Llama3 8B for Sinhala: 100 target vocabulary size + Mean target vocabulary initialization + 2x2LS/MTP/512 training
This model is built on top of Llama3 8B adapted for Sinhala using 30K target language sentences sampled from CC-100.
Model Details
- Vocabulary: This model has an additional 100 target vocabulary.
- Target vocabulary initialization: The target weights of the embedding and LM head were initialized using Mean initialization.
- Training: This model was additionally pre-trained on 30K target language sentences sampled from CC-100. The training was conducted with the 2x2LS/MTP/512 strategies introduced in the paper.
