 Although this is not a comprehensive analysis, we looked into the distribution of perplexity for the training corpus. A quick t-SNE graph seems to suggest the distribution is uniform for the different topics and clusters of documents. The [interactive plot](https://huggingface.co/bertin-project/bertin-roberta-base-spanish/raw/main/images/perplexity_colored_embeddings.html) was generated using [a distilled version of multilingual USE](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/distiluse-base-multilingual-cased-v1) to embed a random subset of 20,000 examples and each example is colored based on its perplexity. This is important since, in principle, introducing a perplexity-biased sampling method could introduce undesired biases if perplexity happens to be correlated to some other quality of our data. The code required to replicate this plot is available at [`tsne_plot.py`](https://huggingface.co/bertin-project/bertin-roberta-base-spanish/blob/main/tsne_plot.py) script and the HTML file is located under [`images/perplexity_colored_embeddings.html`](https://huggingface.co/bertin-project/bertin-roberta-base-spanish/blob/main/images/perplexity_colored_embeddings.html).

 ### Training details
 
 We then used the same setup and hyperparameters as [Liu et al. (2019)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.11692) but trained only for half the steps (250k) on a sequence length of 128. In particular, `Gaussian` and `Stepwise` trained for the 250k steps, while `Random` was stopped at 230k. `Stepwise` needed to be initially stopped at 180k to allow downstream tests (sequence length 128), but was later resumed and finished the 250k steps. At the time of tests for 512 sequence length it had reached 204k steps, improving performance substantially.

 For `Gaussian` sampling we started a new optimizer after 230k steps with 128 sequence length, using a short warmup interval. Results are much better using this procedure. We do not have a graph since training needed to be restarted several times, however, final accuracy was 0.6873 compared to 0.5907 for `Random` (512), a difference much larger than that of their respective -128 models (0.6520 for `Random`, 0.6608 for `Gaussian`). Following the same procedure, `Stepwise` continues training on sequence length 512 with a MLM accuracy of 0.6744 at 31k steps.
 
-Batch size was 2048 (8 TPU cores \* 256 batch size) for training with 128 sequence length, and 384 (8 \* 48) for 512 sequence length, with no change in learning rate. Warmup steps for 512 was 500.
