TransformerDecoder

class torch.nn.TransformerDecoder(decoder_layer, num_layers, norm=None)[source]

TransformerDecoder is a stack of N decoder layers

Parameters
  • decoder_layer – an instance of the TransformerDecoderLayer() class (required).

  • num_layers – the number of sub-decoder-layers in the decoder (required).

  • norm – the layer normalization component (optional).

Examples::
>>> decoder_layer = nn.TransformerDecoderLayer(d_model=512, nhead=8)
>>> transformer_decoder = nn.TransformerDecoder(decoder_layer, num_layers=6)
>>> memory = torch.rand(10, 32, 512)
>>> tgt = torch.rand(20, 32, 512)
>>> out = transformer_decoder(tgt, memory)
forward(tgt: torch.Tensor, memory: torch.Tensor, tgt_mask: Optional[torch.Tensor] = None, memory_mask: Optional[torch.Tensor] = None, tgt_key_padding_mask: Optional[torch.Tensor] = None, memory_key_padding_mask: Optional[torch.Tensor] = None) → torch.Tensor[source]

Pass the inputs (and mask) through the decoder layer in turn.

Parameters
  • tgt – the sequence to the decoder (required).

  • memory – the sequence from the last layer of the encoder (required).

  • tgt_mask – the mask for the tgt sequence (optional).

  • memory_mask – the mask for the memory sequence (optional).

  • tgt_key_padding_mask – the mask for the tgt keys per batch (optional).

  • memory_key_padding_mask – the mask for the memory keys per batch (optional).
