# LayoutXLM

## Overview

LayoutXLM was proposed in [LayoutXLM: Multimodal Pre-training for Multilingual Visually-rich Document Understanding](https://huggingface.co/papers/2104.08836) by Yiheng Xu, Tengchao Lv, Lei Cui, Guoxin Wang, Yijuan Lu, Dinei Florencio, Cha
Zhang, Furu Wei. It's a multilingual extension of the [LayoutLMv2 model](https://huggingface.co/papers/2012.14740) trained
on 53 languages.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

*Multimodal pre-training with text, layout, and image has achieved SOTA performance for visually-rich document
understanding tasks recently, which demonstrates the great potential for joint learning across different modalities. In
this paper, we present LayoutXLM, a multimodal pre-trained model for multilingual document understanding, which aims to
bridge the language barriers for visually-rich document understanding. To accurately evaluate LayoutXLM, we also
introduce a multilingual form understanding benchmark dataset named XFUN, which includes form understanding samples in
7 languages (Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese), and key-value pairs are manually labeled
for each language. Experiment results show that the LayoutXLM model has significantly outperformed the existing SOTA
cross-lingual pre-trained models on the XFUN dataset.*

This model was contributed by [nielsr](https://huggingface.co/nielsr). The original code can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/unilm).

## Usage tips and examples

One can directly plug in the weights of LayoutXLM into a LayoutLMv2 model, like so:

```python
from transformers import LayoutLMv2Model

model = LayoutLMv2Model.from_pretrained("microsoft/layoutxlm-base", device_map="auto")
```

Note that LayoutXLM has its own tokenizer, based on
[LayoutXLMTokenizer](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/layoutxlm#transformers.LayoutXLMTokenizer)/[LayoutXLMTokenizerFast](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/layoutxlm#transformers.LayoutXLMTokenizer). You can initialize it as
follows:

```python
from transformers import LayoutXLMTokenizer

tokenizer = LayoutXLMTokenizer.from_pretrained("microsoft/layoutxlm-base")
```

Similar to LayoutLMv2, you can use [LayoutXLMProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/layoutxlm#transformers.LayoutXLMProcessor) (which internally applies
[LayoutLMv2ImageProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/layoutlmv2#transformers.LayoutLMv2ImageProcessor) and
[LayoutXLMTokenizer](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/layoutxlm#transformers.LayoutXLMTokenizer)/[LayoutXLMTokenizerFast](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/layoutxlm#transformers.LayoutXLMTokenizer) in sequence) to prepare all
data for the model.

As LayoutXLM's architecture is equivalent to that of LayoutLMv2, one can refer to [LayoutLMv2's documentation page](layoutlmv2) for all tips, code examples and notebooks.

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/src/transformers/models/layoutxlm/configuration_layoutxlm.py#L35)

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a LayoutxlmModel. It is used to instantiate a Layoutxlm
model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the
defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the [microsoft/layoutxlm-base](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/layoutxlm-base)

Configuration objects inherit from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) for more information.

Example:

```python
>>> from transformers import LayoutXLMConfig, LayoutXLMModel

>>> # Initializing a LayoutXLM microsoft/layoutxlm-base style configuration
>>> configuration = LayoutXLMConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the microsoft/layoutxlm-base style configuration
>>> model = LayoutXLMModel(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config
```

  The sequence or batch of sequences to be encoded. Each sequence can be a string, a list of strings
  (words of a single example or questions of a batch of examples) or a list of list of strings (batch of
  words).
- **text_pair** (`list[str]`, `list[list[str]]`) --
  The sequence or batch of sequences to be encoded. Each sequence should be a list of strings
  (pretokenized string).
- **boxes** (`list[list[int]]`, `list[list[list[int]]]`) --
  Word-level bounding boxes. Each bounding box should be normalized to be on a 0-1000 scale.
- **word_labels** (`list[int]`, `list[list[int]]`, *optional*) --
  Word-level integer labels (for token classification tasks such as FUNSD, CORD).

- **add_special_tokens** (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`) --
  Whether or not to encode the sequences with the special tokens relative to their model.
- **padding** (`bool`, `str` or [PaddingStrategy](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/file_utils#transformers.utils.PaddingStrategy), *optional*, defaults to `False`) --
  Activates and controls padding. Accepts the following values:

  - `True` or `'longest'`: Pad to the longest sequence in the batch (or no padding if only a single
    sequence if provided).

  Activates and controls truncation. Accepts the following values:

  - `True` or `'longest_first'`: Truncate to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or
    to the maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided. This will
    truncate token by token, removing a token from the longest sequence in the pair if a pair of
    sequences (or a batch of pairs) is provided.
  - `'only_first'`: Truncate to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the
    maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided. This will only
    truncate the first sequence of a pair if a pair of sequences (or a batch of pairs) is provided.
  - `'only_second'`: Truncate to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the
    maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided. This will only

  - `False` or `'do_not_truncate'` (default): No truncation (i.e., can output batch with sequence lengths
    greater than the model maximum admissible input size).
- **max_length** (`int`, *optional*) --
  Controls the maximum length to use by one of the truncation/padding parameters.

