PyTorch nn.MultiHead() 参数理解

本文主要是介绍PyTorch nn.MultiHead() 参数理解，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！

之前一直是自己实现MultiHead Self-Attention程序，代码段又臭又长。后来发现Pytorch 早已经有API nn.MultiHead()函数，但是使用时我却遇到了很大的麻烦。

首先放上官网说明：
$MultiHead(Q,K,V)=Concat(head_1,…,head_h)W_O\quad where\ head_i=Attention(QW_i^Q,KW_i^K,VW_i^V)$

# 模型初始化
torch.nn.MultiheadAttention(embed_dim, num_heads, dropout=0.0, bias=True, add_bias_kv=False, add_zero_attn=False, kdim=None, vdim=None)
'''
embed_dim – 嵌入向量总长度.num_heads – 并行的head数目，即同时做多少次不同语义的attention.dropout – dropout的概率.bias – 是否添加偏置.默认: True.
'''# 模型运算
forward(query, key, value, key_padding_mask=None, need_weights=True, attn_mask=None)
'''
Inputs:query: (L, N, E) where L is the target sequence length, N is the batch size, E is the embedding dimension.key: (S, N, E) , where S is the source sequence length, N is the batch size, E is the embedding dimension.value: (S, N, E) where S is the source sequence length, N is the batch size, E is the embedding dimension.key_padding_mask: (N, S)(N,S) , ByteTensor, where N is the batch size, S is the source sequence length.attn_mask: 2D mask (L, S)(L,S) where L is the target sequence length, S is the source sequence length. 3D mask (N*num_heads, L, S)(N∗num_heads,L,S) where N is the batch size, L is the target sequence length, S is the source sequence length.Outputs:attn_output: (L, N, E)(L,N,E) where L is the target sequence length, N is the batch size, E is the embedding dimension.attn_output_weights: (N, L, S)(N,L,S) where N is the batch size, L is the target sequence length, S is the source sequence length.
'''

值得注意的一点是，query，key，value的输入形状一定是 [sequence_size, batch_size, emb_size]

官网例子：

>>> multihead_attn = nn.MultiheadAttention(embed_dim, num_heads)
>>> attn_output, attn_output_weights = multihead_attn(query, key, value)

embed_dim, num_heads参数

但是我执行程序却报错了：

A = torch.arange(1,25).view(4,3,2)
A = A.float()self_attn = torch.nn.MultiheadAttention(embed_dim=2, num_heads=4, dropout=0.0)
res,weight = self_attn(A,A,A)

报错信息：

    self_attn = torch.nn.MultiheadAttention(embed_dim=2, num_heads=4, dropout=0.0)File "E:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\torch\nn\modules\activation.py", line 740, in __init__assert self.head_dim * num_heads == self.embed_dim, "embed_dim must be divisible by num_heads"
AssertionError: embed_dim must be divisible by num_heads

切到源码看不懂，而且我用pycharm 一直ctrl+鼠标进入不了最底层的代码，只有前几层的代码。(求相关领域大佬教教我)

经过自己的尝试，nn.MultiheadAttention(embed_dim, num_heads)中的要满足两点约束：

embed_dim == input_dim ，即query，key，value的embedding_size必须等于embed_dim
embed_dim%num_heads==0

上面的约束，也就说明了在使用nn.MultiheadAttention(embed_dim, num_heads)时， num_heads不是我们想设多少就设定多少。

我的看法：

nn.MultiheadAttention(embed_dim, num_heads) 中的embed_dim 是输入的embeddingsize，即query输入形状(L, N, E)的E数值，nn.MultiheadAttention 想要实现的是无论head 数目设置成多少，输出的向量大小都是不变的。写完这句话，发现自己表达能力真是弱，自己都看不懂。可以结合下面公式理解。
$MultiHead(Q,K,V)=Concat(head_1,…,head_h)W_O\quad where\ head_i=Attention(QW_i^Q,KW_i^K,VW_i^V)\\ Q\in R^{(L, N, E)},\ K\in R^{(S, N, E)},\ V\in R^{(S, N, E)},\ W_i\in R^{(E,E/h)},W_O\in R^{(E,E)}$

attn_mask参数

self-attention公式: $\operatorname{SA}(Q, K, V)=softmax\left(\frac{Q K^{T}}{\sqrt{d_{k}}}\right) V$

$Q K^{T}$ 生成权重分布，但是在应用中有些位置的权重是不可见的，比如在时间序列中，第t天时，我们并不知道t+1天之后的信息。这时就需要传入attn_mask参数，屏蔽这些不合理的权重。attn_mask要求是booltensor，某个位置true表示掩盖该位置。
