# ProgressGym-HistLlama3-8B-C015-pretrain

## Overview

#### The ProgressGym Framework

![Framework Diagram](./readme-assets/main-diagram.png)

**ProgressGym-HistLlama3-8B-C015-pretrain** is part of the **ProgressGym** framework for research and experimentation on *progress alignment* - the emulation of moral progress in AI alignment algorithms, as a measure to prevent risks of societal value lock-in. 

To quote the paper [*ProgressGym: Alignment with a Millennium of Moral Progress*](https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.20087):

> Frontier AI systems, including large language models (LLMs), hold increasing influence over the epistemology of human users. Such influence can reinforce prevailing societal values, potentially contributing to the lock-in of misguided moral beliefs and, consequently, the perpetuation of problematic moral practices on a broad scale. 
>
> We introduce *progress alignment* as a technical solution to mitigate this imminent risk. Progress alignment algorithms learn to emulate the mechanics of human moral progress, thereby addressing the susceptibility of existing alignment methods to contemporary moral blindspots.

#### ProgressGym-HistLlama3-8B-C015-pretrain

ProgressGym-HistLlama3-8B-C015-pretrain is one of the **36 historical language models** in the ProgressGym framework. It is a pretrained model without instruction-tuning. For the instruction-tuned version, see [ProgressGym-HistLlama3-8B-C015-instruct](https://huggingface.co/PKU-Alignment/ProgressGym-HistLlama3-8B-C015-instruct).

**ProgressGym-HistLlama3-8B-C015-pretrain is under continual iteration.** Improving upon the current version, new versions of the model are currently being trained to reflect historical moral tendencies in ever more comprehensive ways.

**ProgressGym-HistLlama3-8B-C015-pretrain is a 15th-century historical language model.** Based on [Meta-Llama-3-8B](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B), It is continued-pretrained on the 15th-century text data from [ProgressGym-HistText](https://huggingface.co/datasets/PKU-Alignment/ProgressGym-HistText), using the following hyperparameters:

- learning_rate: 1.5e-05
- train_batch_size: 8
- eval_batch_size: 16
- seed: 42
- distributed_type: multi-GPU
- num_devices: 8
- total_train_batch_size: 64
- total_eval_batch_size: 128
- optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
- lr_scheduler_type: polynomial
- lr_scheduler_warmup_steps: 20
- num_epochs: 3.02
- mixed_precision_training: Native AMP

... with the following training results:

Note that the training data volume for the continued pretraining stage is capped at 3GB. When the corresponding century's corpus exceeds this volume, the training data is randomly sampled to fit the volume.

  - Project Gutenberg, one among our four source of our historical text data, consists only of texts in the public domain.
  - For the text that we draw from Internet Archive, we only include those that uploaded by *Library of Congress*, which are texts freely released online by the U.S. Library of Congress for research and public use.
  - The text data from Early English Books Online are, according to their publisher, "freely available to the public" and "available for access, distribution, use, or reuse by anyone".