  If left unset or set to `None`, this will use the predefined model maximum length if a maximum length
  is required by one of the truncation/padding parameters. If the model has no specific maximum input
  length (like XLNet) truncation/padding to a maximum length will be deactivated.
- **stride** (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 0) --
  If set to a number along with `max_length`, the overflowing tokens returned when
  `return_overflowing_tokens=True` will contain some tokens from the end of the truncated sequence
  returned to provide some overlap between truncated and overflowing sequences. The value of this
  argument defines the number of overlapping tokens.
- **pad_to_multiple_of** (`int`, *optional*) --
  If set will pad the sequence to a multiple of the provided value. This is especially useful to enable
  the use of Tensor Cores on NVIDIA hardware with compute capability `>= 7.5` (Volta).
- **return_tensors** (`str` or [TensorType](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/file_utils#transformers.TensorType), *optional*) --
  If set, will return tensors instead of list of python integers. Acceptable values are:

  - `'pt'`: Return PyTorch `torch.Tensor` objects.
  - `'np'`: Return Numpy `np.ndarray` objects.
- **return_token_type_ids** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether to return token type IDs. If left to the default, will return the token type IDs according to
  the specific tokenizer's default, defined by the `return_outputs` attribute.

  [What are token type IDs?](../glossary#token-type-ids)
- **return_attention_mask** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether to return the attention mask. If left to the default, will return the attention mask according
  to the specific tokenizer's default, defined by the `return_outputs` attribute.

  [What are attention masks?](../glossary#attention-mask)
- **return_overflowing_tokens** (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`) --
  Whether or not to return overflowing token sequences. If a pair of sequences of input ids (or a batch
  of pairs) is provided with `truncation_strategy = longest_first` or `True`, an error is raised instead
  of returning overflowing tokens.
- **return_special_tokens_mask** (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`) --
  Whether or not to return special tokens mask information.
- **return_offsets_mapping** (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`) --
  Whether or not to return `(char_start, char_end)` for each token.

  This is only available on fast tokenizers inheriting from [PreTrainedTokenizerFast](/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/tokenizer#transformers.TokenizersBackend), if using
  Python's tokenizer, this method will raise `NotImplementedError`.
- **return_length**  (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`) --
  Whether or not to return the lengths of the encoded inputs.
- **verbose** (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`) --
  Whether or not to print more information and warnings.

Build model inputs from a sequence or a pair of sequence for sequence classification tasks by concatenating and
adding special tokens. An XLM-RoBERTa sequence has the following format:

- single sequence: ` X `
- pair of sequences: ` A  B `

**Parameters:**

#### get_special_tokens_mask[[transformers.LayoutXLMTokenizer.get_special_tokens_mask]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/src/transformers/tokenization_utils_base.py#L1318)

Retrieve sequence ids from a token list that has no special tokens added.

For fast tokenizers, data collators call this with `already_has_special_tokens=True` to build a mask over an
already-formatted sequence. In that case, we compute the mask by checking membership in `all_special_ids`.

**Parameters:**

token_ids_0 : List of IDs for the (possibly already formatted) sequence.

token_ids_1 : Unused when `already_has_special_tokens=True`. Must be None in that case.

already_has_special_tokens : Whether the sequence is already formatted with special tokens.

Create a mask from the two sequences passed to be used in a sequence-pair classification task. XLM-RoBERTa does
not make use of token type ids, therefore a list of zeros is returned.

**Parameters:**

token_ids_0 (`list[int]`) : List of IDs.

token_ids_1 (`list[int]`, *optional*) : Optional second list of IDs for sequence pairs.

**Returns:**

``list[int]``

- **truncation** (`bool`, `str` or [TruncationStrategy](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.tokenization_utils_base.TruncationStrategy), *optional*, defaults to `False`) --
  Activates and controls truncation. Accepts the following values:

  - `True` or `'longest_first'`: Truncate to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or
    to the maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided. This will
    truncate token by token, removing a token from the longest sequence in the pair if a pair of
    sequences (or a batch of pairs) is provided.
  - `'only_first'`: Truncate to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the
    maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided. This will only
    truncate the first sequence of a pair if a pair of sequences (or a batch of pairs) is provided.
  - `'only_second'`: Truncate to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the
    maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided. This will only
    truncate the second sequence of a pair if a pair of sequences (or a batch of pairs) is provided.
  - `False` or `'do_not_truncate'` (default): No truncation (i.e., can output batch with sequence lengths
    greater than the model maximum admissible input size).
- **max_length** (`int`, *optional*) --
  Controls the maximum length to use by one of the truncation/padding parameters.

