can't convert opennmt.py model with alibi or rotary embeddings to ctranslate2

[totaltube]

I get this error when max_relative_positions: -1 or max_relative_positions: -2

what version or codebase of OpenNMT-py did you use? it seems that you have both position_encoding=True and max_relative_position !=0 it is now tested and avoided: https://github.com/OpenNMT/OpenNMT-py/blame/master/onmt/utils/parse.py#L302

Master version on the time of writting. position_encoding: false

With max_relative_position = 20 - converstion goes ok, but with -1 or -2 it fails.

I see that you are trying to convert an encoder-decoder model (_get_model_spec_seq2seq is in the stack trace), but the converter currently does not handle max_relative_positions: -1 or max_relative_positions: -2 for these models.

Yes. Ok, just wanted to test these new options for nmt tasks. Anyways, old options works good)

[vince62s]

you still can assess your model with regular opennmt-py inference, I am also intrested in such results. we'll add those options in the encoder/decoder config if it makes sense.

At least, I tested it with the following options: add_ffnbias: false, multiquery: true, add_qkvbias: false. I also added other layers to ensure that the model has the same or more parameters. However, it performed worse compared to the standard options.
