Text To Text Transfer Transformer

This is a machine learning framework for treating diverse natural language processing tasks as a unified text-to-text problem. It provides a toolkit for pre-training and fine-tuning large-scale transformer models, utilizing a system where both inputs and outputs are formatted as raw text sequences.

The framework is distinguished by its distributed training system, which uses mesh-based strategies to scale model weights and training batches across multiple TPU cores. It supports multi-task learning by combining diverse datasets into a single training stream using configurable mixture rates, allowing a single model to handle various language tasks.

The system covers a broad range of capabilities including encoder-decoder architectures, beam-search decoding for text generation, and transfer learning workflows. It includes utilities for NLP dataset preparation, model performance evaluation, and exporting trained checkpoints for production serving.

The library supports loading pre-trained model checkpoints of various sizes to accelerate development.
