 ## Performance
-A thorough evaluation of the North-T5 models is planned. I strongly recommend any external researchers to make their own evaluation. The main advantage with the T5-models are their flexibility. Traditionally, encoder-only models (like BERT) excels in classification tasks, while seq-2-seq models are easier to train for tasks like translation and Q&A. Despite this, here are the results from using North-T5 on the political classification task explained [here](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.09617).

-This is preliminary results. The [results](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.09617) from the BERT-models are based on the test-results from the best model after 10 runs with early stopping and a decaying learning rate. The T5-results are the average of five runs on the evaluation set. The small-model was trained for 10.000 steps, while the rest for 5.000 steps. A fixed learning rate was used (no decay), and no early stopping. Neither was the recommended rank classification used. We use a max sequence length of 512. This method simplifies the test setup and gives results that are easy to interpret. However, the results from the T5 model might actually be a bit sub-optimal.

 |**Model** | **Description** |
 |:-----------|:-------|
 |**North&#8209;T5&#8209;NCC** |This is the main version. It is trained an additonal 500.000 steps on from the mT5 checkpoint. The training corpus is based on [the Norwegian Colossal Corpus (NCC)](https://huggingface.co/datasets/NbAiLab/NCC). In addition there are added data from MC4 and English Wikipedia.| 
-|**North&#8209;T5&#8209;NCC&#8209;lm**|Pretrained for an addtional 100k steps on the LM objective discussed in the [T5 paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.10683.pdf). In a way this turns a masked language model into an autoregressive model. It also prepares the model for some tasks. When for instance  doing translation and NLI, it is well documented that there is a clear benefit to do a step of unsupervised LM-training before starting the finetuning.| 
-|**North&#8209;T5&#8209;NCC&#8209;modern**| Pretrained for an additional 200k steps on a blanaced Bokmål and Nynorsk corpus. While original made for doing translation between Bokmål and Nynorsk, it might also give improved results on tasks where you know that the input/output is modern "standard" text. A significant part of the training corpus is newspapers and reports.|
-|**North&#8209;T5&#8209;NCC&#8209;modern&#8209;lm**| As above but with the extra 100k language model pretraining.|

The model was trained for increasing the understanding of what effect such training has on various languages.|

-|**North&#8209;byT5&#8209;base**| A vocabulary free version of T5. Trained exactly like North-T5, but instead of the 250,112 vocabulary, this model operates directly on the raw text. The model architecture might be of particulary interest for tasks involving for instance spelling correction, OCR-cleaning, handwriting recognition etc. However, it will, by design, have a shorter maximum sequence length.|

 ## Fine-tuned versions
-As explained below, the model really needs to be fine-tuned for specific tasks. This procedure is simple, and the model is not very sensitive to the hyper-parameters used. Usually a decent result can be obtained by using a fixed learning rate of 1e-3. Smaller versions of the model typically needs to be trained for a longer time. It is easy to train the base-models in a Google Colab. I will provide an exampel Notebook on this soon.

 Since some people really want to see what the models are capable of, without going through the training procedure, I provide a couple of test models. These models are by no means optimised, and are just for demonstrating how the North-T5 models can be used.
 
-* Nynorsk Translator. Translates any text from Norwegian Bokmål to Norwegian Nynorsk.
-* De-Uncaser. Puts punctation, spaces and capital letters back into the text. The input needs to be in Norwegian but does not have to be divided into sentences or have proper capitalisation of words. You can even remove the spaces from the text, and make the model reconstruct it.

 ## Training details
-The models are built using the Flax-based T5X codebase, and all models are initiated with the mT5 pretrained weights. The models are trained using the T5.1.1 training regime, where they are only trained on an unsupervised masking-task. This also means that the models (contrary to the original T5) needs to be finetuned to solve specific tasks. This finetuning is however usually not very compute intensive, and in most cases it can be performed even with free online training resources.

-All the main model model versions are trained for 500.000 steps after the mT5 checkpoint (1.000.000 steps). They are all trained mainly on a 75GB corpus, consisting of NCC, Common Crawl and some additional high quality English text (Wikipedia). The corpus is roughly 80% Norwegian text. Additional languages are added to retain some of the multilingual capabilities, making the model both more robust to new words/concepts and also more suited as a basis for translation tasks.

-While the huge models almost always will give the best results, they are also both difficult and expensive to finetune. It is strongly recommended to start with finetuning on a base-models. This can typically easily be finetuned on a standard graphic card or a free TPU through Google Colab. The sub-versions of the North-T5-base model was created with this in mind.

+All models were trained on TPUs. The largest XXL model was trained on a TPU v4-64, the XL model on a TPU v4-32, the Large model on a TPU v4-16 and the rest on TPU v4-8. Since it is possible to reduce the batch size during fine-tuning, it is also possible to finetune on slightly smaller hardware. The rule of thumb is that you can go "one step down" when finetuning. The large models still rewuire access to significant hardware, even for finetuning.
 
 ## Formats
-All models are trained using the Flax-based T5X library. The original checkpoints are available in T5X format and can be used for both finetuning or interference. All models, except the XXL-model, are also converted to Transformers/HuggingFace. In this framework, the models are available both in Flax, PyTorch and TensorFlow format.
