Introduction to Pretrained Hybrids with MAD Skills and NAS
Pretrained Hybrids with MAD Skills (Mix-And-Distribute) and Neural Architecture Search (NAS) are two approaches for designing efficient neural network architectures. This presentation will compare their performance on Long Range Arena (LRA) tasks.
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
class PretrainedHybrid(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, pretrained_model, task_specific_layers):
super().__init__()
self.pretrained = pretrained_model
self.task_specific = task_specific_layers
def forward(self, x):
x = self.pretrained(x)
return self.task_specific(x)
class NASModel(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, architecture):
super().__init__()
self.layers = nn.ModuleList([self._create_layer(op) for op in architecture])
def _create_layer(self, op):
# Implement layer creation based on operation type
pass
def forward(self, x):
for layer in self.layers:
x = layer(x)
return x
MAD Skills: Mix-And-Distribute
MAD Skills is a technique for creating hybrid models by mixing pretrained components and distributing them across the network. This approach allows for efficient transfer learning and adaptation to new tasks.
class MADSkillsLayer(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, pretrained_layers, num_experts=4):
super().__init__()
self.experts = nn.ModuleList(pretrained_layers[:num_experts])
self.router = nn.Linear(pretrained_layers[0].in_features, num_experts)
def forward(self, x):
router_output = torch.softmax(self.router(x), dim=-1)
expert_outputs = [expert(x) for expert in self.experts]
return sum(r * o for r, o in zip(router_output.unbind(dim=-1), expert_outputs))
class MADSkillsModel(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, pretrained_layers, num_mad_layers):
super().__init__()
self.mad_layers = nn.ModuleList([MADSkillsLayer(pretrained_layers) for _ in range(num_mad_layers)])
def forward(self, x):
for layer in self.mad_layers:
x = layer(x)
return x
Neural Architecture Search (NAS)
NAS is an automated process for discovering optimal neural network architectures. It explores a search space of possible architectures to find the best performing one for a given task.
import random
def random_architecture(num_layers, operations):
return [random.choice(operations) for _ in range(num_layers)]
def evaluate_architecture(architecture, dataset, metric):
model = NASModel(architecture)
# Train and evaluate the model
return performance_score
def neural_architecture_search(search_space, num_iterations, dataset, metric):
best_architecture = None
best_score = float('-inf')
for _ in range(num_iterations):
architecture = random_architecture(len(search_space), search_space)
score = evaluate_architecture(architecture, dataset, metric)
if score > best_score:
best_score = score
best_architecture = architecture
return best_architecture, best_score
Long Range Arena (LRA) Tasks
LRA is a benchmark suite designed to evaluate the ability of models to capture long-range dependencies across various tasks. It includes tasks such as text classification, document retrieval, and image recognition with long sequences.
class LRATask:
def __init__(self, name, input_length, output_size):
self.name = name
self.input_length = input_length
self.output_size = output_size
lra_tasks = [
LRATask("ListOps", 2000, 10),
LRATask("Text Classification", 4000, 2),
LRATask("Retrieval", 4000, 2),
LRATask("Image Classification", 1024, 10),
LRATask("Pathfinder", 1024, 2)
]
def create_lra_dataset(task):
# Implement dataset creation for the specific LRA task
pass
def evaluate_on_lra(model, task):
dataset = create_lra_dataset(task)
# Implement evaluation logic
return accuracy
Pretrained Hybrids with MAD Skills on LRA
Let's implement a Pretrained Hybrid model with MAD Skills for an LRA task, specifically text classification.
import transformers
class PretrainedMADHybrid(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, pretrained_model_name, num_mad_layers, num_classes):
super().__init__()
self.pretrained = transformers.AutoModel.from_pretrained(pretrained_model_name)
self.mad_layers = MADSkillsModel([self.pretrained.encoder.layer for _ in range(num_mad_layers)], num_mad_layers)
self.classifier = nn.Linear(self.pretrained.config.hidden_size, num_classes)
def forward(self, input_ids, attention_mask):
x = self.pretrained(input_ids, attention_mask=attention_mask).last_hidden_state
x = self.mad_layers(x)
return self.classifier(x[:, 0, :]) # Use [CLS] token for classification
# Usage example
model = PretrainedMADHybrid("bert-base-uncased", num_mad_layers=3, num_classes=2)
text_classification_task = lra_tasks[1] # Text Classification task
accuracy = evaluate_on_lra(model, text_classification_task)
print(f"Accuracy on {text_classification_task.name}: {accuracy:.2f}")
NAS for LRA Tasks
Now, let's implement a NAS approach for finding an efficient architecture for LRA tasks.
class LRANASModel(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, architecture, input_length, num_classes):
super().__init__()
self.layers = nn.ModuleList()
in_features = input_length
for op in architecture:
if op == "linear":
self.layers.append(nn.Linear(in_features, in_features))
elif op == "conv1d":
self.layers.append(nn.Conv1d(in_features, in_features, kernel_size=3, padding=1))
elif op == "self_attention":
self.layers.append(nn.MultiheadAttention(in_features, num_heads=8))
self.classifier = nn.Linear(in_features, num_classes)
def forward(self, x):
for layer in self.layers:
if isinstance(layer, nn.MultiheadAttention):
x = layer(x, x, x)[0]
else:
x = layer(x)
return self.classifier(x.mean(dim=1))
search_space = ["linear", "conv1d", "self_attention"]
best_architecture, best_score = neural_architecture_search(search_space, num_iterations=100, dataset=lra_tasks[0], metric="accuracy")
print(f"Best architecture: {best_architecture}")
print(f"Best score: {best_score:.2f}")
Comparing MAD Skills and NAS on LRA
Let's compare the performance of Pretrained Hybrids with MAD Skills and NAS models on LRA tasks.
def compare_models(tasks, mad_model, nas_model):
results = {}
for task in tasks:
mad_score = evaluate_on_lra(mad_model, task)
nas_score = evaluate_on_lra(nas_model, task)
results[task.name] = {"MAD": mad_score, "NAS": nas_score}
return results
mad_model = PretrainedMADHybrid("bert-base-uncased", num_mad_layers=3, num_classes=2)
nas_model = LRANASModel(best_architecture, input_length=4000, num_classes=2)
comparison_results = compare_models(lra_tasks, mad_model, nas_model)
for task, scores in comparison_results.items():
print(f"{task}:")
print(f" MAD Skills: {scores['MAD']:.2f}")
print(f" NAS: {scores['NAS']:.2f}")

