[What are attention masks?](../glossary#attention-mask) decoder_input_ids (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length)`, *optional*): Indices of decoder input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Indices can be obtained using [`AutoTokenizer`]. See [`PreTrainedTokenizer.encode`] and [`PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__`] for details. [What are decoder input IDs?](../glossary#decoder-input-ids) Blenderbot uses the `bos_token_id` as the starting token for `decoder_input_ids` generation. If `past_key_values` is used, optionally only the last `decoder_input_ids` have to be input (see `past_key_values`). decoder_attention_mask (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length)`, *optional*): will be made by default and ignore pad tokens. It is not recommended to set this for most use cases. decoder_position_ids (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*): Indices of positions of each decoder input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range `[0, config.max_position_embeddings - 1]`. head_mask (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(encoder_layers, encoder_attention_heads)`, *optional*): Mask to nullify selected heads of the attention modules in the encoder. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`: - 1 indicates the head is **not masked**, - 0 indicates the head is **masked**. decoder_head_mask (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(decoder_layers, decoder_attention_heads)`, *optional*): Mask to nullify selected heads of the attention modules in the decoder. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`: - 1 indicates the head is **not masked**, - 0 indicates the head is **masked**. cross_attn_head_mask (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(decoder_layers, decoder_attention_heads)`, *optional*): Mask to nullify selected heads of the cross-attention modules. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`: - 1 indicates the head is **not masked**, - 0 indicates the head is **masked**. encoder_outputs (`tf.FloatTensor`, *optional*): hidden states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder. of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)` is a sequence of past_key_values (`Tuple[Tuple[tf.Tensor]]` of length `config.n_layers`) contains precomputed key and value hidden states of the attention blocks. Can be used to speed up decoding. If `past_key_values` are used, the user can optionally input only the last `decoder_input_ids` (those that don't have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, 1)` instead of all `decoder_input_ids` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`. use_cache (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`): If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see `past_key_values`). Set to `False` during training, `True` during generation output_attentions (`bool`, *optional*): Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See `attentions` under returned tensors for more detail. This argument can be used only in eager mode, in graph mode the value in the config will be used instead. output_hidden_states (`bool`, *optional*): Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See `hidden_states` under returned tensors for more detail. This argument can be used only in eager mode, in graph mode the value in the config will be used instead. return_dict (`bool`, *optional*): Whether or not to return a [`~utils.ModelOutput`] instead of a plain tuple. This argument can be used in eager mode, in graph mode the value will always be set to True. training (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`): Whether or not to use the model in training mode (some modules like dropout modules have different behaviors between training and evaluation). c
