_pretrained() method.

**tldr; what I really want to know is what is the official way to set pad token forfine tuningit wasn’t set during original training, so that it doesn’t not learn to predict EOS. **
2023-08-21T22:44:12Z
Small GPT2 code exampleYes I agree that pad is assigned to eos. Eos is still eos. But during fine-tuning now the weights wrt to eos are unchanged. This might be an issue since the probability of eos has not shifted to the fine-tuning regime. One possibility is that eos is outputed with less chance. Yes we can still halt production when we see eos but we’ve not shifted the probability to output eos according to our fine-tuning distribution – but all other tokens have changed distribution. I think this could be an issue because it’s not like the old probability of eos is conserved since all tokens probs have changed except eos + even if the old eos prob was conserved, it’s wrt wrong distribution (not the fine tuning one).e.g.,if tokenizer.pad_token_id is None:
        tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token
...
    raw_text_batch='a'
    tokenize_batch={'input_ids': tensor([[   64, 50256, 50256, 50256, 50256]]), 'attention_mask': tensor([[1, 0, 0, 0, 0]])}but it would have been better to havetokenize_batch={'input_ids': tensor([[   64, 50256, 50256, 50256, 50256]]), 'attention_mask': tensor([[1, 1, 0, 0, 0]])}codedef test_eos_pad():
    from datasets import load_dataset
    import torch
    from transformers import GPT2Tokenizer, GPT2LMHeadModel

    raw_text_batch = 'a'

    tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained("gpt2")

    # print(f'{tokenize_batch=}')

    if tokenizer.pad_token_id is None:
        tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token
    probe_network = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained("gpt2")
    device = torch.device(f"cuda:{0}" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

I’m still confused"if a model does not have a padding token already (which is common for decoder-only models because they are trained on blocks which do not have any padding). So you never “unlearn” anything."is true, but then during training eos and pad will be masked. So there is a “wrong” distribution shift for generating EOS now. How to fix this? See details above.
2023-08-22T12:07:01Z
Hi all! There’s an interesting story here.In general you are correct that causal LMs like Falcon are not trained with a pad token, and so the tokenizer does not have one set. This is true for a lot of causal LMs in the Hub. During training, these models are often fed sequences that have been concatenated together and truncated at the maximum sequence length, and so there is never any empty space that needs padding.The reason we add one later is because a lot of downstream methods use padding and attention masks in some way. However, in many cases it doesn’t really matter what you set the padding token to! This is because the padded tokens will generally be masked by setting the attention_mask to 0, so those tokens will not be attended to by the rest of the sequence.However, one place the choice of padding token can matter is in the labels when fine-tuning the model. This is because in standard CLM training, the labels are the inputs, shifted by a single position. This would mean that in the final position of the sequence before the padding at the end, the label at that position will be the padding token. When training models with shorter sequences (such as for chat), we generally want them to mark the end of the text they’ve generated, using a token likeeos_token. As a result, we commonly just useeos_tokenas the padding token.However, depending on your fine-tuning task, you may not want the model to learn to predicteos_tokenat the end of a sequence - if this is the case, simply change the label at that position to the token you do want, or set the label to-100to mask the label at that position.Does that answer the questions you had? Feel free to let me know if I missed anything here!

I’ve not had time to write it down. When I do I will share here. To clarify this is what I plan to do:In the collate function for all seqs in the batch switch the final mask to 1 where the first EOS token is at.

    # Ensure tokenizer has a padding token
    if tokenizer.pad_token is None:
        tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token

    # Extract sequences
    sequences: list[str] = [example.get("text", "") or "" for example in data]

    # Tokenize the sequences
    tokenized_data = tokenizer(sequences, padding="max_length", max_length=context_length, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt")
    
    # Clone input_ids to labels
    tokenized_data["labels"] = tokenized_data["input_ids"].clone()

    # Set the mask value for the first eos_token in each sequence to 1
    eos_token_id = tokenizer.eos_token_id
    for idx, input_ids in enumerate(tokenized_data["input_ids"]):
        # Find all occurrences of eos_token
        eos_positions = (input_ids == eos_token_id).nonzero(as_tuple=True)[0]
        if eos_positions.nelement() > 0:  # Check if eos_token is present
            first_eos_position = eos_positions[0]
            tokenized_data["attention_mask"][idx, first_eos_position] = 1  # Set the mask value to 1
            
            # Assert that the label for the first occurrence of eos_token is eos_token_id
            assert tokenized_data["labels"][idx, first_eos_position] == eos_token_id, "The label for the first eos_token is incorrect!"
            