Let's implement a sentiment analysis model using Pretrained Hybrids with MAD Skills for a real-life application.
import torch
import transformers
from torch.utils.data import Dataset, DataLoader
class SentimentDataset(Dataset):
def __init__(self, texts, labels, tokenizer, max_length):
self.texts = texts
self.labels = labels
self.tokenizer = tokenizer
self.max_length = max_length
def __len__(self):
return len(self.texts)
def __getitem__(self, idx):
text = self.texts[idx]
label = self.labels[idx]
encoding = self.tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt', max_length=self.max_length, padding='max_length', truncation=True)
return {
'input_ids': encoding['input_ids'].flatten(),
'attention_mask': encoding['attention_mask'].flatten(),
'label': torch.tensor(label)
}
# Example usage
tokenizer = transformers.AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
model = PretrainedMADHybrid("bert-base-uncased", num_mad_layers=2, num_classes=2)
# Dummy data
texts = ["I love this product!", "This movie was terrible.", "The service was okay."]
labels = [1, 0, 1]
dataset = SentimentDataset(texts, labels, tokenizer, max_length=128)
dataloader = DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=2)
# Training loop (simplified)
optimizer = torch.optim.AdamW(model.parameters(), lr=1e-5)
criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()
for batch in dataloader:
outputs = model(batch['input_ids'], batch['attention_mask'])
loss = criterion(outputs, batch['label'])
loss.backward()
optimizer.step()
optimizer.zero_grad()
print("Training complete!")

from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
class DocumentClassifier(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, input_size, hidden_sizes, num_classes):
super().__init__()
layers = []
for in_size, out_size in zip([input_size] + hidden_sizes[:-1], hidden_sizes):
layers.extend([nn.Linear(in_size, out_size), nn.ReLU()])
layers.append(nn.Linear(hidden_sizes[-1], num_classes))
self.model = nn.Sequential(*layers)
def forward(self, x):
return self.model(x)
# Example usage
documents = [
"This is a technical document about machine learning.",

"New advancements in healthcare technology announced."
]
labels = [0, 1, 2] # 0: Tech, 1: Finance, 2: Healthcare
vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer(max_features=1000)
X = vectorizer.fit_transform(documents).toarray()
y = np.array(labels)
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
def nas_document_classification(X_train, y_train, X_test, y_test, num_iterations=10):
best_model = None
best_accuracy = 0
for _ in range(num_iterations):
hidden_sizes = [np.random.randint(32, 256) for _ in range(np.random.randint(1, 4))]
model = DocumentClassifier(X_train.shape[1], hidden_sizes, len(set(y_train)))
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters())

for epoch in range(10):
outputs = model(torch.FloatTensor(X_train))
loss = criterion(outputs, torch.LongTensor(y_train))
optimizer.zero_grad()
loss.backward()
optimizer.step()
with torch.no_grad():
predictions = model(torch.FloatTensor(X_test)).argmax(dim=1)
accuracy = (predictions == torch.LongTensor(y_test)).float().mean().item()
if accuracy > best_accuracy:
best_accuracy = accuracy
best_model = model
return best_model, best_accuracy
best_model, best_accuracy = nas_document_classification(X_train, y_train, X_test, y_test)
print(f"Best model accuracy: {best_accuracy:.4f}")

Hybrid Approach: Combining MAD Skills and NAS
We can create a hybrid approach that leverages the strengths of both Pretrained Hybrids with MAD Skills and Neural Architecture Search.
class HybridMADNAS(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, pretrained_model, nas_architecture, num_classes):
super().__init__()
self.pretrained = pretrained_model
self.nas_layers = self._create_nas_layers(nas_architecture)
self.classifier = nn.Linear(self.nas_layers[-1].out_features, num_classes)
def _create_nas_layers(self, architecture):
layers = []
in_features = self.pretrained.config.hidden_size
for op in architecture:
if op == 'linear':
layers.append(nn.Linear(in_features, in_features))
elif op == 'conv1d':
layers.append(nn.Conv1d(in_features, in_features, kernel_size=3, padding=1))
elif op == 'self_attention':
layers.append(nn.MultiheadAttention(in_features, num_heads=8))
in_features = layers[-1].out_features
return nn.ModuleList(layers)
def forward(self, input_ids, attention_mask):
x = self.pretrained(input_ids, attention_mask=attention_mask).last_hidden_state
for layer in self.nas_layers:
if isinstance(layer, nn.MultiheadAttention):
x = layer(x, x, x)[0]
else:
x = layer(x)
return self.classifier(x.mean(dim=1))
# Example usage
pretrained_model = transformers.AutoModel.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
nas_architecture = ['linear', 'self_attention', 'conv1d']
hybrid_model = HybridMADNAS(pretrained_model, nas_architecture, num_classes=2)
# Training and evaluation would be similar to previous examples
Future Directions and Challenges
As we continue to develop and refine these approaches, several challenges and opportunities emerge:
