混合专家模型MoE
MoE基本概念
混合专家模型(Mixture of Experts, MoE)是一种条件计算架构,通过动态选择性地激活模型的一部分来处理输入。MoE的核心思想是:将模型参数分成多个"专家"网络,每个专家专注于处理特定类型的任务,然后通过一个门控网络(路由器)决定哪些专家被激活。
MoE的关键优势在于:
- 稀疏激活:每个token只使用部分专家,降低计算成本
- 参数效率:总参数量大但激活参数少,性价比高
- 专业化:不同专家可以学习不同的知识模式

import torch.nn as nn
import torch.nn.functional as F
class MoELayer(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, hidden_dim, num_experts=8, top_k=2):
super().__init__()

# 专家网络:每个专家是一个FFN
self.experts = nn.ModuleList([
nn.Sequential(
nn.Linear(hidden_dim, hidden_dim * 4),
nn.GELU(),
nn.Linear(hidden_dim * 4, hidden_dim)
) for _ in range(num_experts)
])
# 门控网络(路由器)
self.gate = nn.Linear(hidden_dim, num_experts, bias=False)
def forward(self, x):
batch_size, seq_len, hidden_dim = x.shape
# 计算每个专家的门控分数

# 选择top-k专家
topk_values, topk_indices = torch.topk(gate_logits, self.top_k, dim=-1)
# 计算门控权重
topk_weights = F.softmax(topk_values, dim=-1)
