# mGENRE 


The mGENRE (multilingual Generative ENtity REtrieval) system as presented in [Multilingual Autoregressive Entity Linking](https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.12528) implemented in pytorch.

In a nutshell, mGENRE uses a sequence-to-sequence approach to entity retrieval (e.g., linking), based on fine-tuned [mBART](https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.08210) architecture. GENRE performs retrieval generating the unique entity name conditioned on the input text using constrained beam search to only generate valid identifiers. The model was first released in the [facebookresearch/GENRE](https://github.com/facebookresearch/GENRE) repository using `fairseq` (the `transformers` models are obtained with a conversion script similar to [this](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/master/src/transformers/models/bart/convert_bart_original_pytorch_checkpoint_to_pytorch.py).

This model was trained on 105 languages from Wikipedia.

## Usage

Here is an example of generation for Wikipedia page disambiguation:

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM

# OPTIONAL: load the prefix tree (trie), you need to additionally download
# https://huggingface.co/facebook/mgenre-wiki/blob/main/trie.py and 
# https://huggingface.co/facebook/mgenre-wiki/blob/main/titles_lang_all105_trie_with_redirect.pkl
# that is fast but memory inefficient prefix tree (trie) -- it is implemented with nested python `dict`
# NOTE: loading this map may take up to 10 minutes and occupy a lot of RAM!
# import pickle
# from trie import Trie
# with open("titles_lang_all105_marisa_trie_with_redirect.pkl", "rb") as f:
#     trie = Trie.load_from_dict(pickle.load(f))

# or a memory efficient but a bit slower prefix tree (trie) -- it is implemented with `marisa_trie` from
# https://huggingface.co/facebook/mgenre-wiki/blob/main/titles_lang_all105_marisa_trie_with_redirect.pkl
# from genre.trie import MarisaTrie
# with open("titles_lang_all105_marisa_trie_with_redirect.pkl", "rb") as f:
#     trie = pickle.load(f)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/mgenre-wiki")
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("facebook/mgenre-wiki").eval()

sentences = ["[START] Einstein [END] era un fisico tedesco."]
# Italian for "[START] Einstein [END] was a German physicist."

outputs = model.generate(
    **tokenizer(sentences, return_tensors="pt"),
    num_beams=5,
    num_return_sequences=5,
    # OPTIONAL: use constrained beam search
    # prefix_allowed_tokens_fn=lambda batch_id, sent: trie.get(sent.tolist()),
)

tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)
```
which outputs the following top-5 predictions (using constrained beam search)
```
['Albert Einstein >> it',
 'Albert Einstein (disambiguation) >> en',
 'Alfred Einstein >> it',
 'Alberto Einstein >> it',
 'Einstein >> it']
```
