This is a fine-tuned version of the pre-trained [RuDOLPH 2.7B model](https://huggingface.co/sberbank-ai/RuDOLPH-2.7B). Model was trained by [Sber AI](https://github.com/ai-forever) and [AIRI](https://airi.net) teams.

# Model Description

**RU**ssian **D**ecoder **O**n **L**anguage **P**icture **H**yper-tasking (**RUDOLPH**) **2.7B** is the largest text-image-text transformer designed for an easy fine-tuning for a range of tasks: from generating images by text description and image classification to visual question answering and more. This model demonstrates the power of Hyper-tasking Transformers.

*Hyper-tasking means generalized multi-tasking, e.g., the model that can solve almost all tasks within supported modalities (two modalities in case of RUDOLPH: images and Russian texts).*

* Tasks: ` text2image generation, self reranking, text ranking, image ranking, image2text generation, zero-shot image classification, text2text generation, text-qa, math-qa, image captioning, image generation, text-in-the-wild, vqa, and so on`
* Language: ` Russian`
* Type: ` decoder`
* Num Parameters: ` 2.7B`
* Training Data Volume: ` 119 million text-image pairs, 60 million text paragraphs`
* Fine-tuning Data Volume: ` 43 334 text question-answer pairs, 100 000 math tasks, 85 000 text-image pairs (for captioning, generation), 85 759 visual question-answer pairs, 140 000 image-text pairs for text recognition`

The model was prepared as a baseline for FusionBrain Challenge 2.0 (as a part of AI Journey Contest 2022) and is a fine-tuned version of the pre-trained [RuDOLPH 2.7B model](https://huggingface.co/sberbank-ai/RuDOLPH-2.7B) using 6 tasks:

* Text QA – [SberQUaD dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sberquad).
* Math QA – [DeepMind Mathematics Dataset](https://github.com/deepmind/mathematics_dataset).
* Image Captioning – [COCO dataset](https://cocodataset.org/#home) (with automated translation).
* Image Generation – [COCO dataset](https://cocodataset.org/#home) (with automated translation).
* VQA – [COCO dataset](https://cocodataset.org/#home) with prepared question set.
* [Text Recognition in the Wild](https://n-ws-f21jf.s3pd02.sbercloud.ru/b-ws-f21jf-ny6/FBC2/titw_dataset.zip) – the dataset consisting of synthetic and real-world human-annotated data for text recognition task.

# Details of architecture

### Parameters

<img src=https://github.com/ai-forever/ru-dolph/blob/master/pics/scheme-rudolph_27B.jpg height="60" border="2"/>

The maximum sequence length that this model may be used with depends on the modality and stands for 384 - 576 - 128 for the left text tokens, image tokens, and right text tokens, respectively.

RUDOLPH 2.7B is a Transformer-based decoder model with the following parameters:

* num\_layers (32) — Number of hidden layers in the Transformer decoder.
* hidden\_size (2560) — Dimensionality of the hidden layers.
* num\_attention\_heads (32) — Number of attention heads for each attention layer.

### Sparse Attention Mask

The primary proposed method is to modify the sparse transformer's attention mask to better control modalities. It allows us to calculate the transitions of modalities in both directions, unlike another similar work DALL-E Transformer, which used only one direction, "text to image". The proposed "image to right text" direction is achieved by extension sparse attention mask to the right for auto-repressively text generation with both image and left text condition.
