fix(server): bound subword length of long words in GLiNER adapters - #380
Merged
Merged
Conversation
GLiNER, GLiNER2 and GLiREL keep a document's first max_len words and encode every subword of each, so the encoder input grew with the length of long unbroken words rather than with max_len. Read words through a shared bounded window instead: a word longer than 256 characters is read as consecutive pieces that keep their own character offsets, and reading stops at a budget of subwords per word of the word window (six for GLiNER and its bi-encoder, whose multilingual checkpoints read Chinese and Japanese at up to 5.6, four for the English GLiNER2 and GLiREL checkpoints), at most 4096 for DeBERTa encoders, 8192 otherwise, and within the position table of encoders with absolute positions. Ordinary text reads as before. A batch whose rows would take a DeBERTa forward pass past a fixed attention budget is split into passes grouped by row length; batches that fit run as before. GLiNER2 keeps only short words' tokens in its per-word cache. Metering is unchanged: GLiNER and the bi-encoder count the document subwords they encode, GLiNER2 the document tokens up to max_seq_length.

Problem
GLiNER, GLiNER2 and GLiREL keep a document's first
max_lenwords and givethe encoder every subword token of each kept word.
max_lencounts words, soit does not bound the encoder input: a long unbroken run of characters (a long
number, a hash or base64 string, a URL, or text in a script the tokenizer
splits into single characters) is one word of about as many subwords as it has
characters, and space-separated long words multiply the same way. Encoder time
and memory grow with the square of the row, so latency on such inputs grew
with their length rather than being bounded by
max_len. #371 fixed theword-splitting cost of runs like
"...."; this bounds what the words expandto.
Change
A shared module,
sie_server/adapters/_word_window.py, reads a document'swords lazily and keeps the part a model reads:
256 characters. Each piece is a word with the offsets of its own characters,
so an entity found inside a long word maps back to the right character
offsets in the original text.
max_lenwords (as before), or before the first wordthat would take the document past a subword budget, at most 4096 subwords
for DeBERTa encoders and 8192 otherwise, and within the position table of
encoders with absolute positions (recognized from the encoder config,
including BERT-style configs that no longer carry
position_embedding_type). The first word is always read, so no documentis left empty.
The budget is a number of subwords per word of the model's word window:
and their multilingual checkpoints read Chinese and Japanese at about 4 to 6
subwords per word.
and JSON logs run at 1 to 2.4 subwords per word, and German, French,
Spanish, Czech, Turkish, Russian and Korean at up to 3.2. GLiNER2 reads a
URL as one word, so a document made mostly of long links (about 5.6) is read
only up to the budget.
Each adapter reads through it where its library splits words:
GLiNER2Adapter(gliner2 1.x, and 2.x throughGLiNER2ClassificationAdapter).it appends to a text without a sentence end)GLiNERAdapterdata_processor.words_splitteris wrapped, so inference and metering (both throughprepare_inputs) read the same windowGLiNERBiAdapterGLiRELAdapterGLiNER2.5-Decide, GLiFormer, Laya and GLiClass already bound their input by
tokens and are unchanged.
Two related bounds:
at a time. For DeBERTa encoders, whose attention memory grows with rows
times the square of the longest row, a batch that would exceed a fixed
attention budget (rows x tokens^2 <= 4096^2) is split into passes grouped by
row length (
plan_forwards). A batch that fits runs exactly as before, inone call.
long, in a 50,000-entry cache for the adapter's lifetime. The adapter now
keeps only words of at most 32 characters (16,384 entries), as the
GLiNER2.5-Decide adapter does.
Metering
Unchanged. GLiNER and the GLiNER bi-encoder bill the document subwords their
real processor encodes, which is now the bounded window, so metering follows
the executed work. GLiNER2 bills the document tokens up to
max_seq_length,as before. The change only reduces executed work; it adds none that is not
billed.
Performance
Median warm latency of one item on an NVIDIA L4 (float16 where the model
profile sets it), measured in process through each adapter's
extract. Eachinput is a 206-character prose prefix followed by the text named in the first
column. On ordinary text latency is unchanged (first row,
main→ thisbranch); inputs with long unbroken words, whose latency and memory used to
grow with the length of the word, are now bounded by the window:
main→ branch)Peak activation memory for one such item stays under 2 GB on these models
(3.2 GB for gliner-relex-large, whose 2048-word window allows 4096 subwords).
Twelve such items in one gliner2-large request run in grouped passes in about
5 s, and one such item batched with eleven short ones in about 0.55 s. The
bi-encoders, whose tokenizers already truncate at 8192 tokens, no longer
tokenize the whole run first (a 2 MiB run takes about 180 ms on
gliner-bi-base-v2.0 and modern-gliner-bi-base-v1.0).
The release images (
Dockerfile.cuda12,defaultandtransformers5bundles) served on an L4 behave the same over HTTP for every GLiNER-family
model of each bundle, GLiGuard included.
Parity
Nineteen ordinary inputs per model (English prose, code, CSV, JSON lines, this
repository's README, German, French, Spanish, Czech, Turkish, Russian, Hindi,
Korean, Chinese, Japanese, a 60-sentence document, and a batch of eight of
them) give identical entities, relations, scores and metered tokens on
mainand on this branch, for gliner2-large, gliner2-base, gliner_multi-v2.1,gliner_multi_pii-v1, NuNER Zero, gliner-relex-large, gliner-bi-base,
modern-gliner-bi-base and GLiREL large, with two exceptions:
(see above).
in several passes, and returns the same entities with scores within 1.5e-3
(float16 padding differences).
Compatibility
No API or wire change. Outputs change only for documents with a word longer
than 256 characters or more subwords than the budget; those now read the
bounded window. GLiREL no longer passes supplied entities that lie past the
words it reads (it could not score them), and returns no relations for an
item none of whose entities it reads.
Tests
tests/adapters/test_word_window.py: pieces and their offsets, the budgetand word limits, absolute-position detection, the prefix cut, subword
counting and its cache, and pass planning.
tests/adapters/test_gliner2_long_text.py(from fix(server): split GLiNER2 documents in linear time #371): ordinary texts stillgive gliner2's real processor exactly the input its own splitter gives, and
a prefix exactly the input of the whole text, including texts ending in a
URL without a sentence end and texts whose lowercase changes length; long
words are read in pieces with correct offsets and within the budget (in both
gliner2 1.x and 2.x splitting); an entity inside a long word keeps its
offsets; pathological documents keep the encoder row within the budget in
bounded time; long batches, relation and structured-extraction rows run in
passes within the attention budget, and ordinary batches in one.
tests/adapters/test_gliner_long_words.py: gliner's real processor with anin-memory tokenizer, for GLiNER (DeBERTa and ModernBERT encoders, absolute
positions), the bi-encoder and GLiREL (including its
load()wiring andentity validation). On
mainthese long-word and pass-planning tests fail.transformers5bundle).
Validation
mise run lint,mise run typecheck: pass.mise run test: pass.images of both bundles served on an L4 and probed over HTTP with the same
inputs for every GLiNER-family model of each bundle, GLiGuard and
GLiNER2.5-Decide included.
