## Recurrent Memory Transformer - Pytorch

Implementation of Recurrent Memory Transformer (openreview) in Pytorch. They had a short follow up paper recently that demonstrated it was able to copy information across 1 million tokens at the very least.

There is no doubt in my mind that RMT would make a stronger RL agent than AdA, which is just a Transformer-XL - Update: Recurrent Memory Decision Transformer

## Appreciation

- Stability and 🤗 Huggingface for their generous sponsorships to work on and open source cutting edge artificial intelligence research

## Install

```bash
$ pip install recurrent-memory-transformer-pytorch
```

## Usage

```python
import torch
from recurrent_memory_transformer_pytorch import RecurrentMemoryTransformer

model = RecurrentMemoryTransformer(
num_tokens = 20000, # number of tokens
num_memory_tokens = 128, # number of memory tokens, this will determine the bottleneck for information being passed to the future
dim = 512, # model dimensions
depth = 6, # transformer depth
causal = True, # autoregressive or not
dim_head = 64, # dimension per head
heads = 8, # heads
seq_len = 1024, # sequence length of a segment
use_flash_attn = True # whether to use flash attention
)

x = torch.randint(0, 256, (1, 1024))

logits1, mem1, _ = model(x) # (1, 1024, 20000), (1, 128, 512), None
logits2, mem2, _ = model(x, mem1) # (1, 1024, 20000), (1, 128, 512), None
logits3, mem3, _ = model(x, mem2) # (1, 1024, 20000), (1, 128, 512), None

# and so on ...

```

With XL memories

```python
import torch
from recurrent_memory_transformer_pytorch import RecurrentMemoryTransformer

model = RecurrentMemoryTransformer(
num_tokens = 20000,
num_memory_tokens = 128,
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
causal = True,
dim_head = 64,
heads = 8,
seq_len = 1024,
use_flash_attn = True,
use_xl_memories = True, # set this to True
xl_mem_len = 512 # can be shorter than the seq len - i think just having a bit of the past will prevent much of the RMT memories memorizing the immediate preceding text
)

x = torch.randint(0, 256, (1, 1024))

logits1, mem1, xl_mem1 = model(x) # (1, 1024, 20000), (1, 128, 512), [(2, 1, 512, 512)]
logits2, mem2, xl_mem2 = model(x, mem1, xl_memories = xl_mem1) # (1, 1024, 20000), (1, 128, 512), [(2, 1, 512, 512)]
logits3, mem3, xl_mem3 = model(x, mem2, xl_memories = xl_mem2) # (1, 1024, 20000), (1, 128, 512), [(2, 1, 512, 512)]

# and so on ...
```

Train on an absurdly long sequence

```python
import torch
from recurrent_memory_transformer_pytorch import (
RecurrentMemoryTransformer,
RecurrentMemoryTransformerWrapper
)

model = RecurrentMemoryTransformer(
num_tokens = 256,
num_memory_tokens = 128,
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
seq_len = 1024,
use_flash_attn = True,
causal = True
)

model = RecurrentMemoryTransformerWrapper(model).cuda()

seq = torch.randint(0, 256, (4, 65536)).cuda() # absurdly long sequence, in reality, they curriculum learned this starting with 1 segment to about 7-8 segments

loss = model(seq, memory_replay_backprop = True) # memory efficient training from memformer paper

```

## Todo

- [ ] move the memory replay backprop into a torch.function, test out bidirectional, then test on a real problem

- [x] get rotary embeddings working properly with xl memories
- [x] add xl memories, detached
- [x] offer a way to turn off rotary embeddings, absolute positional embeddings, and add token shift
- [x] make memories being causally masked an option
- [x] add the memory replay backprop technique from memformer paper
- [x] relative positional encoding

## Alternatives

- Block Recurrent Transformer

- Memformer