            # For all subsequent occurrences of eos_token, set their labels to -100
            for subsequent_eos_position in eos_positions[1:]:
                assert tokenized_data["labels"][idx, subsequent_eos_position] == -100, "The label for the first eos_token is incorrect!"
                # tokenized_data["labels"][idx, subsequent_eos_position] = -100

It seems like you know a lot about how this works. So, if settingtokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_tokencauses falcon to infinitely generate text up to the cutoff point, how do you stop this from happening? Do you have time to provide a code snippet? All I can think of is:raw_pad_token = “<pad>”processed_token = tokenizer(raw_pad_token)tokenizer.pad_token = processed_tokenBut based on this thread, this isn’t enough to work
2023-08-27T19:13:23Z
Hi@brando@maxolotl@Rocketknight1Best way to fix this issue is to change the processing template:from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from tokenizers.processors import TemplateProcessing

text = "Random text"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("tiiuae/falcon-7b")

print(tokenizer(text)) # base tokenizer
# {'input_ids': [25070, 2288], 'token_type_ids': [0, 0], 'attention_mask': [1, 1]}



tokenizer._tokenizer.post_processor = TemplateProcessing(
    single="$A " + tokenizer.eos_token,
    pair="$A "+ tokenizer.eos_token +" $B:1 "+ tokenizer.eos_token +":1",
    special_tokens=[(tokenizer.eos_token, tokenizer.eos_token_id)],
)

print(tokenizer(text)) # Updated tokenizer with EOS token
# {'input_ids': [25070, 2288, 11], 'token_type_ids': [0, 0, 0], 'attention_mask': [1, 1, 1]}



tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token
tokenizer.model_max_length = 5

print(tokenizer(text, padding="max_length")) # Updated tokenizer with EOS token and padding
# {'input_ids': [25070, 2288, 11, 11, 11], 'token_type_ids': [0, 0, 0, 0, 0], 'attention_mask': [1, 1, 1, 0, 0]}Note that the model has to learn to predict the eos token through causal language modeling.
2023-10-31T19:21:34Z
but the distribution shift is conditionally since decoders are autoregressive i.e., only (or mostly) eos probability will be increased given any number of eos tokens have already been seen. Is my prediction. But I’ve seen in other places that a fine tuned model witheos = padpredicts eos way too much e.g., only predicts eos. So one way to fix this is to mask the remaining eos if this is really an issue.Code for that:# -- Define custom collate function

@ccdvcan you explain why you are doing this? What is it meant to do and how does it solve our problem? Thanks in advance!

I currently like this answer:DiscordIf you are really bothered by this, you can write a custom data collator that masks the all-but-first EOS token. In my experience that is not necessary.

Personally this is the solution I recommend. But I’ve not tested if Falcon stops producing too many EOSs:def collate_fn_train_only_first_eos_token_mask_everything_after_it(data: list[dict[str, str]], 
                                                                    tokenizer: PreTrainedTokenizer, 
                                                                    max_length: int=1024,  # GPT2 default, likely worth you change it! This default might cause bugs.
                                                                    ) -> dict[str, torch.Tensor]:
    """ Train only on first occurence of eos. The remaining eos are masked out.

    Sometimes the model might not have a padding token. Sometimes people set the padding token to be the eos token.
    But sometimes this seems to lead to the model to predict eos token to much. 
    So instead of actually using the pad token that was set to the eos token, we instead mask out all excesive eos tokens that act as pads 
    and leave the first eos token at the end to be predicted -- since that is the only one that semantically means end of sequence 
    and therby by not training on random eos at the end by masking it not unncesserily shift/amplify the distribution of eos.
