### Running evaluation runs
Each pre-trained model was evaluated by fine-tuning on summarization and translation. The learning-rate was set to
a constant schedule after a small warmup of 32 steps.
Fine-tuning for evaluation was done on a limited set of 50K examples from the fine-tuning datasets.

The graph below ([Wandb link](https://api.wandb.ai/links/yepster/hpab7khl)) shows the Rouge1 score for the summarization runs, evaluated

showing performance comparable to Dutch T5 base models.
* After 50K examples, the `ul2` models exhibit similar performance to the `flan` models.
* I am surprised by the consistent bad scores for the `long-t5` runs. I've retried the fine-tuning of these models with
`float32` instead of `bfloat16`, but the results were the same. Maybe this is normal behaviour for these models
targeted at dealing with longer sequence lengths.

`UL2 Dutch` pre-trained Dutch models are consistently better than their `Flan`, `T5 Dutch` and
`mT5` counterparts of the comparable size.
* Like with the summarization task, the `long-t5` models show bad performance, even after 50K examples. I do not understand
cannot explain this at all for this translation task. With a sequence length of 128 input and output
tokens, the sliding attention window with radius length 127 of the `long-t5` models should be able to handle this.
The figure below shows the evaluation scores for most models, with summarization Rouge1 on the x-axis (higher is better),
and translation English to Dutch Bleu score on the y-axis (higher is better).
The point size is proportional to the model size. UL2 models are blue, Flan models

Among the omitted are `t5-base-36L-dutch-english-cased` with scores comparable to `ul2-large-dutch-english`, but slower inference.
The `long-t5` models had such a bad performance that they could not be graphed without cluttering the other models together.
Also fine-tuning `t5-v1.1-large-dutch-cased` with the fixed settings for learning rate and batch size diverged.
* Across the board, for translation the models pre-trained with Dutch+English or Dutch converge faster than other models.
I was surprised to see `t5-xl-4l` among the best models on translation, as it has only 4 layers, and previous tests
showed that it had a very bad performance (In those tests I had forgot to force set the dropout rate to 0.0, and
apparently this model was very sensitive to dropout).

st.markdown("""### Bfloat16 datatype requires loss regularization
When training models with `bfloat16` and without loss regularization (default), the training losses would plateau or
diverge. The graph below displays the results of different attempts
to train [t5-small-24L-dutch-english](https://huggingface.co/yhavinga/t5-small-24L-dutch-english).
The legend indicates the optimizer, data type, learning rate, total batch size, and learning rate schedule used.
As you can see, all attempts to train with `bfloat16` failed.
""")
st.image("bfloat16_loss.png", width=IMAGE_WIDTHS)
st.markdown("""The solution was found when peeking at T5X and the T5 gin configs, where I noticed a `z_loss` parameter,
always set to 1e-4. This factor is used in the [cross entropy loss](https://github.com/google-research/t5x/blob/a319e559b4f72bffab91821487382ef4c25dfcf4/t5x/losses.py#L26)
function, with the purpose to pull the weights towards zero.
I experimented with adding this regularization term in the HF pre-training script,
and the `bfloat16` training runs did not exhibit the problems illustrated above anymore.
When watching Andrej Karpathy [explaining an additional loss term
called 'regularization loss'](https://youtu.be/PaCmpygFfXo?t=6720) (L2 regularization), it appeared similar
to the regularization term added in T5X's cross entropy loss function.
The Optax optimizer, used in the HuggingFace script, mentions weight decay for AdaFactor (and AdamW)
but also mentions that L2 regularization does not work as expected with adaptive gradient
algorithms. It might be the case that setting a non-zero `weight_decay_rate` in the Optax Adafactor call
in the HuggingFace pre-training script is an alternative to adding the `z_loss` term, to solve the bfloat16 issues, but
I haven't tested this yet.

st.markdown("""### Which optimizer and lr to use
During the Flax/Jax Community week in '21, our team quickly decided on using Adafactor with learning rate 5e-3.
I believed that a more optimal setting could be found with more time.
After conducting seven WandB sweeps with
Adafactor, AdamW and Distributed Shampoo (experimental PJIT version from Dall-E mini),
a better setting had not been found. The graph below shows the runs from all 7 sweeps combined.
-- (I apologize for the confusion in the legend; I was unable to display the optimizer in the legend
because the initial version of the training script had the optimizer as a boolean, which I later
changed to a string with the optimizer name.) --
All runs in the graph below that achieve a loss below 4 use **Adafactor**.
Peach-sweep-6 is represented by a dashed orange line and had a learning rate of **5e-3**.

to find it. In a recent tweet Lucas Nestler had more success with Shampoo (https://twitter.com/_clashluke/status/1535994026876252160)
so maybe I need to revisit the attempt with the latest upstream code bases.
Later, when pre-training with T5X, I found that its custom Adafactor implementation with the default settings of the T5X gin configs,
a learning rate of 0.001 and inverse square root learning rate decay, worked well.

st.markdown("""### Optimizer and learning rate used for summarization
Finetuning summarization requires more memory than translation due to the longer sequence lengths involved.
I wondered if I could use Adafactor instead of Adam and ran
a sweep to test this. The sweep was configured with Hyperband, so not all training runs completed to the end.

While the Adafactor run with learning rate 7e-4 came close to the Adam runs, the consistent stability of training with Adam

models to converge during fine-tuning.

The models `t5-v1_1-base-dutch-english-cased` and `t5-v1_1-base-dutch-english-cased-1024` have the same model dimensions,
but are pre-trained on different sequence lenghts, 512 and 1024 respectively.
The evaluation loss and accuracy of the models do not look too different. Since training of the 1024 sequence length model was
very slow and didn't converge a was was very slow, I stopped it early. The figure below shows the evaluation
loss and accuracy.

perform similarly on downstream tasks, the 1024 sequence length model has better scores for both

The models `t5-small-24L-dutch-english` and `t5-base-36L-dutch-english` have been fine-tuned for both language
directions on the first 25M samples from CCMatrix, giving a total of 50M training samples.
Evaluation is performed on out-of-sample CCMatrix and also on Tatoeba and Opus Books.
The `_bp` columns list the *brevity penalty*. The `avg_bleu` score is the bleu score
averaged over all three evaluation datasets. The best scores displayed in bold for both translation directions.
