MaLA-500 is a novel large language model designed to cover an extensive range of 534 languages. This model builds upon LLaMA 2 7B and integrates continued pretraining with vocabulary extension, with an expanded vocabulary size of 260,164, and LoRA low-rank adaptation.
- Continued Pretraining: Enhances the model's ability to adapt to a wide range of languages.
- LoRA Low-Rank Adaptation: LoRA low-rank adaptation refines the model's adaptation capabilities.
- Vocabulary Extension: MaLA-500 boasts an extended vocabulary size of 260,164.
- Multilingual Proficiency: Trained on Glot500-c, covering 534 languages.
How to Get Started with the Model
Use the code below to get started with the model.
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
from peft import PeftModel
base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained('meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf')
base_model.resize_token_embeddings(260164)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('MaLA-LM/mala-500')
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, 'MaLA-LM/mala-500')
