This recipe explains what is BART model in transformers.

Recipe Objective: What is BART model in transformers?

BART stands for Bidirectional Auto-Regressive Transformers. This model is by Facebook AI research that combines Google's BERT and OpenAI's GPT It is bidirectional like BERT and is auto-regressive like GPT.

BERT's bidirectional, autoencoder nature is
* good for downstream tasks (e.g.: classification) that requires information about the whole sequence
* not so good for generation tasks where generated word should only depend on previously generated words

GPT's unidirectional auto-regressive approach is
* good for text generation
* not so good for tasks that require information of the whole sequence (e.g.: classification)

BART is the best of both worlds.
BART= BERT encoder + GPT Decoder + Noise Transformations
* Bart uses a standard seq2seq/machine translation architecture with a bidirectional encoder (like BERT) and a left-to-right decoder (like GPT).
* The pretraining task involves randomly shuffling the order of the original sentences and a novel in-filling scheme, where spans of text are replaced with a single mask token.

* The pretraining task involves randomly shuffling the order of the original sentences and a novel in-filling scheme, where spans of text are replaced with a single mask token.
* BART is particularly effective when fine tuned for text generation but also works well for comprehension tasks. It matches the performance of RoBERTa with comparable training resources on GLUE and SQuAD, achieves new state-of-the-art results on a range of abstractive dialogue, question answering, and summarization tasks, with gains of up to 6 ROUGE.

BartTokenizer - It is identical to RobertaTokenizer.

BartModel - The bare BART Model outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top. This model inherits from PreTrainedModel.

Example -

#practical implementation of BartModel and BartTokenizer

#importing required libraries
import torch
from transformers import BartModel, BartTokenizer

# Load the tokenizer and model of the pretrained base BART model
tz = BartTokenizer.from_pretrained('facebook/bart-large')
model = BartModel.from_pretrained('facebook/bart-large')

#Tokenizing the input data and assigning the token their IDs
inputdata = tz("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", return_tensors="pt")
outputdata = model(**inputdata)

#last_hidden_state contains the sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.
last_hidden_states = outputdata.last_hidden_state

#displaying the hidden-states
print("last hidden states: ",last_hidden_states)

Output -
last hidden states:  tensor([[[ 0.5066,  0.5245, -1.0789,  ..., -0.0657, -0.1174, -0.6937],
         [ 0.5066,  0.5245, -1.0789,  ..., -0.0657, -0.1174, -0.6937],
         [ 0.4948, -1.2203,  0.9083,  ...,  0.6206,  0.6097, -0.2111],
         ...,
         [ 0.0689, -1.9124,  0.8337,  ...,  0.0518,  0.8280, -0.9057],
         [-0.2178, -1.0660, -1.6880,  ...,  0.3749,  0.4627, -0.7621],
         [-0.5963,  1.0727, -0.9889,  ...,  0.5723,  0.5521, -0.3102]]],
