# LaMini-FLAN-T5-77M

[![Model License](https://img.shields.io/badge/Model%20License-CC%20By%20NC%204.0-red.svg)]()

This model is one of our LaMini model series in paper "[LaMini: A Diverse Herd of Distilled Models from Large-Scale Instructions](https://github.com/mbzuai-nlp/lamini)". This model is a fine-tuned version of [google/flan-t5-small](https://huggingface.co/google/flan-t5-small) on [LaMini dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/MBZUAI/LaMini-instruction) that contains 2.58M samples for instruction fine-tuning. For more information about our dataset, please refer to our [project repository](https://github.com/mbzuai-nlp/lamini/).  
You can view other LaMini model series as follow. Note that not all models are performing as well. More details can be seen in our paper.

## Use

### Intended use
We recommend using the model to response to human instructions written in natural language. 

We now show you how to load and use our model using HuggingFace `pipline()`. 

```python
# pip install -q transformers
from transformers import pipeline

checkpoint = "{model_name}"

model = pipeline('text2text-generation', model=checkpoint, use_auth_token=True, device=0)

input_prompt = 'Please let me know your thoughts on the given place and why you think it deserves to be visited: \n"Barcelona, Spain"'
generated_text = generator(input_prompt, max_length=512, do_sample=True)[0]['generated_text']

print("Response": generated_text)
```

## Training Procedure
We initialize with [google/flan-t5-small](https://huggingface.co/google/flan-t5-small) and fine-tune it on our [LaMini dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/MBZUAI/LaMini-instruction). Its total number of parameters is 77M. 

### Training Hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:
- learning_rate: 0.0005
- train_batch_size: 128
- eval_batch_size: 64
- seed: 42
- gradient_accumulation_steps: 4
- total_train_batch_size: 512
- optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
- lr_scheduler_type: linear
- num_epochs: 5

## Evaluation
We conducted two sets of evaluations: automatic evaluation on downstream NLP tasks and human evaluation on user-oriented instructions. For more detail, please refer to our [paper]().
