This is a T5 v1.1 model, pre-trained on a Japanese corpus.

Model details

T5 is a Transformer-based Encoder-Decoder model, now in v1.1, with the following improvements over the original T5.

GEGLU activation in feed-forward hidden layer, rather than ReLU - see https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.05202 .
Dropout was turned off in pre-training (quality win). Dropout should be re-enabled during fine-tuning.
no parameter sharing between embedding and classifier layer
"xl" and "xxl" replace "3B" and "11B". The model shapes are a bit different - larger d_model and smaller num_heads and d_ff.

This model is based on T5 v1.1. It was pre-trained on a Japanese corpus. For the Japanese corpus, Japanese Wikipedia and mC4/ja were used.

We use T5X (https://github.com/google-research/t5x) for the training of this model, and it has been converted to the Huggingface transformer format.

The training data used is

The following filtering is done

Remove documents that do not use a single hiragana character. This removes English-only documents and documents in Chinese.
Whitelist-style filtering using the top level domain of URL to remove affiliate sites.
