This is the card for the Gemma2 9B CPT SEA-LIONv3 base model which has undergone continued pre-training from the base [Gemma-2-9B](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-9b) model. SEA-LION stands for Southeast Asian Languages In One Network. ## Model Details ### Model Description The continued pre-training data for Gemma2 9B CPT SEA-LIONv3 base model encompasses approximately 200B tokens. - **Developed by:** Products Pillar, AI Singapore - **Funded by:** Singapore NRF - **Model type:** Decoder - **Languages:** English, Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, Tagalog, Tamil, Malay, Khmer, Lao, Burmese - **License:** [Gemma Community License](https://ai.google.dev/gemma/terms) For tokenization, the model employs the default tokenizer used in Gemma-2-9B. ### Benchmark Performance We evaluated Gemma2 9B CPT SEA-LIONv3 base model on general language capabilities. #### General Language Capabilities For the evaluation of general language capabilities, we employed the [SEA HELM evaluation benchmark](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.06085v2) across a variety of tasks. These tasks include Question Answering (QA), Sentiment Analysis (Sentiment), Toxicity Detection (Toxicity), Translation in both directions (Eng>Lang & Lang>Eng), Abstractive Summarization (Summ), Causal Reasoning (Causal) and Natural Language Inference (NLI). Note: SEA HELM is implemented using prompts which expect answers in a strict format. For all tasks, the model is expected to provide an answer tag from which the answer would be extracted. For tasks where options are provided, the answer should only include one of the pre-defined options. The weighted accuracy of the answers is calculated and normalisation is performed to account for baseline performance due to random chance. The evaluation was done **five-shot** with native prompts and only a sample of 100-1000 instances for each dataset was used as per the setting described in the paper.
