Llama2 7B for Sinhala: 100 target vocabulary size + Align target vocabulary initialization + 2 Stage training

This model is built on top of Llama2 7B adapted for Sinhala using 30K target language sentences sampled from CC-100.

Model Details

Vocabulary: This model has an additional 100 target vocabulary.
Target vocabulary initialization: The target weights of the embedding and LM head were initialized using Align initialization.
Training: This model was additionally pre-trained on 30K target language sentences sampled from CC-100. The training was conducted with the 2 Stage strategies introduced in the paper.

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 PeftModelForCausalLM

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "atsuki-yamaguchi/Llama-2-7b-hf-si-30K-align-2stage"
)
model = PeftModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model,
    "atsuki-yamaguchi/Llama-2-7b-hf-si-30K-align-2stage"
)
model = model.merge_and_unload()
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    "atsuki-yamaguchi/Llama-2-7b-hf-si-30K-align-2stage"
)
