# MLongT5 (transient-global attention, base-sized model)

MLongT5 model pre-trained on Multi-language corpus. The model was introduced in the paper [mLongT5: A Multilingual and Efficient Text-To-Text Transformer for Longer Sequences](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.11129.pdf) by Uthus et al. and first released in [the LongT5 repository](https://github.com/google-research/longt5). All the model architecture and configuration can be found in [Flaxformer repository](https://github.com/google/flaxformer) which uses another Google research project repository [T5x](https://github.com/google-research/t5x).

Disclaimer: The team releasing MLongT5 did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by Ahmed Elnaggar.

## Model description
MLongT5 model is an encoder-decoder transformer pre-trained in a text-to-text denoising generative setting ([Pegasus-like generation pre-training](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1912.08777.pdf)). MLongT5 model is an extension of [LongT5 model](https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.07916), and it enables using one of the two different efficient attention mechanisms - (1) Local attention, or (2) Transient-Global attention. The usage of attention sparsity patterns allows the model to efficiently handle input sequence.

MLongT5 is particularly effective when fine-tuned for text generation (summarization, question answering) which requires handling long input sequences (up to 16,384 tokens).

## Intended uses & limitations

The model is mostly meant to be fine-tuned on a supervised dataset. See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?search=mlongt5) to look for fine-tuned versions on a task that interests you.

### How to use

```python
from transformers import T5Tokenizer, LongT5Model

tokenizer = T5Tokenizer.from_pretrained("agemagician/mlong-t5-tglobal-base")
model = LongT5Model.from_pretrained("agemagician/mlong-t5-tglobal-base")

inputs = tokenizer("Hello, my dog is cute", return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)

last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state
```
