2018 Additive Attention分析及代码

本文主要是介绍2018 Additive Attention分析及代码，希望对大家解决编程问题提供一定的参考价值，需要的开发者们随着小编来一起学习吧！

最近需要评估一些self-attention模块的效果, 除了简单好用的Squeeze-Excitation外, Additive Attention (AA) 是最近开始受到人们注意的一个新型self-attention的注意力机制, 来自犹他大学和亚马逊的作者们, 原意是将其用在BiLSTM的序列模型中的, 但是因为我是做CV方向的, 所以借由他的实现, 参考论文, 实现了精简版的(即可以接到卷积模块后面)AA.

0. 介绍

Additive Attention是由犹他大学的Guineng Zheng(在亚马逊实习)于2018年发表的一篇文章 <OpenTag: Open Attribute Value Extraction from Product Profiles> 中提到的. 跟其它的Self-attention机制一样, 作者也认为在他们采用BiLSTM的任务中, 所有隐藏状态都重要, 但不是同样重要. 这种时候, 就需要一个self-attention来动态的调整不同的隐藏状态的重要性.

相比Squeeze-Excitation[2]粗犷的给特征图的每个通道都乘以一个权重系数的策略, Additive Attention的策略更细, 它对特征图中每个通道的每个值都有独特的调整系数. 这当然带来了不错的效果, 但是因此而带来的计算开销也比较大.

1. 计算逻辑

这里就看公式(2), (3)和(4)即可, 我们可以看到, 此注意力机制的核心 :

① 使用3种权重 $W_g$ , $W_{g'}$ 和 $W_a$ .
② 得到注意力矩阵 $\alpha_{t, t'}$ .
③ 将注意力矩阵与本层的输入相乘即可.

1. 代码实现(keras 2.2.4)

我们这个版本是对2D卷积这种结构的神经网络来说的, 需要注意的是, 这个版本的实现必须要求输入给SeqSelfAttention层的特征图的高(Height)和宽(Width)相等.

这里, 我们先不用看里面复杂的设计, 对计算逻辑来讲, 只需要看一下成员函数_build_additive_attention(self, input_shape), call(self, inputs, mask=None, **kwargs)以及_call_additive_emission(self, inputs).

其中, 与第1部分对应的计算逻辑被封装在_call_additive_emission(self, inputs)中:

2.1 `_call_additive_emission(self, inputs)`

这里, input_len就对应特征图的高和宽, 所以这版代码要求特征图的高和宽必须相同, 此外, 容易看出, 我们根据q和k计算出h, 这个h就是公式(2)中对应的 $g_{t, t'}$ . 而e等于公式(2)中对应的 $\alpha_{t, t'}$ .

其中具体的计算和可能发生的维度变化, 我都在代码中注明, 应该比较容易懂(建议感兴趣的朋友可以在动态图模式下自己试着跑跑K.dot, K.batch_dot, K.exp等ops).

		def _call_additive_emission(self, inputs):input_shape = K.shape(inputs)batch_size, input_len = input_shape[0], input_shape[1]# h_{t, t'} = \tanh(x_t^T W_t + x_{t'}^T W_x + b_h)# print(inputs)# inputs: N x H x H x C ; self.Wt: C x unit ; self.Wx: C x unit# q: N x H x H x unit k: N x H x H x unit.q, k = K.dot(inputs, self.Wt), K.dot(inputs, self.Wx)# q = K.expand_dims(q, 2), q的新shape: N x H x 1 x H x unit.# q = tf.tile(q, K.stack([1, 1, H, 1, 1])): N x H x H x H x unit.q = K.tile(K.expand_dims(q, 2), K.stack([1, 1, input_len, 1,1]))# k 同样的, 为N x H x H x H x unit.(k对应的是Height维度上的, q对应的是Width维度上的).k = K.tile(K.expand_dims(k, 1), K.stack([1, input_len, 1, 1,1]))if self.use_additive_bias:h = K.tanh(q + k + self.bh)else:h = K.tanh(q + k)# e_{t, t'} = W_a h_{t, t'} + b_aif self.use_attention_bias:e = K.reshape(K.dot(h, self.Wa) + self.ba, (batch_size, input_len, input_len, input_len))else:e = K.reshape(K.dot(h, self.Wa), (batch_size, input_len, input_len, input_len))return e

2.2 `build(self, input_shape)`

build是是继承keras.layers.Layer必须要重载的方法, 里面需要初始化在这个layer或者ops中, 用户需要的参数(如权重, 偏置等).
可以看出, 我们初始化构造了权重 $W_{a}$ , $W_{t}$ , $W_{x}$ 和偏置 $b_{a}$ , $b_{h}$ .

2.3 `call(self, inputs, mask=None, **kwargs)`

call和build一样, 都是继承keras.layers.Layer必须要重载的方法, 用户需要在这个成员函数中规定你的计算逻辑. 得到e, 也就是说, _call_additive_emission返回的并不是最终的注意力矩阵 $\alpha_{t, t'}$ , 而是需要进行下面的操作

ps: 对其中一部分关于e的处理进行了隐藏, 没有都列出来. 只是为了说明情况.

...
e = self._call_additive_emission(inputs)
if self.attention_activation is not None:e = self.attention_activation(e)
# exp: element-wise的指数操作. e^x次方. e = 2.718281828459045..
e = K.exp(e - K.max(e, axis=-1, keepdims=True))# 2019.3.29 经验证:
# s = K.sum(e, axis=-1) 返回的是N x input_len x input_len的Tensor,
# s = K.tile(...) 返回的是N x input_len x input_len x input_len的Tensor, 上一步的s中每一项, 都会复制input_len份, 成为独立的一行.
s = K.sum(e, axis=-1)
s = K.tile(K.expand_dims(s, axis=-1), K.stack([1, 1, 1, input_len]))
# >>> keras.backend.epsilon() 
# 1e-07
a = e / (s + K.epsilon())
