# GENRE
The GENRE (Generative ENtity REtrieval) system as presented in [Autoregressive Entity Retrieval](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.00904) implemented in pytorch.
In a nutshell, GENRE uses a sequence-to-sequence approach to entity retrieval (e.g., linking), based on fine-tuned [BART](https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.13461) architecture. GENRE performs retrieval generating the unique entity name conditioned on the input text using constrained beam search to only generate valid identifiers. The model was first released in the [facebookresearch/GENRE](https://github.com/facebookresearch/GENRE) repository using `fairseq` (the `transformers` models are obtained with a conversion script similar to [this](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/master/src/transformers/models/bart/convert_bart_original_pytorch_checkpoint_to_pytorch.py).
This model was trained on the full training set of [BLINK](https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.03814) (i.e., 9M datapoints for entity-disambiguation grounded on Wikipedia).

## Usage
Here is an example of generation for Wikipedia page disambiguation:
```python
import pickle
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
# OPTIONAL: load the prefix tree (trie), you need to additionally download
# https://huggingface.co/facebook/genre-kilt/blob/main/trie.py and
# https://huggingface.co/facebook/genre-kilt/blob/main/kilt_titles_trie_dict.pkl
# from trie import Trie
# with open("kilt_titles_trie_dict.pkl", "rb") as f:
# trie = Trie.load_from_dict(pickle.load(f))
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/genre-linking-blink")
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("facebook/genre-linking-blink").eval()
sentences = ["Einstein was a [START_ENT] German [END_ENT] physicist."]
outputs = model.generate(
**tokenizer(sentences, return_tensors="pt"),
num_beams=5,
num_return_sequences=5,
# OPTIONAL: use constrained beam search
# prefix_allowed_tokens_fn=lambda batch_id, sent: trie.get(sent.tolist()),
)
tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)
```
which outputs the following top-5 predictions (using constrained beam search)
```
['Germans',
'Germany',
'German Empire',
'Weimar Republic',
'Greeks']
```
