+        Translate relative position to a bucket number for relative attention. The relative position is defined as
+        memory_position - query_position, i.e. the distance in tokens from the attending position to the attended-to
+        position. If bidirectional=False, then positive relative positions are invalid. We use smaller buckets for
+        small absolute relative_position and larger buckets for larger absolute relative_positions. All relative
+        positions >=max_distance map to the same bucket. All relative positions <=-max_distance map to the same bucket.
+        This should allow for more graceful generalization to longer sequences than the model has been trained on