  If left unset or set to `None`, this will use the predefined model maximum length if a maximum length
  is required by one of the truncation/padding parameters. If the model has no specific maximum input
  length (like XLNet) truncation/padding to a maximum length will be deactivated.
- **stride** (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 0) --
  If set to a number along with `max_length`, the overflowing tokens returned when
  `return_overflowing_tokens=True` will contain some tokens from the end of the truncated sequence
  returned to provide some overlap between truncated and overflowing sequences. The value of this
  argument defines the number of overlapping tokens.
- **pad_to_multiple_of** (`int`, *optional*) --
  If set will pad the sequence to a multiple of the provided value. This is especially useful to enable
  the use of Tensor Cores on NVIDIA hardware with compute capability `>= 7.5` (Volta).
- **return_tensors** (`str` or [TensorType](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/file_utils#transformers.TensorType), *optional*) --
  If set, will return tensors instead of list of python integers. Acceptable values are:

  - `'pt'`: Return PyTorch `torch.Tensor` objects.
  - `'np'`: Return Numpy `np.ndarray` objects.
- **return_token_type_ids** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether to return token type IDs. If left to the default, will return the token type IDs according to
  the specific tokenizer's default, defined by the `return_outputs` attribute.

  [What are token type IDs?](../glossary#token-type-ids)
- **return_attention_mask** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether to return the attention mask. If left to the default, will return the attention mask according
  to the specific tokenizer's default, defined by the `return_outputs` attribute.

  [What are attention masks?](../glossary#attention-mask)
- **return_overflowing_tokens** (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`) --
  Whether or not to return overflowing token sequences. If a pair of sequences of input ids (or a batch
  of pairs) is provided with `truncation_strategy = longest_first` or `True`, an error is raised instead
  of returning overflowing tokens.
- **return_special_tokens_mask** (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`) --
  Whether or not to return special tokens mask information.
- **return_offsets_mapping** (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`) --
  Whether or not to return `(char_start, char_end)` for each token.

  This is only available on fast tokenizers inheriting from [PreTrainedTokenizerFast](/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/tokenizer#transformers.TokenizersBackend), if using
  Python's tokenizer, this method will raise `NotImplementedError`.
- **return_length**  (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`) --
  Whether or not to return the lengths of the encoded inputs.

**Parameters:**

vocab (`str`, `dict` or `list`, *optional*) : Vocabulary for the tokenizer as a path, a dictionary or a list of `(token, score)` tuples.

bos_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"<s>"`) : The beginning of sequence token that was used during pretraining. Can be used a sequence classifier token.    When building a sequence using special tokens, this is not the token that is used for the beginning of sequence. The token used is the `cls_token`.   

eos_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"</s>"`) : The end of sequence token.    When building a sequence using special tokens, this is not the token that is used for the end of sequence. The token used is the `sep_token`.   

sep_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"</s>"`) : The separator token, which is used when building a sequence from multiple sequences, e.g. two sequences for sequence classification or for a text and a question for question answering. It is also used as the last token of a sequence built with special tokens.

cls_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"<s>"`) : The classifier token which is used when doing sequence classification (classification of the whole sequence instead of per-token classification). It is the first token of the sequence when built with special tokens.

unk_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"<unk>"`) : The unknown token. A token that is not in the vocabulary cannot be converted to an ID and is set to be this token instead.

pad_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"<pad>"`) : The token used for padding, for example when batching sequences of different lengths.

mask_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"<mask>"`) : The token used for masking values. This is the token used when training this model with masked language modeling. This is the token which the model will try to predict.

Constructs a LayoutXLMProcessor which wraps a image processor and a tokenizer into a single processor.

[LayoutXLMProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/layoutxlm#transformers.LayoutXLMProcessor) offers all the functionalities of [LayoutLMv2ImageProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/layoutlmv2#transformers.LayoutLMv2ImageProcessor) and [LayoutXLMTokenizer](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/layoutxlm#transformers.LayoutXLMTokenizer). See the
[~LayoutLMv2ImageProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/layoutlmv2#transformers.LayoutLMv2ImageProcessor) and [~LayoutXLMTokenizer](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/layoutxlm#transformers.LayoutXLMTokenizer) for more information.

  Image to preprocess. Expects a single or batch of images with pixel values ranging from 0 to 255. If
  passing in images with pixel values between 0 and 1, set `do_rescale=False`.
- **text** (`Union[str, list[str], list[list[str]]]`, *optional*) --
  The sequence or batch of sequences to be encoded. Each sequence can be a string or a list of strings
  (pretokenized string). If you pass a pretokenized input, set `is_split_into_words=True` to avoid ambiguity with batched inputs.
- **text_pair** (`str, list[str] or list[int]`, *optional*) --
  Optional second sequence to be encoded. This can be a string, a list of strings (tokenized string using

  Word-level integer labels (for token classification tasks such as FUNSD, CORD).
- **add_special_tokens** (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`) --
  Whether or not to add special tokens when encoding the sequences. This will use the underlying
  `PretrainedTokenizerBase.build_inputs_with_special_tokens` function, which defines which tokens are
  automatically added to the input ids. This is useful if you want to add `bos` or `eos` tokens
  automatically.

  - `'only_second'`: Truncate to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the
    maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided. This will only
    truncate the second sequence of a pair if a pair of sequences (or a batch of pairs) is provided.
  - `False` or `'do_not_truncate'` (default): No truncation (i.e., can output batch with sequence lengths
    greater than the model maximum admissible input size).
- **max_length** (`int`, *optional*) --
  Controls the maximum length to use by one of the truncation/padding parameters.

  If left unset or set to `None`, this will use the predefined model maximum length if a maximum length
