Unofficial Gato: A Generalist Agent

[Deepmind Publication] [arXiv Paper]

This repository contains Deepmind's Gato architecture imitation in TensorFlow.

Since Deepmind only mentions parts of the architecture in its paper, We still don't know much about the model.
However, I believe the paper is enough to imitate the architecture, I'm trying to do that with the open source community's help.

Currently, the repository supports the following operations:

• Gato (via Gato)
• Transformer (via Transformer)
• Patch Position Encodings (via PatchPositionEncoding)
• Embedding Function (via ResidualEmbedding)
• Local Observation Position Encodings (via LocalPositionEncoding)
• Tokenizing Continuous Values (via ContinuousValueTokenizer)
• Shared Embedding (via DiscreteEmbedding)

Action tokens are still a mystery in the paper, I need your help.

However, the repository lacks the following miscellaneous.

• Datasets (most important, Issue: #1, ThomasRochefortB/torch-gato)
• Pre-trained tokenizers (No longer required because of E2E model)
• Training strategy (E2E, WIP)

But, you can still explore the basic architecture of the Gato based on the paper.

Usage

$ pip install gato-tf

import tensorflow as tf
from gato import Gato, GatoConfig

# Create model instance
config = GatoConfig.small()
gato = Gato(config)

# Fake inputs for Gato
input_dim = config.input_dim
input_ids = tf.concat([
  # ...
  # observation 1
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 0
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 1
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 2
  # ...
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 19
  tf.fill((1, 1, input_dim), value=0.25),  # continuous value
  tf.fill((1, 1, input_dim), value=624.0),  # discrete (actions, texts)

  # observation 2
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 0
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 1
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 2
  # ...
  tf.random.uniform((1, 1, input_dim)),  # image patch 19
  tf.fill((1, 1, input_dim), value=0.12),  # continuous value
  tf.fill((1, 1, input_dim), value=295.0)  # discrete (actions, texts)
  # ...
], axis=1)
encoding = tf.constant([
  # 0 - image patch embedding
  # 1 - continuous value embedding
  # 2 - discrete embedding (actions, texts)
  [0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2]
])
row_pos = (
  tf.constant([[0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 0, 0, 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 0, 0]]),  # pos_from
  tf.constant([[0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 0, 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 0, 0]])   # pos_to
)
col_pos = (
  tf.constant([[0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.80, 0, 0, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.80, 0, 0]]),  # pos_from
  tf.constant([[0.20, 0.20, 0.20, 1.00, 0, 0, 0.20, 0.20, 0.20, 1.00, 0, 0]])   # pos_to
)
obs = (
  tf.constant([[ 0,  1,  2, 19, 20, 21,  0,  1,  2, 19, 20, 21]]),  # obs token
  tf.constant([[ 1,  1,  1,  1,  1,  0,  1,  1,  1,  1,  1,  0]])   # obs token masking (for action tokens)
)
hidden_states = gato((input_ids, (encoding, row_pos, col_pos), obs))

Dataset and Model Architecture

Paper Reviews

Full Episode Sequence

Architecture Variants

Appendix C.1. Transformer Hyperparameters

In the paper, Deepmind tested Gato with 3 architecture variants, 1.18B, 364M, and 79M.
I have named them as large(), baseline() and small() respectively in GatoConfig.

Hyperparameters	Large(1.18B)	Baseline(364M)	Small(79M)
Transformer blocks	24	12	8
Attention heads	16	12	24
Layer width	2048	1536	768
Feedforward hidden size	8192	6144	3072
Key/value size	128	128	32

Residual Embedding

Appendix C.2. Embedding Function

There are no mentions that how many residual networks must be stacked for token embeddings.
Therefore, I remain configurable in GatoConfig.

Whatever how many residual layers are existing, full-preactivation is a key.

The blocks are consisted of:

• Version 2 ResNet architecture (based on ResNet50V2)
• GroupNorm (instead of LayerNorm)
• GeLU (instead of ReLU)

Position Encodings

Appendix C.3. Position Encodings

Patch Position Encodings

Like Vision Transformer (ViT) by Google, Gato takes the input images as raster-ordered 16x16 patches.
Unlike the Vision Transformer model, however, Gato divides its patch encoding strategy into 2 phases, training and evaluation.

For high-performance computation in TensorFlow, I have used the following expressions.

$C$ and $R$ mean column and row-wise, and $F$ and $T$ mean from and to respectively.

$$ \begin{align} v^R_F &= \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 32 & 64 & 96 \end{bmatrix} \ v^R_T &= \begin{bmatrix} 32 & 64 & 96 & 128 \end{bmatrix} \ v^C_F &= \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 26 & 51 & 77 & 102 \end{bmatrix} \ v^C_T &= \begin{bmatrix} 26 & 51 & 77 & 102 & 128 \end{bmatrix} \ \ P_R &= \begin{cases} \mathsf{if} \ \mathsf{training} & v^R_F + \mathsf{uniform}(v^R_T - v^R_F) \ \mathsf{otherwise} & \mathsf{round}(\frac{v^R_F + v^R_T}{2}) \end{cases} \ P_C &= \begin{cases} \mathsf{if} \ \mathsf{training} & v^C_F + \mathsf{uniform}(v^C_T - v^C_F) \ \mathsf{otherwise} & \mathsf{round}(\frac{v^C_F + v^C_T}{2}) \end{cases} \ \ E^R_P &= P_R \cdot 1^{\mathsf{T}}_C \ E^C_P &= 1^{\mathsf{T}}_R \cdot P_C \ \ \therefore E &= E_I + E^R_P + E^C_P \end{align} $$

Local Observation Position Encodings

In the definition of Appendix B., text tokens, image patch tokens, and discrete & continuous values are observation tokens
When Gato receives those values, they must be encoded with their own (local) time steps.
