Model Description
This HF repository contains LLMs instruction tuned with full-parameter fine-tuning and then used to study whether monolingual or multilingual instruction tuning is more favourable.
Instruction tuning details
- Base model: bloom-1b7
- Instruction tuning language: multilingual (Bulgarian, Czech, Chinese, German, Finnish, French, Russian, and Spanish)
- Training method: full-parameter fine-tuning.
- Best checkpoint: best cross-entropy on a validation set, trained for 3 epochs.
- Dataset: machine-translated from yahma/alpaca-cleaned. You can download our data HERE.
Usage
The model checkpoint should be loaded using transformers library.
Please refer to our Github repository HERE for inference and training instructions.
