Model Description

This HF repository hosts instruction fine-tuned multilingual BLOOM model using the parallel instruction dataset called Bactrain-X in 52 languages. We progressively add a language during instruction fine-tuning at each time, and train 52 models in total. Then, we evaluate those models in three multilingual benchmarks.

Please refer to our paper for more details.

• Base model: BLOOM 7B1
• Instruction languages: English, Chinese, Afrikaans, Arabic, Azerbaijani, Bengali, Czech, German, Spanish, Estonian, Farsi
• Instruction language codes: en, zh, af, ar, az, bn, cs, de, es, et, fa
• Training method: full-parameter fine-tuning.

Usage

The model checkpoint should be loaded using transformers library.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("MaLA-LM/lucky52-bloom-7b1-no-11")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("MaLA-LM/lucky52-bloom-7b1-no-11")
