## Overview

The LED model was proposed in [Longformer: The Long-Document Transformer](https://huggingface.co/papers/2004.05150) by Iz
Beltagy, Matthew E. Peters, Arman Cohan.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

*Transformer-based models are unable to process long sequences due to their self-attention operation, which scales
quadratically with the sequence length. To address this limitation, we introduce the Longformer with an attention
mechanism that scales linearly with sequence length, making it easy to process documents of thousands of tokens or
longer. Longformer's attention mechanism is a drop-in replacement for the standard self-attention and combines a local
windowed attention with a task motivated global attention. Following prior work on long-sequence transformers, we
evaluate Longformer on character-level language modeling and achieve state-of-the-art results on text8 and enwik8. In
contrast to most prior work, we also pretrain Longformer and finetune it on a variety of downstream tasks. Our
pretrained Longformer consistently outperforms RoBERTa on long document tasks and sets new state-of-the-art results on
WikiHop and TriviaQA. We finally introduce the Longformer-Encoder-Decoder (LED), a Longformer variant for supporting
long document generative sequence-to-sequence tasks, and demonstrate its effectiveness on the arXiv summarization
dataset.*

## Usage tips

- [`LEDForConditionalGeneration`] is an extension of
[`BartForConditionalGeneration`] exchanging the traditional *self-attention* layer with
*Longformer*'s *chunked self-attention* layer. [`LEDTokenizer`] is an alias of
[`BartTokenizer`].
- LED works very well on long-range *sequence-to-sequence* tasks where the `input_ids` largely exceed a length of
1024 tokens.
- LED pads the `input_ids` to be a multiple of `config.attention_window` if required. Therefore a small speed-up is
gained, when [`LEDTokenizer`] is used with the `pad_to_multiple_of` argument.
- LED makes use of *global attention* by means of the `global_attention_mask` (see
[`LongformerModel`]). For summarization, it is advised to put *global attention* only on the first
`<s>` token. For question answering, it is advised to put *global attention* on all tokens of the question.
- To fine-tune LED on all 16384, *gradient checkpointing* can be enabled in case training leads to out-of-memory (OOM)
errors. This can be done by executing `model.gradient_checkpointing_enable()`.
Moreover, the `use_cache=False`
flag can be used to disable the caching mechanism to save memory.
- LED is a model with absolute position embeddings so it's usually advised to pad the inputs on the right rather than
the left.

# LED

[Longformer-Encoder-Decoder (LED)](https://huggingface.co/papers/2004.05150) is an encoder-decoder transformer model for sequence-to-sequence tasks like summarization. It extends [Longformer](.longformer), an encoder-only model designed to handle long inputs, by adding a decoder layer. The decoder uses full self-attention on the encoded tokens and previously decoded locations. Because of Longformer's linear self-attention mechanism, LED is more efficient than standard encoder-decoder models when processing long sequences.

You can find all the original [LED] checkpoints under the [Ai2](https://huggingface.co/allenai/models?search=led) organization.

The example below demonstrates how to summarize text with [`Pipeline`], [`AutoModel`], and from the command line.

In the presence of light, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through small pores in their leaves called stomata, and take in water from the soil through their root systems.

Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the [Quantization](../quantization/overview) overview for more available quantization backends.

The example below uses [bitsandbytes](../quantization/bitsandbytes) to only quantize the weights to int4.

```python
import torch
from transformers import BitsAndBytesConfig, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, AutoTokenizer

quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(

## Notes

- [`LEDForConditionalGeneration`] is an extension of [`BartForConditionalGeneration`] exchanging the traditional self-attention layer with Longformer's chunked self-attention layer. [`LEDTokenizer`] is an alias of [`BartTokenizer`].
- LED pads the `input_ids` to be a multiple of `config.attention_window` if required. A small speedup is gained when [`LEDTokenizer`] is used with the `pad_to_multiple_of` argument.
- LED works best on long-range sequence-to-sequence tasks where the `input_ids` are significantly longer than 1024 tokens.
- LED uses global attention by means of the `global_attention_mask` (see [`LongformerModel`]). For summarization, it is advised to put global attention only on the first `<s>` token. For question answering, it is advised to put global attention on all tokens of the question.
- To fine-tune LED on all 16384 parameters, gradient checkpointing can be enabled in case training leads to out-of-memory (OOM) errors. Enable gradient checkpointing by adding `model.gradient_checkpointing_enable()` and setting `use_cache=False` to disable the caching mechanism to save memory.
- Inputs should be padded on the right because LED uses absolute position embeddings.
