# ELECTRA

[ELECTRA](https://huggingface.co/papers/2003.10555) modifies the pretraining objective of traditional masked language models like BERT. Instead of just masking tokens and asking the model to predict them, ELECTRA trains two models, a generator and a discriminator. The generator replaces some tokens with plausible alternatives and the discriminator (the model you'll actually use) learns to detect which tokens are original and which were replaced. This training approach is very efficient and scales to larger models while using considerably less compute.

This approach is super efficient because ELECTRA learns from every single token in the input, not just the masked ones. That's why even the small ELECTRA models can match or outperform much larger models while using way less computing resources.

You can find all the original ELECTRA checkpoints under the [ELECTRA](https://huggingface.co/collections/google/electra-release-64ff6e8b18830fabea30a1ab) release.

The example below demonstrates how to classify text with [Pipeline](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/pipelines#transformers.Pipeline) or the [AutoModel](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoModel) class.

```python
from transformers import pipeline

classifier = pipeline(
    task="text-classification",
    model="bhadresh-savani/electra-base-emotion",
    device=0
)
classifier("This restaurant has amazing food!")
```

```python
import torch

from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    "bhadresh-savani/electra-base-emotion",
)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(
    "bhadresh-savani/electra-base-emotion", device_map="auto",
)
inputs = tokenizer("ELECTRA is more efficient than BERT", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)
    logits = outputs.logits
    predicted_class_id = logits.argmax(dim=-1).item()
    predicted_label = model.config.id2label[predicted_class_id]
print(f"Predicted label: {predicted_label}")
```

## Notes

- ELECTRA consists of two transformer models, a generator (G) and a discriminator (D). For most downstream tasks, use the discriminator model (as indicated by `*-discriminator` in the name) rather than the generator.
- ELECTRA comes in three sizes: small (14M parameters), base (110M parameters), and large (335M parameters).
- ELECTRA can use a smaller embedding size than the hidden size for efficiency. When `embedding_size` is smaller than `hidden_size` in the configuration, a projection layer connects them.
- When using batched inputs with padding, make sure to use attention masks to prevent the model from attending to padding tokens.

    ```py
    # Example of properly handling padding with attention masks
    inputs = tokenizer(["Short text", "This is a much longer text that needs padding"],
                    padding=True,
                    return_tensors="pt")
    outputs = model(**inputs)  # automatically uses the attention_mask
    ```

- When using the discriminator for a downstream task, you can load it into any of the ELECTRA model classes ([ElectraForSequenceClassification](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/electra#transformers.ElectraForSequenceClassification), [ElectraForTokenClassification](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/electra#transformers.ElectraForTokenClassification), etc.).

ELECTRA Model with a `language modeling` head on top for CLM fine-tuning.

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.

  [What are input IDs?](../glossary#input-ids)
- **attention_mask** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 1 for tokens that are **not masked**,
  - 0 for tokens that are **masked**.

  [What are attention masks?](../glossary#attention-mask)
- **token_type_ids** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Segment token indices to indicate first and second portions of the inputs. Indices are selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 0 corresponds to a *sentence A* token,
  - 1 corresponds to a *sentence B* token.

  [What are token type IDs?](../glossary#token-type-ids)
- **position_ids** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range `[0, config.n_positions - 1]`.

  [What are position IDs?](../glossary#position-ids)
- **inputs_embeds** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) --
  Optionally, instead of passing `input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This
  is useful if you want more control over how to convert `input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the
  model's internal embedding lookup matrix.
- **encoder_hidden_states** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) --
  Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention
  if the model is configured as a decoder.
- **encoder_attention_mask** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Mask to avoid performing attention on the padding token indices of the encoder input. This mask is used in
  the cross-attention if the model is configured as a decoder. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 1 for tokens that are **not masked**,
  - 0 for tokens that are **masked**.
- **labels** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Labels for computing the left-to-right language modeling loss (next word prediction). Indices should be in
  `[-100, 0, ..., config.vocab_size]` (see `input_ids` docstring) Tokens with indices set to `-100` are
  ignored (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels in `[0, ..., config.vocab_size]`
- **past_key_values** (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*) --
  Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention
  blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the `past_key_values`
  returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when `use_cache=True` or `config.use_cache=True`.

  Only [Cache](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance is allowed as input, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).
  If no `past_key_values` are passed, [DynamicCache](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.DynamicCache) will be initialized by default.

  The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't
  have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, unprocessed_length)` instead of all `input_ids`
  of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.
- **use_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see
  `past_key_values`).
- **logits_to_keep** (`Union[int, torch.Tensor]`, *optional*, defaults to `0`) --
  If an `int`, compute logits for the last `logits_to_keep` tokens. If `0`, calculate logits for all
  `input_ids` (special case). Only last token logits are needed for generation, and calculating them only for that
  token can save memory, which becomes pretty significant for long sequences or large vocabulary size.
  If a `torch.Tensor`, must be 1D corresponding to the indices to keep in the sequence length dimension.
  This is useful when using packed tensor format (single dimension for batch and sequence length).0[CausalLMOutputWithCrossAttentions](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.CausalLMOutputWithCrossAttentions) or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`A [CausalLMOutputWithCrossAttentions](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.CausalLMOutputWithCrossAttentions) or a tuple of
