Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

BACKGROUND

In practical applications, pre-processing, such as machine translation or emotion recognition, for a to-be-processed text may be realized by means of a Transformer model.

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which include various details of the present disclosure to facilitate understanding and should be considered only as exemplary. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should be aware that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and simplicity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

In addition, it is to be understood that the term “and/or” herein is merely an association relationship describing associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and/or B indicates that there are three cases of A alone, A and B together, and B alone. Besides, the character “/” herein generally means that associated objects before and after it are in an “or” relationship.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a text processing method according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following specific implementation.

In step 101, for a to-be-processed text, attention patterns corresponding to heads in a Transformer model using a multi-head-attention mechanism are configured respectively, wherein at least one head corresponds to a different attention pattern from the other N−1 heads, and N denotes a number of heads and is a positive integer greater than 1.

In step 102, the text is processed by using the Transformer model.

As can be seen, in the solution of the above method embodiment, the heads no longer adopt the same attention pattern, but different heads may correspond to different attention patterns, so as to improve connectivity between tokens, thereby improving the model performance and correspondingly improving the text processing effect.

The specific value of N may be determined according to an actual requirement. Corresponding attention patterns may be configured for N heads respectively. At least one head corresponds to a different attention pattern from the other N−1 heads. That is, N attention patterns corresponding to the N heads include at least two different attention patterns.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the attention pattern may include: a local pattern and a global pattern. That is, the attention pattern may be composed of a local pattern and a global pattern. The local pattern may also be called a local attention, and the global pattern may also be called a global attention.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the heads may correspond to a same local pattern. That is, a uniform local pattern may be configured for the heads. In this way, an effect of configuring different attention patterns may be achieved only by configuring different global patterns for any two heads, thereby simplifying the configuration process and improving the processing efficiency.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the heads may correspond to different global patterns respectively, wherein change rules between the global patterns corresponding to each two adjacent heads may be the same.

For example, if the value of N is 4, different global patterns may be configured for the 1^st head, the 2^nd head, the 3^rd head and the 4^th head respectively. That is, global patterns corresponding to any two heads may be different.

With the above processing, the connectivity between the tokens may be further improved, thereby further improving the model performance and the text processing effect.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a specific implementation of configuring different global patterns corresponding to the heads respectively may be shown in FIG. 2.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for configuring global patterns corresponding to heads respectively according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the method may specifically the following implementation.

In step 201, a global pattern corresponding to the 1^st head is configured.

The specific form of the global pattern is not limited.

In step 202, for the i^th head, the global pattern corresponding to an i−1^th head is adjusted according to a predetermined adjustment rule, and the adjusted global pattern is taken as the global pattern corresponding to the i^th head.

An initial value of i is 2.

In addition, the predetermined adjustment rule is not specifically limited.

In step 203, it is determined whether i is equal to N, where N denotes a number of heads; if yes, the process is ended; and otherwise, step 204 is performed.

If i is equal to N, which indicates that all the heads have been configured, correspondingly, the process may be ended; and otherwise, processing is continued for next head.

In step 204, i=i+1 is configured, and then step 202 is repeated.

That is, 1 may be added to the value of i to obtain an updated i, and step 202 is repeated for the i^th head.

Assuming that the value of N is 4, global patterns corresponding to the heads may be sequentially obtained according to the method in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2.

As can be seen, after the global pattern is configured according to the above method, a change rule between the global patterns corresponding to each two adjacent heads is the same, enabling more tokens to have a chance to become global tokens. Moreover, the global patterns corresponding to the heads may be quickly and efficiently configured through regular adjustment.

As an example, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of attention patterns corresponding to different heads according to the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 3, the heads may correspond to a same local pattern, but correspond to different global patterns. The local pattern shown in FIG. 3 is a pattern in the prior art.

As shown in FIG. 3, a large square represents an attention matrix. Assuming that the to-be-processed text includes 10 (which is only exemplary) tokens, the attention matrix may include 10 small squares in length and width directions respectively. Each small square corresponds to one token.

As shown in FIG. 3, taking the 1^st head as an example, where a diagonal line formed by small dark squares represents a local pattern, and a horizontal line and a vertical line formed by small dark squares represent a global pattern.

As can be seen, for the i^th head, 1≤i≤N, and as i constantly increases, the corresponding global pattern shows regular changes. As shown in FIG. 3, the corresponding horizontal and vertical lines move regularly, and the manner of each movement, that is, amplitude of each movement, is the same. If the global pattern corresponding to the 1^st head and the global pattern corresponding to the N^th head are shown in FIG. 3 respectively, the amplitude of each movement may depend on the value of N.

