About

What is bertviz?

BertViz is an interactive, open-source tool designed for visualizing attention mechanisms within Transformer language models. It can be seamlessly integrated and run inside Jupyter or Colab notebooks through a simple Python API, offering compatibility with most Huggingface models. BertViz extends the functionality of the Tensor2Tensor visualization tool by Llion Jones, providing multiple distinct views: the head view for single or multiple attention heads, the model view for an overview across all layers and heads, and the neuron view for visualizing individual neurons in query and key vectors. This tool is invaluable for researchers and developers seeking to understand and interpret the complex internal workings of Transformer models.

Best used for

Ideal for data scientists who need to interpret the internal workings of Transformer models, debug attention mechanisms, and visualize how different parts of a model interact. Especially valuable for researchers and developers working with Huggingface models in Jupyter or Colab environments.

FAQs

What types of attention visualizations does BertViz offer?

BertViz provides three main visualization types: the head view for individual or multiple attention heads, the model view for a comprehensive overview of attention across all layers and heads, and the neuron view to inspect individual neurons in query and key vectors.

Can BertViz be used with any Transformer model?

BertViz supports most Huggingface models, including self-attention models like BERT and GPT-2, as well as encoder-decoder models such as BART and T5. The neuron view, however, is currently limited to custom versions of BERT, GPT-2, and RoBERTa included with BertViz.

How can I integrate BertViz into my workflow?

BertViz is designed to run within Jupyter or Colab notebooks. You can install it via pip and then use its Python API to visualize attention from your Huggingface models. It also allows exporting visualizations as HTML files for external use.
