The RWKV Language Model

Overview

RWKV-LM

We propose the RWKV language model, with alternating time-mix and channel-mix layers:

\begin{align*}
\text{Time-mix :} && \text{TM}_{t,c} &&=&&\text{sigmoid}(\text{R}_{t,c}) &&\cdot&& &&\textstyle\sum_{u} &&\textbf{W}_{t,u,c} &&\cdot&& \text{softmax}_t(\text{K}_{u,c}) &&\cdot&& \text{V}_{u,c}\\
\text{Channel-mix :} && \text{CM}_{t,c} &&=&&\text{sigmoid}(\text{R}_{t,c}) &&\cdot&& &&\textstyle\sum_d &&\textbf{W}_{c,d} &&\cdot&& \text{gelu}(\text{K}_{t,d}) &&\cdot&& \text{V}_{t,d}
\end{align*}

  • The R, K, V are generated by linear transforms of input, and W is parameter. The idea of RWKV is to decompose attention into R(target) * W(src, target) * K(src). So we can call R "receptance", and sigmoid means it's in 0~1 range.

  • The Time-mix is similar to AFT (https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.14103). There are two differences.

(1) We changed the normalization (denominator). For masked language models, we define:

\text{softmax}_t(\text{K}_{u,c}) = \frac{\exp(\text{K}_{u,c})}{\sum_{v \leq t}\exp(\text{K}_{v,c})}

(2) We decompose W_{t,u,c} and introduce multi-head W (here h is the corresponding head of c):

W_{t,u,c}=f_h(t-u)\cdot \alpha_h(u) \cdot \beta_h(t)

(3) You don't need LayerNorm for Time-mix. In fact, the model converges faster when LayerNorm is removed.

Moreover we multiply the final output of Time-mix layer by γ(t). The reason for the α β γ factors, is because the context size is smaller when t is small, and this can be compensated using the α β γ factors.


We also propose a new sampling method (as in src/utils.py):

(1) Find the max probability p_max after softmax.

(2) Remove all entries whose probability is lower than 0.02 * pow(p_max, 2)

(3) Feel free to tune the 0.02 and 2 factor.

  • Sequence to Sequence?

    Sequence to Sequence?

    Hey @BlinkDL! Awesome project!

    I was wondering if you have performed any Seq-2-Seq experiments with it? Any reason for going with GPT model in the first place as opposed to something like T5 (standard Transformer)? Any direction on what changes will be required to make a standard encoder-decoder architecture with RWKV?

    Also, is there any report on in-context-learning/FSL capability of the latest trained model?

    Hi, Thanks for this awesome repo! I'm trying to understand the code and found that in the v4 folder, there's this model.py and model_run.py, which contains GPT and RWKV_GPT respectively which all uses different initialization methods. Could you elaborate on when should which one be used? Thanks in advnace!

    RWKV-4 169m/430m in browser with ORT Web / TF.js / tfjs-tflite?

    Hi, really exciting project! I'm wondering if you've published the model conversion script that you used to create the js_models files from the .pth model file? It would be awesome to see how the larger and newer models like RWKV-4 169m/430m perform in the browser! I think the inference speed of RWKV opens up many new possibilities for language models on the web.

    关于调用模型做分类任务

    你好作者!我对此工作很感兴趣,因为我现在在用基于transformer的模型做分类任务,transformer或者RNN在分类任务里通常采用最后一个模块的每个通道的最后一个元素作为输出,并通过全连接层映射到几个类别。 请问你觉得RWKV原理类似吗?依旧提取最后一个元素作为输出是否稳妥呢?希望您能给出一些建议,我将很感激!