Correspondingly, taking the 1^st head as an example, as shown in FIG. 3, receptive fields of the tokens are as shown below respectively:

As described above, each small square may correspond to one token respectively. Assuming that the tokens are numbered as token1, token2, token3 . . . , and token M from top to bottom, where M denotes a number of the tokens, for token1, its receptive field is global, that is, including all the tokens; for token2, its receptive field is also global, that is, the same as token1, including all the tokens; for token3, its receptive field includes 5 tokens, namely token1, token2, token3, token4 and token5; for token4, its receptive field includes 5 tokens, namely token1, token2, token4, token5 and token6; for token5, its receptive field includes 5 tokens, namely token1, token2, token5, token6 and token1.

Refer to FIG. 3 for the receptive fields of other tokens, which are not repeated one by one.

Pre-processing, such as machine translation or emotion recognition, for the to-be-processed text may be realized by means of the Transformer model according to the present disclosure. For example, semantic expression coding or the like may be performed by using the Transformer model. A specific implementation is the prior art.

After the attention patterns corresponding to the heads are configured based on the method according to the present disclosure, the performance of the Transformer model is improved. Then, correspondingly, text processing by using the Transformer model may improve a text processing effect. For example, the accuracy of machine translation or the accuracy of emotion recognition results may be improved.

It is to be noted that, to make the description brief, the foregoing method embodiments are expressed as a series of actions. However, those skilled in the art should appreciate that the present disclosure is not limited to the described action sequence, because according to the present disclosure, some steps may be performed in other sequences or performed simultaneously. Next, those skilled in the art should also appreciate that all the embodiments described in the specification are preferred embodiments, and the related actions and modules are not necessarily mandatory to the present disclosure. Besides, for a part that is not described in detail in one embodiment, refer to related descriptions in other embodiments.

The above is an introduction to the method embodiments. The solution according to the present disclosure is further illustrated below through apparatus embodiments.

FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of composition of an embodiment of a text processing apparatus 400 according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the apparatus includes a configuration module 401 and a processing module 402.

The configuration module 401 is configured to configure, for a to-be-processed text, attention patterns corresponding to heads in a Transformer model using a multi-head-attention mechanism respectively, wherein at least one head corresponds to a different attention pattern from the other N−1 heads, and N denotes a number of heads and is a positive integer greater than 1.

The processing module 402 is configured to process the text by using the

Transformer model.

As can be seen, in the solution of the above apparatus embodiment, the heads no longer adopt the same attention pattern, but different heads may correspond to different attention patterns, so as to improve connectivity between tokens, thereby improving the model performance and correspondingly improving the text processing effect.

The specific value of N may be determined according to an actual requirement. The configuration module 401 may configure corresponding attention patterns for N heads respectively. At least one head corresponds to a different attention pattern from the other N−1 heads. That is, N attention patterns corresponding to the N heads include at least two different attention patterns.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the attention pattern may include: a local pattern and a global pattern. That is, the attention pattern may be composed of a local pattern and a global pattern.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the configuration module 401 may configure a same local pattern for the heads. That is, a uniform local pattern may be configured for the heads. In this way, an effect of configuring different attention patterns may be achieved only by configuring different global patterns for any two heads.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the configuration module 401 may configure different global patterns corresponding to the heads respectively, wherein a change rule between the global patterns corresponding to each two adjacent heads may be the same.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the configuration module 401 may configure a global pattern corresponding to the 1^st head; perform the following processing for an i^th head, an initial value of i being 2: adjusting the global pattern corresponding to an i−1^th head according to a predetermined adjustment rule, and taking the adjusted global pattern as the global pattern corresponding to the i^th head; and end the processing if i is determined to be equal to N, and otherwise, configure i=i+1, and repeat the first processing for the i^th head.

Assuming that the value of N is 4, a global pattern corresponding to the 1^st head may be configured; then, for the 2^nd head, the global pattern corresponding to the 1^st head may be adjusted according to the predetermined adjustment rule, and the adjusted global pattern is taken as the global pattern corresponding to the 2^nd head. Then, for the 3^rd head, the global pattern corresponding to the 2^nd head may be adjusted according to the predetermined adjustment rule, and the adjusted global pattern is taken as the global pattern corresponding to the 3^rd head. Then, for the 4^th head, the global pattern corresponding to the 3^rd head may be adjusted according to the predetermined adjustment rule, and the adjusted global pattern is taken as the global pattern corresponding to the 4^th head.

Upon completion of the above processing, the processing module 402 may realize pre-processing, such as machine translation or emotion recognition, for the to-be-processed text by means of the Transformer model. For example, semantic expression coding or the like may be performed by using the Transformer model.

A specific work flow of the apparatus embodiment shown in FIG. 4 may be obtained with reference to the relevant descriptions in the above method embodiment, which is not described in detail.

After the attention patterns corresponding to the heads are configured based on the method according to the present disclosure, the performance of the Transformer model is improved. Then, correspondingly, text processing by using the Transformer model may improve a text processing effect. For example, the accuracy of machine translation or the accuracy of emotion recognition results may be improved.
